About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Tax to lead tax strategy, planning, compliance, reporting, and audit defense across a complex, multi-entity organization. The role includes overseeing tax provisions and financial statement disclosures, advising on acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, and entity optimization, and serving as the primary liaison with tax authorities, auditors, and external advisors. The successful candidate will build and develop a high-performing tax team while strengthening processes, systems, and controls. They will also partner with finance, accounting, legal, and executive leaders to inform strategic decisions and communicate with senior leadership and board-level stakeholders. Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in accounting or taxation; a master’s degree in taxation or a law degree is preferred, and a CPA is an advantage. At least 10 years of progressive tax leadership experience, including management of a corporate tax function, is required. Deep expertise in corporate taxation, tax planning, and reporting is expected, along with experience in ASC 740, multi-entity structures, mergers and acquisitions, and tax-exempt organizations. Backgrounds in trust, fiduciary, fund, or asset management taxation are also relevant, as are strong executive communication skills.
