Job description

This is a hands-on leadership job to build the tax and treasury function from the ground up for a fast-growing global company. It covers tax strategy and provisions, indirect tax and transfer pricing, plus cash forecasting, banking, and foreign exchange. A strong candidate has a decade or more in tax or treasury, a CPA, and a mix of Big 4 and in-house tech experience, and can explain complex topics clearly to executives.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools can speed up routine work here, such as reconciling cash data, drafting provision workpapers, and tracking filing deadlines across many countries. The judgment calls stay human: choosing entity structures, weighing tax risk, setting treasury policy, and advising leaders on new products and partnerships. A company selling AI-generated media across many markets will raise fresh questions about where revenue is earned and how to tax it.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers a close look at how a consumer AI business handles usage-based revenue, large volumes of payments, and cross-border growth from a finance seat. Someone could build relevant experience by trying AI tools for forecasting, document review, and tax research, then setting sensible controls around them. Learning how generation costs and subscriptions flow into cash planning would also be a useful edge.

Worth showing

• ASC 740 provision leadership
• Global indirect tax and VAT
• Cash forecasting and liquidity planning
• Building finance controls from scratch
• NetSuite and finance automation
