Senior Tax Analyst, Production Tax (UCAN Series and Film)

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

We are seeking a collaborative and passionate professional with a strong client-service orientation to join our UCAN-based Production Tax team as a Senior Tax Analyst. In this role, you will deliver high-impact tax and production incentive support for Netflix productions. Your responsibilities will include managing global production incentives, offering strategic global tax planning and structuring advice, and conducting research and collaboration on legislative and global incentive policy initiatives. 

The ideal candidate will excel in organization and communication, possess exceptional attention to detail, and thrive in a team-oriented environment. This position is based in Los Angeles (3 days a week in office).  It requires consistent interpersonal communication and relationship building with a wide range of cross-functional colleagues, and therefore, it is not suitable for a fully remote working arrangement.

Responsibilities:

• Research and provide tax and incentive advice to Netflix cross-functional partners, such as Production Management, Production Finance, and Business & Legal Affairs teams,  with specific regard to cash flow, talent engagement, tax withholding, and indirect taxes.

• Evaluate and apply for production incentives (both domestic and international), and provide show-level support and tracking through the production, audit, and monetization phases.

• Effectively communicate complex tax and incentive matters in simple terms to other stakeholders and be comfortable making timely judgment calls in ambiguous situations.

• Coordinate with external advisors and the broader Netflix Corporate Tax Operations team to review international statutory accounts and tax returns, ensure incentive compliance, and maximize internal tax credit utilization.

• Liaise with Netflix Content Accounting and FP&A teams on financial reporting related to global incentives.

• Collaborate with the Studio Policy team to monitor and analyze existing and proposed tax/ incentive legislation, and assist in defining and implementing appropriate international tax planning strategies.

Qualifications:

We find that individuals who quickly obtained Manager-level at a studio or public accounting firm are more likely to be suited to this unique and challenging role.  If you’re a Manager or a rising star Senior Tax Associate, we’d love to talk to you.  If your background is more on the production side and includes several years of experience with film production incentives, we’d love to talk to you as well!

• 5 to 7 years of tax experience, including public accounting, law firm, and/or relevant in-house industry experience preferred

• CPA preferred but not required

• Experience with film production tax & incentive matters, or strong production finance experience at a studio a strong plus

• International tax consulting or production finance experience a plus
