With millions of diners, 60,000+ restaurant partners and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most – their team, their guests, and their bottom line – while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion.

Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You’ll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.

About the Job

The Senior Tax Analyst will join a world-class finance operation to support the daily operations of our global tax function, promoting continuous improvement and high performance. In this role, you will complete critical domestic and international tax initiatives required to support dynamic growth and scale. We are seeking an exceptional teammate with a learning and growth mindset who challenges the status quo to improve processes. You will thrive in a fast-paced environment while driving impact through quantitative problem-solving and collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare global direct and indirect tax filings while collaborating with outside service providers on sales, use, business, and digital service taxes across various jurisdictions.
  • Support the preparation of income tax provisions, including standard calculations, tax account roll-forward schedules, and return-to-provision analyses.
  • Develop cross-department tax projections, model income tax scenarios, and conduct strategic research for business initiatives and compliance.
  • Identify key areas of improvement throughout the tax compliance process to develop and execute actionable plans.
  • Prepare monthly General Ledger account reconciliations and communicate required journal entries for direct and indirect tax accounts.
  • Ensure indirect taxes are accurately collected by maintaining global product taxability and exemption certificates, while also supporting tax audits.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

The best connections happen face-to-face, whether you’re sitting down to dinner or having coffee with a coworker. That’s why OpenTable has adopted a hybrid workplace model. This role aligns with that approach, with an expectation of coming into the office two days a week—giving employees the best of both worlds: in-person collaboration and flexibility.

Work Environment & Flexibility

At OpenTable, we pride ourselves on fostering a global and dynamic work environment. As a team member with us, you will benefit from a schedule tailored to accommodate a global workforce operating across multiple time zones. While the majority of your responsibilities may align with conventional business hours, there will be instances where you are expected to manage communications - via calls, Slack messages, or emails - outside of regular working hours to effectively collaborate with international colleagues, respond to restaurant partners, and/or address urgent matters. OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations.

Inclusion

We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. We know the best ideas come when we bring different voices to the table, so we're building a team as dynamic as the diners and restaurants we serve—and fostering a culture where everyone feels welcome to be themselves.

If you need any reasonable adjustments during the application/interview process, or on the job, we’re here to support you. Please reach out to your recruiter to request any accommodations.
