GM Tax, as a part of the team that makes up Global Finance, is currently hiring Interns to join our team!

Projects expose interns to Tax Accounting, Tax Compliance, Indirect Tax, and even International Tax.
During the year you will spend 40 hours a week with GM employees receiving top-of-the line training and access to industry leading mentorship. You'll attend group events and interact with senior leaders and diverse teams. Collaboration with people across GM will be a key to your success!
