Job description

Salary: $130,000 - $160,000 + equity, relocation assistance available

Skills: Tax Manager, Indirect Tax, Multi-State Compliance, Sales and Use Tax, Tax Infrastructure Build, Individual Contributor

About the Opportunity:

My client, one of the fastest-growing multi-location consumer retail companies in the country, is looking to hire a Tax Manager focused on indirect tax. This is a hands-on, individual contributor seat, not a management role, for someone who wants to own outcomes directly rather than inherit someone else's process.

This position centers on indirect tax, with real weight on hands-on compliance work, analytical rigor, and staying ahead of risk as the business scales. You'll step into a newly created seat that doesn't come with an established playbook yet.

If ownership over process, not people, is what you're after, this is worth a conversation.

Responsibilities:

• Build a multi-state indirect tax calendar from scratch, covering every filing deadline and remittance across the footprint
• Take new states through the full path from initial research to a live, filed process
• Serve as the internal point of contact for indirect tax questions from other departments
• Review and manage the output of the outside firm handling actual filings
• Spot exposure across jurisdictions early and bring solutions, not just problems
• Work independently as an individual contributor, owning outcomes directly with no direct reports

Must-Have Skills:

• Experience as an Indirect Tax Manager or equivalent, owning indirect tax end to end
• A combination of public and private tax experience
• 5+ years of hands-on, operational tax experience
• A track record leading and managing rollout or expansion projects

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Background in inventory-based industries such as manufacturing, distribution, or retail operations
• Familiarity with integrating tax logic into transaction or revenue systems
