Indirect Tax Senior

Our client is looking for a proactive Indirect Tax professional who doesn’t just file returns — you improve processes, solve problems, and help the business stay ahead of compliance risk. This is a hands‑on role for someone who thrives in a fast‑moving environment and wants real ownership over multi‑state indirect tax operations.

• Drive end-to-end preparation and filing of multi‑state sales & use, excise, fuel, and property tax returns with accuracy and speed
• Reconcile indirect tax accounts to the general ledger, quickly identify issues, and resolve discrepancies before they become problems
• Manage and audit exemption certificates to protect the company from exposure and ensure audit-ready compliance
• Stay ahead of changing tax laws, rate updates, and filing requirements — and implement process updates proactively
• Research complex tax questions and translate technical rules into practical business guidance
• Lead responses to tax notices and audits, coordinating documentation and communication with auditors and internal teams
• Support excise tax reporting and ensure complete, accurate, and timely submissions
• Strengthen and optimize tax technology platforms (Avalara, Vertex, Sovos, or similar) to improve automation and reporting accuracy
• Partner directly with finance, legal, and commercial teams to ensure correct tax treatment in contracts, pricing structures, and transactions
• Contribute to ERP tax setup, automation initiatives, and tax support for acquisitions or strategic projects

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred
• 3+ years of indirect tax experience, ideally supporting multi‑state operations
• Strong working knowledge of sales & use tax plus exposure to excise, fuel, or property taxes
• Experience with tax automation platforms (Vertex strongly preferred)
• Familiarity with ERP systems such as Net Suite, Sage, or Microsoft Dynamics
• Strong Excel and data skills with the ability to analyze large datasets confidently
