About this Role:

We are seeking a highly experienced and strategic tax professional to lead the company’s global tax efforts. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in U.S. and international tax matters, preferably with experience in a public accounting firm or a large multinational engineering or professional services organization. The Global Tax Manager will play a key role in supporting the company’s highly acquisitive growth strategy, managing compliance, and optimizing the firm’s tax position across all jurisdictions.

  • Cash Repatriation, Withholding, and Cross-Border Transactions: Advise on tax-efficient cash repatriation strategies and withholding tax matters; monitor regulatory changes and recommend optimal structures for cross-border flows.
  • Sales & Indirect Taxes: Oversee sales/use tax compliance in the US and similar indirect tax registrations and filings as new jurisdictions come online. Partner with operations to ensure proper tax treatment of services and transactions.
  • Tax Due Diligence & Post-Acquisition Implementation: Support external tax advisors during due diligence for acquisitions by providing information and resources; assist in evaluating findings and communicating risks; help implement tax-efficient structures and strategies post-closing to ensure compliance and optimize tax outcomes.
  • Collaboration & Advisory:  Coordinate with Legal, Finance, and external advisors for global structuring and compliance.
  • Project & Process Management: Drive process improvements for tax reporting, compliance, and planning. Develop and enhance internal controls, policies, and procedures to support ongoing expansion.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Present findings and recommendations to executive leadership; clearly communicate technical tax issues to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Research & Analysis: Monitor evolving tax legislation, assess potential impacts on the business, and implement planning strategies proactively as the company expands into new jurisdictions.

Qualifications:

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA or Master’s in Taxation preferred.
  • Experience:
    • 8+ years of progressive tax experience, preferably with a mix of public accounting and multinational corporate advisory (Big 4 or international professional services/engineering/construction firms highly preferred).
    • Expertise in US federal, state, and international corporate tax compliance—including experience in Latin America, Central America, the Middle East, India, and/or the UK.
    • Strong understanding of transfer pricing, cash repatriation, and international tax structuring.
    • Experience managing sales/use and indirect tax compliance.
    • Demonstrated success in supporting tax due diligence and integration for acquisitions.
  • Skills:
    • Excellent project management, communication, and analytical skills.
    • Proven ability to build relationships and collaborate cross-functionally, including with legal and external advisors.
    • High attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, acquisitive environment.
  • Preferred:
    • Prior experience in global engineering, construction, or similar project-driven organizations.
    • Proficiency in tax technology and ERP systems (preference for candidates with experience in Deltek Vantagepoint).
    • Experience with rapid-growth and highly acquisitive companies.
    • Strong business acumen and a proactive, adaptable approach.

What's In It For You:
