Director of Indirect Tax

Jobot, dallas, tx, United States


Job Details

The Opportunity: We are seeking a high-caliber Director of Indirect Tax to join our elite commercial tax consulting practice. This is not a "compliance-heavy" in-house role; it is a strategic leadership position focused on delivering sophisticated tax solutions for a premier Fortune 100 client base.

The successful candidate will lead high-stakes engagements, specializing in Reverse Audit Defense, complex recovery projects, and multi-jurisdictional Sales and Use tax strategy. If you are a technical expert who thrives on solving "unsolvable" tax puzzles and managing elite client relationships, this is your next step.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic Client Leadership: Serve as the primary technical advisor for high-profile Fortune 100/50 client accounts, managing multi-year relationships and complex project lifecycles.
  • Audit Defense & Reverse Audits: Lead and oversee comprehensive Sales and Use tax recovery projects and manage complex audit defense engagements to mitigate exposure and maximize cash flow for clients.
  • Technical Advisory: Provide expert-level guidance on multi-jurisdictional tax complexities, including nexus studies, taxability research, and transactional planning.
  • Practice Development: Drive the growth of the Indirect Tax practice by identifying new service opportunities within existing accounts and mentoring a high-performing team of managers and seniors.
  • Legislative Oversight: Monitor and analyze emerging tax legislation (Wayfair, etc.) to proactively advise clients on potential impacts to their global operations.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 12+ years of progressive experience in Indirect Tax (Sales and Use) within a "Big 4" accounting firm or a specialized tax consulting boutique.
  • Credentials: CPA, JD, or LLM is highly preferred.
  • Technical Mastery: Deep, proven expertise in Reverse Audits, Audit Defense, and multistate Sales & Use Tax laws.
  • Relationship Management: Proven track record of managing and growing relationships with large, complex multinational corporations.
  • Leadership: Natural ability to lead engagement teams and mentor junior staff in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
