The ideal candidate will possess strong technical knowledge of both U.S. and Canadian tax, sound judgment in navigating cross‑border and transfer pricing issues, and the ability to translate complex tax topics into clear guidance for internal stakeholders.

• Coordinate with external tax advisors and auditors to ensure compliance and alignment with best practices.
• Collaborate with country subsidiaries on accurate tax reporting and compliance.
• Support implementation of tax technology or automation solutions where applicable.
• Other duties as required.

Your Past Missions

• Bachelors degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or related field.
• CPA designation (U.S. or Canada) is required.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in U.S. and Canadian corporate tax.
• Hands-on experience with transfer pricing, cross-border structuring, and indirect taxes.
• Prior experience with SR&ED claims is an asset.

Your Toolkit

• Strong analytical, organizational, and project management skills.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain tax issues to non‑tax stakeholders.
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Your Compensation

Base Salary Range: $120,000-$150,000 CAD annually.

The range of $120,000-$150,000 annually depends on job-related skills, experience, training, education, location and business needs. The range is based on BC-derived compensation for this role. It is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role. Only in rare and exceptional circumstances, when a candidate has the experience, skills, and expertise to exceed those required for the position, would we consider paying at the top of the range for this role.

We have a shared passion for building production‑critical systems that generate near real-time views of Earth from satellites that power real‑world applications like disaster mitigation, environmental monitoring and crop yield improvements.
