About The Role

• Manage international indirect tax and Federal Excise Tax compliance; challenge external advisors when needed
• Lead tax audits, desk reviews, and authority inquiries from start to finish
• Drive complex multi-jurisdictional research and resolve tax issues before they escalated
• Stay ahead of regulatory and tech changes — translate them into recommendations and implement independently
• Build the global indirect tax policies and internal controls that will scale with the business

What You’ll Bring

• CPA + 8+ years in a Big 4 or complex global corporate environment
• Deep expertise in Canadian indirect tax; solid knowledge of US and international frameworks
• Proven ability to navigate tax regulations where business models don't fit neatly into the rules
• SaaS, e-commerce, or fast-scaling tech experience strongly preferred
• Expert tax research skills — you turn complex regulation into clear business strategy
• Strong communicator who influences and negotiates at the executive level
• Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs) and advanced tax technology
• French is an asset
