• Oversee Big Four firms and specialist advisers, challenging their work and driving quality, accountability and execution
• Advise on partnership allocations, withholding, ECI, UBTI, OID, market discount and debt-versus-equity considerations
• Build scalable tax processes and technology, improving data quality, automating workflows and reducing manual intervention
• Contribute to carried interest, incentive and broader structuring initiatives as the platform develops
• Mentor junior team members and help shape the future tax organization

Who this suits

• CPA with 8+ years of U.S. tax experience
• Significant private credit, private equity or alternative investment fund expertise
• Strong knowledge of partnership and corporate fund structures
• Experience spanning both fund compliance and transaction-related tax matters
• Track record of managing Big Four firms, external counsel and other advisers
• Commercially minded and confident working with investment teams and senior stakeholders
• Someone who enjoys building infrastructure, solving complex problems and creating processes that scale

This is an opportunity to establish the tax capability around one of the most significant new private credit builds in the market. The successful candidate will have considerable visibility, broad ownership and the resources of a world-class investment platform behind them.
