Job description

A high-growth, multi-location organization is seeking a Director of Corporate Tax to build and lead its internal corporate tax capability.

This is a newly created leadership role for an experienced tax professional who can bring greater tax expertise and ownership in-house while continuing to effectively manage outside tax advisors.

A major near-term priority will be establishing a scalable ASC 740 tax provision process and strengthening the tax infrastructure required to support a larger, increasingly sophisticated organization and future public-company reporting requirements.

The ideal candidate will combine strong technical tax expertise with the ability and willingness to operate hands-on in an environment where processes, systems, and capabilities are still being developed.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop the company’s internal corporate tax function.
• Own the quarterly and annual ASC 740 income tax provision process.
• Establish appropriate tax processes, controls, documentation, and supporting schedules.
• Develop tax reporting and disclosure capabilities consistent with future public-company requirements.
• Evaluate and implement tax provision technology and related systems.
• Manage relationships and deliverables with external tax advisors.
• Determine which tax activities should ultimately be handled internally versus outsourced.
• Oversee federal income tax compliance and related reporting.
• Provide oversight of multi-state income tax and other state and local tax matters.
• Coordinate tax calendars, information requests, and compliance requirements across the organization.
• Partner with Accounting, Finance, Legal, and other functions on the tax implications of significant transactions and business initiatives.
• Support tax considerations related to acquisitions, organizational growth, and expansion.
• Develop scalable tax policies, procedures, controls, and documentation.

Candidate Profile

• Significant corporate income tax experience with particular depth in ASC 740, tax accounting, and tax provision preparation.
• Strong understanding of financial statement tax disclosures and public-company reporting requirements.
• Experience with a public company, SEC registrant, or clients operating in public-company environments strongly preferred.
• Experience with multi-state income taxation and broader state and local tax matters.
• Experience evaluating, implementing, or utilizing tax provision software is highly desirable.
• Combination of public accounting and corporate tax experience is preferred.
• Candidates currently in public accounting will also be considered if they bring significant ASC 740, provision, and public-company experience.
• CPA and/or Master’s degree in Taxation preferred.
• Ability to manage external advisors while developing greater internal capabilities.
• Strong project-management and communication skills.
• Comfortable working in a hands-on, build-oriented environment.

Why This Role

This is an opportunity for a strong tax professional to take broad ownership, build infrastructure from the ground up, and become a key advisor to senior finance leadership.
