High-Performance Environment. We move with urgency, set ambitious goals, and expect excellence. You'll be trusted with real ownership and supported to do the best work of your career.

Growth That Matters. You can count on authentic feedback, strong accountability, and leaders invested in your success so you can achieve real growth.
Rewards for Results. We provide clear, competitive compensation designed to recognize measurable outcomes and real impact.
What you'll do:
Own NAVEX's global tax function, including U.S. federal, state, and local income tax, international direct tax, and indirect tax compliance across a growing multinational footprint
Lead tax strategy to optimize NAVEX's tax structure, manage the effective tax rate, support transactions, and position the company for continued PE-backed growth and future liquidity events
Oversee the ASC 740 tax provision process, ensuring accurate, supportable tax accounting and financial reporting
Manage relationships with external tax advisors, auditors, and tax authorities to deliver high-quality compliance, planning, and risk management

Lead international tax matters, including transfer pricing, withholding tax, Pillar Two readiness, and global tax planning as non-U.S. operations expand
Monitor and assess tax law and regulatory developments, translating complex changes into practical business guidance
Lead tax risk management activities, audits, examinations, and tax controversy matters

Experience leading, mentoring and developing tax professionals
Strong knowledge of ASC 740, corporate tax compliance, tax provision processes, and tax planning strategies
Experience supporting multinational organizations with operations across multiple jurisdictions
Meaningful exposure to indirect tax (sales and use tax, VAT/GST, and property tax) sufficient to own the compliance function directly, direct external resources with confidence, and develop a junior team member into a capable specialist over time
High ownership orientation - you identify issues before they surface, come with recommendations rather than questions, and are comfortable operating with significant autonomy in a lean, high-trust finance organization
Demonstrated success partnering cross-functionally and influencing stakeholders at all levels of the organization
Strong business acumen with the ability to balance technical excellence, risk management, and commercial objectives
Exceptional communication skills with the ability to simplify complex concepts and build trusted relationships
