This role will partner closely with Finance, Accounting, Legal, and external service providers to ensure compliance, manage risk, and support business growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support audits by state and local tax authorities and manage responses, settlements, and documentation

  • Monitor and interpret changes in U.S. indirect tax laws and assess impact on the business

International VAT / GST

  • Oversee foreign VAT/GST compliance in multiple jurisdictions (including EMEA and other regions, as applicable)

  • Coordinate with external advisors on VAT registrations, returns, audits, and advisory matters

  • Review VAT positions related to cross-border transactions, intercompany arrangements, and digital services

  • Support VAT considerations in acquisitions, integrations, and business expansions

Process, Systems & Controls

  • Partner with Accounting and IT on indirect tax processes within ERP and billing systems

  • Drive process improvements, automation, and scalability of indirect tax compliance

  • Support internal controls, SOX requirements, and documentation related to indirect taxes

Cross-Functional Support

  • Collaborate with Accounting on monthly/quarterly close matters related to indirect taxes

  • Support Legal and Procurement on contract review and indirect tax considerations

  • Provide clear, practical guidance to non-tax stakeholders across the organization

Qualifications:

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, or a related field

  • 5–10+ years of relevant indirect tax experience (level dependent)

  • Strong hands-on experience with U.S. sales and use tax

  • Working knowledge of VAT/GST compliance in multiple foreign jurisdictions

  • Experience managing indirect tax audits and interacting with tax authorities

  • Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, growing environment

Preferred

  • CPA, JD, or MST

  • Experience in technology, SaaS, or digital services businesses

  • Experience working with third-party compliance providers and tax engines

  • Prior exposure to M&A, integrations, or international expansion

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong technical foundation with a practical, business-oriented mindset

  • Comfortable owning processes and building structure where needed

  • Clear communicator who can translate complex tax rules into actionable guidance

  • Organized, detail-oriented, and proactive in identifying and managing risk
