Job Description

We are seeking a dynamic, self‑starter, and highly experienced tax leader to join our results‑driven organization and collaborative finance team. Based in our Memphis office, the Senior Manager of US Tax will oversee all US federal and state income tax compliance, tax provision accounting, and indirect tax activities-including franchise, property, and sales & use taxes.

This role leads a team of six US tax professionals, with one group focused on income tax and the other on indirect tax. The role is responsible for fostering a high‑performance, growth‑oriented team environment through coaching, mentoring, and talent development. The role also partners closely with the Canadian tax team in Vancouver, British Columbia, which is led by the Senior Manager of Canadian Tax.

The company is a Canadian public company listed on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges, with operations in Canada, the US, the UK and Belgium. We are subject to BEAT, Pillar II, country-by-country reporting, and transfer pricing rules, and we operate in a SOX control environment.

This role offers exposure to a broad range of complex and challenging tax initiatives, including process improvement, acquisitions and integrations, indirect tax matters, strategic tax planning, capital and R&D incentives, cross‑border compliance, and tax risk management. The tax team partners with all business functions to create value and deliver corporate savings across the organization, operating under a mandate that extends well beyond tax compliance. The Company's active acquisition strategy provides ongoing opportunities for strategic tax planning to support current and future business objectives.

You'll Do:

  • Oversight of the US corporate income tax function, including:

  • Monthly, quarterly, and annual income tax provisions and related account reconciliations

  • Corporate tax returns

  • R&D and other tax credits claims

  • Planning, Analysis & Reporting

  • Support valuation, forecasting, and financial models

  • Contribute to tax-related financial statements and MD&A disclosures

  • Assist with capital-related tax incentive evaluations, applications and other support

  • Identify tax planning opportunities and collaborate cross‑functionally to develop and implement tax strategies related to reorganizations, acquisitions, integrations, and wind‑ups

  • Research and summarize the impact of new or proposed tax legislation for leadership

  • Leadership, Controls & Collaboration

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high‑performing US tax team through training, coaching, and talent development

  • Maintain strong SOX internal controls and documentation

  • Collaborate with US, Canada, UK and Belgian teams on cross-border and income tax activities

  • Manage third‑party advisors across compliance, advisory, and transactional engagements

  • Drive continuous improvement by leveraging technology to automate and streamline tax processes

  • Support internal tax audits to identify non‑compliance issues and tax optimization opportunities. Provide training to the relevant parties and ensure training documentation is updated.

  • Work closely with controllers and operations to facilitate and support 3rd party service providers in the preparation of US research and development and other tax incentive claims

  • Occasional travel to production facilities and corporate offices may be required

You'll Have:

  • CPA professional designation is required
  • Master of Tax Program (Golden Gate University or equivalent) would be an asset
  • Minimum eight years of corporate income tax experience, including experience in an industry role. Candidates with exclusively public practice experience will be considered if their focus was on corporate income tax returns and provisions
  • Oversight of indirect taxes, tax credits and incentives is an asset
  • Established managerial and employee development experience
  • Strong proficiency in researching and interpreting tax codes, guidelines and regulations
