  • Serve as an internal tax expert across the organisation.
  • Lead federal, state, and local tax audits with confidence and accuracy.
  • Partner with external advisors, consultants, and auditors to ensure compliance and transparency.
  • Mentor, develop, and lead tax team members to drive performance and growth.
  • Identify process improvements and champion automation, efficiency, and data-driven tax operations.

  • 10+ years’ progressive experience in public accounting or corporate tax for a public company.
  • Deep expertise in ASC 740, including UTPs and financial statement disclosures.
  • Strong knowledge of federal, multi-state & international tax compliance and reporting.
  • Proven success leading complex tax projects, including M&A.
  • Exceptional research, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.
  • Collaborative leadership style with a track record of coaching and developing teams.
  • High adaptability and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and financial reporting systems.
