Head of Tax, Americas
We are partnering with a global, high-growth organization to identify a Head of Tax to lead tax strategy, operations, and transformation across the region.

- Develop and mentor existing team members while shaping the future team structure
What We’re Looking For
- 10+ years of progressive tax experience with strong U.S. federal and multi-state tax expertise
- Deep experience with ASC 740 / tax provision
- Exposure to international tax concepts (e.g., BEAT, FDII, transfer pricing)
- Proven ability to improve processes, automate, or bring work in-house
- Experience operating within a corporate/in-house environment (Big 4 + industry is ideal)
- Strong leadership skills with a hands-on, build-oriented mindset
- Ability to influence and communicate effectively with non-tax stakeholders
Why This Role
- Newly created position with high visibility and real ownership
- Opportunity to build and modernize a tax function from the ground up
- Significant exposure to senior leadership and global stakeholders
- Broad regional scope across U.S. and Latin America
Location & Flexibility

- Fully remote flexibility available for the right candidate
- Full relocation package offered if preferred
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base + bonus
- Strong health and retirement benefits
- Additional perks and global mobility opportunities
If you’re interested in a role where you can shape strategy, build processes, and operate as a true business partner, this is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership seat.
