Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with finance, legal, operations, and external advisors to integrate tax considerations into business decisions. Translate complex tax concepts into clear, actionable guidance for leadership and cross-functional teams. Indirect & International Tax Oversee and optimize indirect taxes (sales/use, property tax), international tax considerations, and asset ownership structures. Leadership & Team Building Build and lead the internal tax function from the ground up — this role is the tax department. Mentor and develop future tax professionals as the team grows. PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or related field required.

Deep knowledge of federal, state, and international tax regulations. Strong understanding of tax implications manufacturing, including inventory, COGS and revenue recognition. Exceptional analytical, organizational, and communication skills. Strategic thinker with strong business acumen and the ability to manage multiple priorities. Proficiency with tax reporting tools.
