Tax Counsel (Job ID: R-1056657)
Verizon is seeking an experienced Tax Counsel to join our tax legal team. This role presents a great opportunity to learn about Verizon’s key business segments and requires partnering with senior business leaders in sales, marketing, finance and commercial law in providing tax advice and counsel related to the structuring and negotiation of agreements with customers and vendors. The individual will be a key member of a team that negotiates the tax aspects of contracts with large multinational enterprises for the provision by Verizon of products and professional services in multiple jurisdictions. This individual will also negotiate with vendors the tax aspects associated with the procurement of key products and services needed by Verizon. These negotiations may be directly with the customers or vendors and their respective counsel. The structuring of these agreements is critical to minimize tax risk with respect to the allocation of taxes between Verizon and its counterpart and how the contract is structured amongst Verizon entities. These efforts are also critical in helping Verizon’s businesses meet their forecasted revenue growth and other key quarterly metrics.
