About this role

Chowbus is seeking a Tax Manager to oversee a comprehensive tax portfolio that includes U.S. state and local tax (SALT), income tax provision, foreign jurisdiction setup, transfer pricing, and tax planning for China operations. This role requires building processes and infrastructure rather than maintaining existing systems, and it involves significant autonomy within a lean finance team. The position is hybrid, based in Chicago, allowing close collaboration with the business.

Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Chowbus as an employer.

What you need

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • Strong hands-on experience with U.S. SALT
  • Strong experience in either income tax or international/cross-border tax
  • Working knowledge of ASC 740 income tax accounting
  • Comfortable operating with significant autonomy in a lean finance team, building process rather than inheriting it
  • Strong communicator, able to work directly with external auditors, local country advisors, and cross-functional business partners

Nice to have

  • CPA or equivalent
  • Direct exposure to transfer pricing concepts and documentation; OECD/BEPS familiarity
  • Experience with China tax matters (CIT, VAT, withholding tax), or demonstrated ability to build that expertise quickly in partnership with local advisors
  • Mandarin proficiency

What you get

  • A fair compensation package
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • 100% employer-paid Short-Term Disability (STD)
  • 100% employer-paid Life Insurance and option for additional employee-paid Life Insurance
  • 100% employer-paid Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance and option for additional employee-paid AD&D Insurance

Worth weighing

  • The role involves building processes from scratch, which may require a high level of initiative and adaptability.
  • The position requires significant autonomy, which may not suit everyone depending on their work style.
  • No specific mention of team size or structure, which may impact collaboration and support.
  • Mandarin proficiency is preferred but not mandatory, which could affect communication with local advisors in China.
