Overview

symplr is a leading healthcare operations SaaS provider serving the majority of US hospitals and health systems. Our global tax function is lean, high-visibility, and directly connected to the CFO's office. We are hiring a Senior Tax Analyst, US Tax in India to serve as the operational backbone of symplr's US tax function.
