The successful candidate will work closely with external advisors and cross-functional stakeholders across Finance, Product, Legal, Operations, and Technology to ensure compliant and scalable tax operations while supporting continued business growth.

- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Operations, Legal, and Finance teams to ensure accurate tax determination, reporting, and implementation of indirect tax requirements across business processes and systems.
- Lead and manage indirect tax audits, government reviews, tax authority inquiries, and assessments, including coordinating responses, preparing supporting documentation, and managing external advisors.
- Identify indirect tax risks and opportunities, strengthen internal controls, and drive process improvements, automation initiatives, and tax technology solutions to support scalable and compliant growth.
