Sales tax can be a dry topic, so an engaging and dynamic approach both in tone and form is an important success factor. We are looking for a dynamic content creator who can make tax compliance engaging. The video team works closely with a variety of marketing groups, so project management, prioritization, and collaboration are key success factors. We actively work on many projects at one time, so we're looking for someone who is self-directed, sets reasonable expectations and communicates them clearly.

The logic behind calculating taxes the rules, rates, and boundaries is a global, layered, three-dimensional mess of complexity, with compliance dictated by governments and applied by every business, every day.
Avalara works with businesses of all sizes, all over the world from corner stores to gigantic global retailers to calculate tax accurately and automatically, at speeds measured in milliseconds. That's a massive technical challenge, in terms of scale, reliability, and complexity, and we do it better than anyone. That's why we're growing fast.
