  • Stay up-to-date on US and Canada domestic and international relocation, tax, and immigration-related matters and regulations

  • Manage international year-end payroll and tax process (reporting, timeline, communication, etc.) with outside tax vendor and Starbucks US and International PRO and Payroll teams

We'd love to hear from people with:

  • Bachelor and/or graduate degree in business or related field

  • 3-5 years of international relocation, tax, and immigration experience with a comprehensive knowledge of program process and administration either with a relocation management company, tax or immigration vendor, or an in-house program for a corporate entity.

  • 2-3 years of US and Canada domestic relocation experience with a comprehensive knowledge of program process and administration either with a relocation management company or an in-house program for a corporate entity.

  • Ability to work flexible and extended hours to accommodate international time zones

  • Excellent written and verbal communications - ability to interface and influence with all levels of the organization

  • Experience working for a large, fast-paced multinational organization

  • Technically proficient in MS Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook
