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.

In this role, you don't just calculate taxes—you create financial clarity in an increasingly complex global environment.
