Director of Tax

Job description

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Oversee state and local tax (SALT) strategy across the entity group, including nexus determination, apportionment, franchise filings, and sales and use tax compliance — the company's third-party tax compliance firm executes federal and state income tax return filings, but does not support sales tax or GRT filings; this role owns those filings directly.

Lead nexus remediation and voluntary disclosure agreements (VDAs) where historical exposure exists, and build the process so new exposure is identified early

Own international indirect tax obligations, including GRT/VAT, treaty positions, and information reporting.

Oversee preparation and review of income tax provisions, estimates, and forecasts across all entities, partnering with the company's third-party tax compliance firm on federal and state income tax return execution, and ensuring accuracy and timeliness

Manage 1099 filings across the entity group — vendor and contractor information reporting, form issuance, and coordination with the 1099 filing platform used

Coordinate transfer pricing and intercompany documentation with VP of Finance as the structure grows

Manage tax notices, tax audits, and examinations across jurisdictions from first notice to resolution

Partner closely with legal and executive leadership to support business decisions, cash management, and compliance requirements

Monitor legislative and regulatory changes across state and international jurisdictions and assess implications for the business

Support tax planning for new entities, products, and expansion into new states and markets, including modeling the tax impact of structural decisions

Communicate tax risks, positions, and implications to senior leadership in a clear and concise manner

Key Focus Areas

Build vs. inherit: stand up core tax processes, governance, and controls in an organization that is still maturing its finance function

Right-sized operating model: balance a lean internal structure with effective use of external advisors — including the third-party firm handling federal/state income tax filings — while directly owning sales tax, GRT, 1099 reporting, and everything else outside that firm's scope

Risk management: ensure appropriate controls and defensible positions across a live multistate and cross-border footprint

Consistency with local execution: maintain group standards while meeting the specific requirements of each state and jurisdiction

Scalability: establish processes that can evolve as the group adds entities, products, and markets

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

CPA preferred

5+ years of relevant tax experience, including hands-on work in both SALT and international indirect tax

Strong background in multistate nexus, apportionment, and sales and use tax

Working knowledge of cross-border tax obligations, including withholding, treaties, and information reporting

Experience with multi-entity structures, including partnerships and corporations, and the associated compliance and provision work

Demonstrated ability to build or improve tax processes rather than inherit a mature function

Proven ability to operate effectively in a lean, fast-paced, and evolving environment, including working alongside outside advisors on shared scope
