    SUMMARY

  • Develop, evaluate, and implement tax efficient strategies including those for corporate structure and funding, the repatriation of profits, the effective use of tax credits, offsets, deductions, and loss carry forwards.

    • International Tax

  • Given the global nature of CAE's business, as a Canadian multinational company with foreign operations, this individual will manage the interaction between Canadian and foreign operations and taxes and will be responsible for the Company's global tax position, including the application of tax treaties, withholding taxes, transfer pricing legislation, and VAT.

  • Operate with a high degree of diligence in this compliance – with the ability to withstand scrutiny and potential litigation from tax authorities and within the court system.

    • Tax Reporting

  • Working closely with members of the team to establish and maintain tax accounting practices to accurately reflect the impact of taxes on the financial statements and on published results.
  • Manage the periodic review of tax processes and tax accounts by the external auditor(s).

  • This individual will lead an internal team, consisting of Directors, Managers and Specialists.
  • Externally, this position will interface with external consultants, tax advisors and tax authorities.

    • PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS

  • Minimum of 15 years of tax experience, highly reputed as an expert in the industry, and with a demonstrated track record of success managing the tax function in a company and/or related experience within a national public accounting firm or law firm.

  • Significant experience in Canadian, and International corporate tax is required.
  • Experience with Canadian tax compliance in a highly global public company, either as a consultant or as an in-house executive, with tax planning for funding and structuring of international contracts and agreements, and the management of internal tax resources is essential.
  • In-depth experience with tax planning activities in support of business transactions (M&A, restructuring, spin-offs, joint ventures).
  • Diverse range of technical tax experience to support review, planning, compliance, litigation issues and research for international, federal, state/provincial, and local tax matters - including knowledge and expertise in the areas of tax treaties, foreign taxation and withholdings, transfer pricing, VAT and GST.
  • Ability to identify innovative value creation tax opportunities and be adept at assessing different strategies and selecting the optimal course of action.
  • Highly conversant in all areas of tax – with the ability to manage creative ideas, transactions, and proposals, from both inside and outside the company.
  • A strategic, conceptual thinker who sees the big picture – from not only a tax perspective but also a business perspective - developing the vision, identifying appropriate strategies, and translating them into action.
  • A long-term player committed to leading the organization into the future. A driver, who will move the organization along.
  • An individual who has strong leadership and influencing skills, and the cultural sensitivity to operate effectively with executives in multiple countries, building relationships across several functions and levels.
