Job description

S+H Search is hiring for a hybrid Tax Director with our complex, multi-entity technology company in Plano.

The Tax Director will step into a rapidly growing organization backed by private capital, with a number of affiliated entities and operating businesses across financial services. The Finance team is scaling its infrastructure to support continued growth across a multistate and expanding international footprint, and this role will play a key part in that build-out.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Direct state and local tax (SALT) matters for the corporate group, covering nexus analysis, apportionment methodology, franchise tax filings, and sales/use tax compliance. An outside firm handles federal and state income tax return preparation; this role is responsible for sales tax and gross receipts tax filings, which fall outside that firm's scope.
• Drive remediation of historical nexus exposure through voluntary disclosure agreements and establish monitoring so future exposure is caught early rather than discovered after the fact.
• Handle indirect tax obligations outside the U.S., including gross receipts/VAT filings, treaty analysis, and related information reporting.
• Review income tax provisions, quarterly estimates, and forecasts across the entity group, coordinating with the outside preparer on return execution and confirming accuracy and filing deadlines are met.
• Run 1099 reporting for the organization — contractor and vendor information returns, form issuance, and administration of the reporting platform in use.
• Work with finance leadership on transfer pricing methodology and intercompany documentation as the corporate structure evolves.
• Manage tax notices and audits across jurisdictions from initial receipt through close-out.
• Work with legal and senior leadership on the tax dimensions of business decisions, treasury/cash planning, and regulatory obligations.
• Track legislative and regulatory developments in relevant state and international jurisdictions and evaluate their impact on the business.
• Advise on the tax implications of new entities, new products, and expansion into additional states or countries, including modeling structural alternatives.
• Report tax exposures, positions, and their business implications to senior leadership.

REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's in Accounting; CPA
• Large public accounting foundation (Big 4 preferred)
• 1-2 years as a Manager
• Strong SALT & International Tax experience
• Working knowledge of international indirect tax, including GRT/VAT, withholding, treaties, information reporting, and multi-entity structures
• Experience in a complex, multi-entity organization
