** Clarios is looking for a Tax Manager to become a key member of its Domestic Tax team. Reporting directly to the Domestic Senior Tax Manager, the role will collaborate on all aspects of Domestic Tax, including but not limited to the U.S. federal and state income tax compliance, quarterly tax provision support, state income tax planning, and tax controversy matters.

The role requires strong technical tax competence in U.S. federal and state income taxation and will serve as a key technical resource across the Domestic Tax function. This position will support the Clarios Global Tax Reporting team as part of the quarterly US tax provision process, coordinate with the US Finance team, offshore business center team based in Bratislava, and Clarios Treasury team.

The role will also work closely with external tax service providers to facilitate the efficient and timely completion of federal and state income tax filings, while improving the processes, controls, documentation, and automation supporting those filings. The role requires a high level of technical proficiency of tax compliance and tax accounting in a multinational environment with U.S. federal, state, and international tax exposure.

The successful candidate must be comfortable applying federal and multi-state income tax concepts to compliance, provision, planning, tax controversy, and business expansion matters. The role demands developing leadership qualities, strong interpersonal skills, a robust desire to get things done, challenge the status quo, and drive improvements. Domestic Tax is an ambitious team, and we want you to be ambitious too!

At the heart of the role will be responsibility for U.S. federal and state income tax matters, with a focus on the end-to-end income tax compliance process and its integration with the quarterly tax provision process. A deep multi-state income tax competence will be important to success in the role. With high volume state data, prior involvement in tax automation and transformation efforts is also ideal.

This role will be a key person responsible for state income tax matters supporting business expansion, nexus and apportionment considerations, state audit defense, notices, refund claims, and other tax controversy matters.#
