Job description

THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it

We’re looking for an experienced indirect tax professional to join FanDuel’s Indirect Tax team. This role will report to the Tax Director (Indirect) in a hybrid role that will be based out of our New York City office. In this role, the Tax Manager (Indirect) will own sales and use tax compliance across FanDuel’s multi-state footprint while also serving as a technical resource on the legal principles that drive indirect tax outcomes — nexus, taxability of digital and gaming products, sourcing, and exemption certificate management. Our ideal candidate is someone who can help the business run a clean, on-time compliance cycle and also creatively interpret and practically apply complex state and local sales tax laws, regulations, and rulings.

THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

• Own the end-to-end sales and use tax compliance cycle across FanDuel’s multi-state footprint and assist our outside advisors with return preparation and review, filings, registrations, notices, and account reconciliations — ensuring accuracy and on-time delivery.
• Research and document the legal basis for the company’s indirect tax positions using primary authority and translate that analysis into practical guidance the business can act on.
• Monitor nexus, taxability, and sourcing developments across state and local jurisdictions, including rules specific to digital goods, information services, software, subscriptions, and gaming products, and assess the impact on filings, systems, and pricing.
• Assist the Tax Legal team with indirect tax audits, notices, and Department of Revenue inquiries.
• Drive process improvements and scalable solutions across the compliance calendar, leveraging tax engines, automation, AI, and data analytics.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Finance, Legal, Product, Tech) to ensure indirect tax is considered early in new product launches, market entries, and system changes.
• Own business controls related to indirect tax within the SOX control environment, ensuring documentation, testing, and audit readiness.
• Manage exemption certificate compliance, voluntary disclosure agreements, and refund claims, and review the work of external advisors where engaged.

THE STATS
What we’re looking for in our next teammate

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, economics, or a related field required
• 5+ years of indirect tax experience, with substantial time spent on multi-state sales and use tax compliance (industry, Big 4/national firm, or state revenue department)
• Demonstrated command of the legal principles underpinning sales and use tax — nexus, taxability and characterization, sourcing, bundling, and exemptions — and the ability to research and defend a position from primary authority rather than software output
• Proven ability to review and challenge complex analyses prepared by others, testing both the numbers and the technical support for the position taken
• Working knowledge of how indirect tax rules apply to digital goods, subscriptions, and other non-traditional offerings, or the ability to get there quickly
• Skilled in building stakeholder relationships across internal functions and with state tax authorities, auditors, and external advisors
• Data-driven mindset; experience using large transactional datasets, models, and analytics to inform indirect tax decisions
• Skilled at translating complex analyses into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders through strong visual, verbal, and written communication
• Combines strong project ownership with the ability to resolve issues hands-on when needed

What would make our next teammate an all-star:

• CPA, JD, or LLM in taxation.
• Industry experience in gaming, sports betting, technology, or digital media, particularly with multi-jurisdictional consumer offerings.
• In-house experience balancing a recurring compliance calendar against technical advisory and planning work.
• Experience with SOX controls, public company reporting, or state indirect tax audits and controversy.
• Demonstrated success leading tax engine implementations (Vertex, Avalara, or similar), process automation, or compliance technology projects.
• Skilled with advanced Excel, automation, data visualization, and SQL/analytics tools.
