Liberty Mutual Corporate Tax Department

Liberty’s highly integrated tax organization provides a collegial framework to achieve results. Typically, professionals contribute across all the key components of tax including planning & research, audits, compliance & financial reporting. In this role you will become a consummate tax professional vs. merely a specialist or tax technician.

The structure of the tax organization encourages and drives collaboration and teamwork. Therefore, you need to be an excellent communicator and execution oriented to succeed. A successful candidate will need to take ownership of key projects and deliverables, as well as manage ambiguity. The ability to be flexible and comfortable with change will also be critical to your success.

Liberty Mutual values a healthy work-life balance for its employees. In line with that, this position offers a flexible work model of two days in the office (either Boston or Seattle) and three days working from home.

Note: This is a hybrid opportunity with compensation dependent on candidate’s geographic location, overall experience, and skill level.

• Ensure timely and accurate completion of tax compliance assignments, demonstrating a strong attention to detail.
