Tax Director

We are looking for an experienced Tax Director to join a Contract engagement based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This role will focus on accelerating multi-state sales and use tax compliance activities, with an emphasis on resolving outstanding registration and filing matters tied to entity changes and recent organizational needs. The ideal candidate can quickly assess open obligations, address issues delaying progress, and drive work to completion while reducing compliance exposure.

Responsibilities:
• Lead a multi-state indirect tax catch-up effort by evaluating open sales and use tax obligations and establishing a practical plan to bring compliance activities up to date.
• Prepare, review, and submit sales and use tax returns for two legal entities across a broad range of jurisdictions, ensuring filings are complete and accurate.
• Analyze outstanding requirements, confirm missed and upcoming deadlines, and sequence work according to business impact and regulatory risk.
• Investigate stalled registration matters, correct entity-related inconsistencies, and coordinate follow-up actions with state agencies to move applications forward.
• Resolve filing discrepancies, agency notices, and related compliance issues uncovered during the remediation process.
• Maintain organized reporting on return status, registration progress, pending items, and critical due dates so stakeholders have clear visibility into priorities.
• Collaborate with internal accounting and tax contacts to collect supporting data, validate information, and secure documentation needed for filings and registrations.
• Provide support for sales tax registration activities for newly added entities in jurisdictions where indirect tax registration is required.
• Apply sound judgment to navigate more complex registration scenarios associated with legal entity changes and post-acquisition requirements.
