About the role
Working on a senior fund tax role with a large, well-capitalized investment platform that partners closely with founders, families, and long-term investors. This is a VP-level seat supporting a flagship strategy, with real ownership over the tax function and team.
It’s a hands‑on leadership role - you’re overseeing the compliance process end‑to‑end while also getting pulled into structuring, deal activity, and broader tax strategy. The platform is growing, so there’s a real opportunity to build and refine processes rather than just maintain them.
Responsibilities:
Oversee fund tax compliance across a complex, multi-entity structure (U.S. + international)
Manage relationships with external tax providers and review returns / K-1s
Lead taxable income forecasting and LP reporting
Partner closely with deal teams, legal, and investor relations on tax-related matters
Get involved in structuring, acquisitions, and strategic tax planning
Manage and develop a team internally
Requirements:
10+ years of experience, ideally Big 4 + fund / partnership tax exposure
Strong understanding of private equity structures and LP allocations
Experience managing teams and external advisors
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
