LevelBlue reduces risk and builds lasting resilience so organizations can innovate and advance their mission with confidence. As the world’s most analyst-recognized and largest pure-play managed security services provider, LevelBlue elevates client outcomes that matter: stronger defense, faster response, and sustained business continuity. LevelBlue combines AI-powered security operations, advanced threat intelligence, and elite human expertise to provide the most comprehensive portfolio of strategic advisory, managed security, offensive security, and incident response services.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Tax Director to help guide and grow our global tax function, with a strong emphasis on international tax, statutory reporting, and indirect tax (VAT/GST). This role will work closely with the VP of Tax and the broader tax team to manage the company's non-U.S. tax footprint — including cross-border structuring, foreign statutory filings, and VAT compliance — while building scalable processes and managing risk across jurisdictions. This is a great opportunity for a collaborative tax leader with deep international expertise who enjoys partnering across teams on both the strategic and operational sides of a growing global tax function.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the VP of Tax to shape and execute the company's international tax strategy, including transfer pricing, foreign tax credits, GILTI/Subpart F, cross-border structuring, and repatriation planning
• Work closely with local country controllers, auditors, and advisors on statutory financial statement reporting for foreign entities, helping ensure accurate and timely local GAAP/IFRS statutory filings
• Help manage global indirect tax compliance, including VAT/GST registrations, filings, and audits across international jurisdictions
• Collaborate with the VP of Tax and cross-functional partners to develop and execute international tax planning strategies that support global expansion, minimize risk, and optimize the company's overall effective tax rate
• Contribute to the quarterly and annual income tax provision process (ASC 740) with a focus on foreign entities, including reserves (FIN 48/ASC 450) and coordination with external auditors
• Help monitor changes in international and indirect tax law (e.g., BEPS Pillar Two, EU VAT reforms) and share the potential impact on the organization with leadership
• Work with the team to improve tax technology and automation, including systems such as NetSuite and Avalara, to streamline global compliance and reporting workflows
• Support tax audits and inquiries from foreign and domestic tax authorities
• Support M&A due diligence, cross-border structuring, and post-acquisition integration from a tax perspective as needed
• Mentor and collaborate with tax team members, fostering a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Accounting, Finance, Legal, and FP&A on international tax and statutory matters affecting financial reporting and business decisions
• Help maintain internal controls related to global tax processes

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required; Master's in Taxation, CPA, JD, or LLM a plus
• 10+ years of progressive tax experience, with substantial depth in international tax and global indirect tax (VAT/GST)
• Hands-on experience managing statutory financial reporting for foreign subsidiaries and coordinating with local-country auditors and advisors
• Strong technical knowledge of cross-border tax structuring, transfer pricing, and VAT/GST compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Working knowledge of U.S. federal and state income tax concepts sufficient to oversee domestic compliance handled by advisors or team members
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite and Avalara strongly preferred
• Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to explain complex international tax concepts to non-tax stakeholders across regions
• Strong project management skills and comfort operating in a remote, global, fast-paced environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with partnership taxation, including allocations, Schedule K-1s, and partnership agreements
• Experience with BEPS Pillar Two implementation and global minimum tax compliance
• Experience in a private equity-backed, SaaS, or high-growth multinational environment
• Prior experience managing or building out an international tax function from the ground up
