• Prepare detailed tax footnotes and financial disclosures—tie-outs included.
• Oversee third-party service providers in preparing U.S. tax returns, including reconciliations and roll-forwards.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors on tax matters—manage timelines, scope, and closeouts.
• Analyze the tax implications of new legislation and global transactions.
• Collaborate with global planning and transfer pricing teams to optimize tax outcomes, cash flow, and financial reporting.
• Maintain a responsive, technically strong tax function that supports strategic business decisions.
• Support team development and pursue learning opportunities in international tax, planning, and transfer pricing.

What You Bring to the Table

• Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance; CPA required. MBA, MST, or LLM with a tax emphasis strongly preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in a global public company tax team and/or Big 4 or similar public accounting firm.
• Proven expertise in U.S. and international tax reporting in a complex, multinational environment.
• Deep understanding of ASC 740, tax risk assessment, and process improvement.
• Analytical and detail-oriented with strong strategic thinking and prioritization skills.
• Experienced in preparing polished, insight-driven reporting and dashboards.
• Ability to collaborate across global time zones—communication and flexibility are key.
• Comfortable managing complex, multi-region tax issues and corporate structures.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong command of tax/accounting systems and modeling tools.
• Adept at navigating matrixed organizations and leading cross-functional initiatives.
• Calm under pressure, results-oriented, and highly organized.
• Excellent communicator with leadership presence and the ability to influence at all levels.
• Solution-driven mindset with a proactive approach to elevating issues and driving change.
