• Genuine interest in understanding the complexity of indirect tax compliance
• Working knowledge of SQL and/or Python
• Experience using AI tools to streamline labor-intensive processes and workflows
• Ability to lead projects and processes with minimal direction, and to hold yourself accountable for outcomes
• Strong collaboration skills and a history of working effectively across teams in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and make sound prioritization decisions
• A persistent, detail-oriented mindset — the kind of person who investigates discrepancies until they're fully resolved
• Ability to professionally represent Sovos in front of state regulatory authorities and external auditors
• Passionate about accuracy
• Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire
