An overview of this role

As you navigate the corporate tax landscape, you'll become the architect of global tax strategy. Each quarter, you'll meticulously craft tax provisions, maintaining deferred balances and documenting uncertain positions with precision. The challenge? Tax regulations shift constantly, requiring you to adapt quickly while maintaining accuracy.

You'll partner with service providers on tax returns across federal, state, and local jurisdictions, ensuring every filing reflects the company's true tax position. When audits arise, you'll transform into a technical detective, researching complex issues and defending positions with authorities.

The greatest challenges come from juggling multiple high-stakes projects simultaneously in a remote environment that spans time zones. You'll need to establish clear boundaries while remaining flexible enough to meet urgent deadlines that often extend beyond standard hours.

Drawing on your Big 4 and corporate background, you'll leverage your ASC 740 expertise and analytical skills to not just complete tax work, but to provide strategic insights that impact business decisions. In this role, you don't just calculate taxes—you create financial clarity in an increasingly complex global environment.

• Technical support: Assist with technical research on various tax issues, R&D credit studies, responses to inquiries/audits from various federal and state tax authorities; GAAP/Non-GAAP/cash tax forecasting; and other ad hoc projects

What You’ll Bring 

• Combination of Big 4 accounting firm experience and multinational high-tech corporate background
• Bachelor's degree in accounting required; Master’s degree in taxation preferred
• Comprehensive knowledge of ASC 740 accounting standards and US tax technical requirements
• Exceptional organizational skills with meticulous attention to details
• Self-motivated professional capable of working effectively both independently and collaboratively
• Ability to manage multiple complex tax projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
• Flexibility to work across different geographic time zones in a fully remote setting; periodic work beyond standard business hours required to meet organizational needs

• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
• Superior analytical and problem-solving capabilities
