The Opportunity

As a Senior Tax Specialist, you'll play a pivotal role in a lean, collaborative five-person department where your contributions directly impact the organization's tax strategy and financial efficiency. This isn't a role where you'll be siloed into one narrow specialty - you'll gain exposure to federal, state, and international tax matters while working alongside colleagues across global locations.

We're in the midst of significant modernization efforts, including automation initiatives that will transform how we approach tax compliance and planning. With direct access to leadership and high visibility across the organization, you'll have the opportunity to shape processes, drive improvements, and potentially grow into a management role. If you're looking for variety, autonomy, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a collaborative environment, this is your opportunity.
