? Coordinate and manage preparation and filing of federal, state, and local tax returns, working with internal resources and external advisors

? Monitor evolving tax laws and regulations and assess their impact on the business

? Develop and implement tax planning strategies that optimize efficiency

? Manage audits and inquiries from tax authorities, and maintain accurate tax records

? Partner with finance, accounting, and operations to ensure accurate, timely tax reporting

? Support M&A activity through tax due diligence

What you'll bring

? Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA preferred

? 5+ years of experience in corporate tax or a related finance role

? Experience with ERP platforms is a plus

? Strong technical knowledge of U.S. federal and state tax laws

? Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the judgment to act on them

? Comfort operating in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities
