Sr Manager Tax

Location: Raleigh, NC

The Sr. Tax Manager will play a critical role in the Company’s income tax provision (ASC 740) process, U.S. federal and state income tax compliance, and international tax reporting, while supporting SOX 404 internal control requirements for a publicly traded company. This role requires a well-rounded tax professional with public accounting (Big 4) training, meaningful public-company income tax experience, and the technical depth to work independently across provision, compliance, and international tax matters in a small-cap environment where the tax department is lean and each team member owns significant scope.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical income tax, tax accounting, ASC 740, and SOX 404 internal control skills with the ability to discuss issues with tax leadership and outside advisors, communicate effectively with cross-functional and executive stakeholders, and make meaningful contributions to improve processes and controls as the Company grows and develops.
