Job Description:

Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

As an International Tax Advisory Manager within Caterpillar's Global Tax - International Tax Team, you will serve as a trusted business partner supporting Caterpillar's global operations by helping identify and navigate international tax considerations associated with business activities around the world.

In this role, you will collaborate with partners across Tax, Finance, Legal, Commercial, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Operations to evaluate business initiatives, assess potential international tax impacts, and provide practical recommendations that support business objectives while appropriately managing risk.

You will join a highly collaborative global team supporting operations across Canada, Latin America, EAME, and Asia. This role is ideal for a tax professional who has been exposed to non-U.S. tax matters and is looking to further develop their international tax expertise while growing within a global organization.

Success in this role requires strong communication, relationship-building, project management, and problem-solving skills. While an understanding of international tax concepts is important, the ability to partner with stakeholders, learn quickly, and translate complex topics into practical business guidance is equally critical.

What You Will Do

International Tax Advisory

• Support the analysis of international business activities, supply chain initiatives, and commercial transactions to identify tax considerations and opportunities.
• Partner with Finance, Legal, Commercial, Operations, and Tax teams to provide practical and business-focused recommendations.

• Assist with international income tax filings, transfer pricing documentation, and related compliance requirements.
• Support responses to tax authority inquiries and audit activities in various jurisdictions.
• Partner with internal stakeholders and external advisors to ensure timely and accurate compliance.

Project & Change Management

• Participate in cross-functional and cross-border initiatives, including supply chain transformations and organizational changes.
• Coordinate activities across multiple stakeholders and regions.
• Manage multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail and accountability.
• Help educate business partners on tax-related considerations impacting global operations.

What You Have

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, Business, Economics, or a related field.
• Experience supporting international or non-U.S. tax matters within a multinational corporation, public accounting firm, or similar environment.
• Exposure to international tax concepts, including:
  • Corporate Income Tax
  • International Tax
  • Transfer Pricing
  • Indirect Tax
  • Cross-border business transactions
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Demonstrated ability to build relationships and work effectively across functions and geographies.
• Strong organizational and project management skills.

Top Candidates Will Also Have

Tax & Business Experience

• Experience supporting non-U.S. tax matters across multiple jurisdictions.
• Exposure to international tax advisory, compliance, transfer pricing, or indirect tax matters.
• Experience working in a multinational corporation, public accounting firm, or a combination of both.
• Familiarity with global business operations and cross-border transactions.
• Experience supporting tax audits or responding to tax authority inquiries.

Business & Leadership Skills

• Ability to communicate complex concepts to non-tax audiences.
• Experience working on cross-functional projects involving stakeholders in multiple countries.

• Applying general international tax concepts to real-world business situations.
• Building relationships across functions and regions.
• Managing multiple priorities and projects effectively.
• Communicating recommendations in a clear, practical, and business-focused manner.
