About the role

Job Title: Tax Manager

Location: Brooklyn, NY

Salary: $120,000 - $150,000 + equity, relocation assistance available

Skills: Tax Manager, Indirect Tax, Multi-State Compliance, Sales and Use Tax, Tax Infrastructure Build, Individual Contributor

About the Opportunity: My client, a fast-growing retail brand with a strong presence across New York City and an expanding footprint overseas, is looking to hire someone to build indirect tax from the ground up. This is a rare seat for someone who wants to create something and put their name on it, not maintain what someone else already built. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role, not a people-management seat, built for someone ready to own indirect tax end to end for the first time. If you're currently a senior associate or analyst with public accounting experience and you're ready to step into that kind of ownership, even without the manager title yet, this is exactly the kind of opportunity that makes that leap possible. The company is growing fast, and leadership wants someone hungry, curious, and ready to build process where none exists yet. Seats like this don't come around often.

Responsibilities:

Build a multi-state indirect tax calendar from scratch, covering every filing deadline and remittance across the footprint
Take new states through the full path from initial research to a live, filed process
Serve as the internal point of contact for indirect tax questions from other departments
Review and manage the output of the outside firm handling actual filings
Spot exposure across jurisdictions early and bring solutions, not just problems
Work independently as an individual contributor, owning outcomes directly with no direct reports
Must-Have Skills:
Public accounting background, ideally with some private or industry exposure, ready to make indirect tax fully your own
Comfortable building process from scratch rather than executing on something already established
Multi-state indirect tax exposure, including experience gained primarily within a firm setting
Naturally driven, someone who wants more ownership and is ready to grow into managing a function
Nice-to-Have Skills:
Background in inventory-based industries such as manufacturing, distribution, or retail operations
Comfortable working cross-functionally with product or operations teams on how tax rules get applied to new offeringsCPA, EA, or equivalent certification

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.
