WHAT IS THE ROLE Ready to take full ownership of indirect tax compliance across six of Asia-Pacific's most complex and varied tax regimes? Elastic's Finance team is expanding its indirect tax coverage in the APAC region. We are looking for a Senior Indirect Taxes Analyst. This person will manage compliance in Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, and Singapore. You will prepare tax returns. You will also perform reconciliations and defend audits. Additionally, you will work on improving processes. WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING * Extract and prepare transaction data from NetSuite. This data helps create indirect tax returns for all six APAC jurisdictions. These jurisdictions are: BAS lodgements for Australia, VAT returns for China, GSTR filings for India, Consumption Tax returns for Japan, VAT returns for Korea, and GST returns for Singapore. * Drive timely, accurate submissions in coordination with our third-party tax vendor, acting as the senior internal point of contact for data, technical queries, and issue resolution across the APAC portfolio. * Build and maintain submission packages. This includes schedules. It also includes reconciliations and documentation for sign-off. Make sure these documents meet local filing requirements and internal audit standards in all areas. * Forecast indirect tax cash requirements across the APAC portfolio in coordination with Treasury, ensuring funding is in place ahead of each jurisdiction's payment deadline. * Execute monthly and quarterly reconciliations between indirect tax returns and the general ledger across all APAC entities, investigating and resolving discrepancies with finance and AP/AR teams. * Post indirect tax journal entries — accruals, reversals, and adjustments — with complete documentation that holds up under SOX and external audit review. * Maintain audit-ready records across all APAC filings, ensuring every number is traceable back to source for any regulatory examiner. * Initiate indirect tax payments on schedule across all jurisdictions, allocate them accurately, and track confirmations to close out each filing cycle. * Own tax process documentation for the APAC portfolio, keeping it current with regulatory changes and driving improvements that reduce manual effort and compliance risk. * Lead responses to indirect tax audits and authority inquiries across APAC jurisdictions, coordinating data pulls and managing external advisors through to resolution. * Identify and escalate emerging compliance risks or regulatory changes — particularly around China e-invoicing reform, Japan's qualified invoice system, and India GST updates — ahead of filing deadlines. WHAT YOU BRING * 3–5 years of indirect tax compliance experience with direct ownership of filings across one or more APAC jurisdictions. * Solid working knowledge of APAC indirect tax regimes — particularly GST (Australia, India, Singapore), Japan Consumption Tax, China VAT, or Korean VAT — and a proven ability to apply rules accurately under time pressure. * Advanced Excel skills and experience transforming large ERP data extracts into clean, filing-ready datasets. * Hands-on experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP system. * Clear written and verbal English communication skills for a global, remote-first finance team spanning multiple time zones. * Proven ability to deliver accurate, timely work across multiple jurisdictions and filing cycles with minimal supervision. * Sharp analytical instincts and the ability to spot data anomalies or compliance gaps before they reach the filing stage. BONUS POINTS * Experience across multiple APAC jurisdictions, particularly India or Japan's qualified invoice system. * Exposure to indirect tax technology, e-invoicing platforms, or ERP automation in an APAC context. * Background in a multinational technology or SaaS company. * Familiarity with indirect tax regimes outside APAC, such as EMEA VAT or LATAM indirect taxes.   #LI-DS1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - WE TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE As a distributed company, diversity drives our identity.
