Tax Manager
This role manages corporate tax compliance, planning, and strategy across direct and indirect taxes, with particular emphasis on leveraging automation and data-driven workflows to modernize tax operations. In AI-focused companies, Tax Managers work on infrastructure-heavy businesses—including GPU cloud platforms, AI compute services, and digital products—where indirect taxes (VAT, sales tax) and complex cross-border structures create significant compliance and planning challenges. They typically sit within Finance teams, partnering closely with Accounting, FP&A, and Legal to balance aggressive growth with tax risk management, while increasingly embedding themselves in technology decisions around tax engines, data pipelines, and entity structuring for new jurisdictions.
