Tax Manager

Founding role — build and lead the firm’s first dedicated in‑house tax function
Successful Silicon Valley VC | ~$10B AUM | Early‑Stage Technology Investments

A leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm focused on early‑stage technology investments is creating a brand‑new Tax Manager role. This position will carve out the tax responsibilities currently held by the Controller and will take ownership of overseeing and working closely with the firm's Big 4 outsourced tax provider.

The role is largely tax‑focused, with opportunity to get involved in fund reporting and higher‑level accounting projects during lighter periods — a great fit for someone who wants to own a tax function from day one while staying close to the broader finance team.
