Job description

Cash flow does not forecast itself, which is why Universal Studios is adding a Tax Manager to the Springfield team. For someone with 6 years and a tinker-friendly edge, this Tax Manager job offers $116,000 - $173,000 and real upward mobility.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the tax provision and the footnotes that explain it
• Own the accounts-payable cycle from invoice intake through final disbursement
• Own the manager sign-off on journal entries above the threshold
• Monitor key finance metrics and report on performance to leadership
• Where most manager roles stop at reporting, this one digs into the why
• Assist with quarterly investor reporting and quietly-relentless financial narratives

What You'll Bring

• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
• A Springfield network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
• Calm under the documentation-first chaos a manager role tends to generate
• Proven leadership experience guiding manager-level initiatives

Universal Studios grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Springfield room into the finance partner much of OR now trusts. The pace is energetic but humane, and we treat protecting your time off as part of the work.

We set the base at $116,000 - $173,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.

Right now, today, this seat at Universal Studios is genuinely empty and waiting.
