Want to get close to the business? This VAT Manager role sits at the heart of Amazon's Digital & Devices operation, advising on EMEA expansions, cross-border digital services, and new business models. Based in London, you'll work directly with product and commercial teams — translating complex VAT questions into clear, actionable guidance. Key job responsibilities You will join a team of ten VAT specialists covering Amazon's Digital and Devices portfolio, taking ownership of specific business lines within that portfolio. Our team supports some of Amazon's most recognised and fastest-growing businesses — including Prime Video, Amazon MGM Studios, Alexa, Kindle, Audible, Amazon Music, Twitch, Devices (Ring, Eero), Appstore, Digital Software and Games, Amazon Prime, and M&A — as well as Amazon Leo, launching low earth orbit satellite broadband service for unserved and underserved communities worldwide. In your business lines, you will be the go-to VAT advisor: partnering directly with business teams to understand their commercial objectives and translating these into clear, pragmatic tax solutions. Your work will span product and service expansions, business restructurings, ESS obligations for cross-border digital services, e-invoicing launches across EMEA markets, and the full range of operational VAT questions that arise in a fast-moving environment.
