What you need

  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or related field; CPA required
  • 5–8 years of progressive tax experience, including public company ASC 740 provision work
  • Demonstrated experience with technical, judgment-intensive tax positions in an audit-defensible, SEC-ready context
  • Strong working knowledge of federal and multi-state tax compliance requirements
  • Experience operating within a SOX control environment, including PBC response and documentation standards
  • Excellent written and analytical skills, with the ability to independently own technical positions and defend them to auditors and senior finance leadership

Nice to have

  • Direct experience with SSAP 101 and insurance premium tax compliance is a plus
  • Exposure to reinsurance structures and their tax treatment is a plus
  • Prior involvement in M&A tax diligence or structuring is a plus
  • Familiarity with AI-enabled tax or accounting tools and an interest in process automation is a plus

What you get

  • Multiple medical plans to choose from and 100% employer covered dental & vision plans for team members and their families
  • 401(k)-retirement plan
  • Short & long-term disability
  • Employer-paid life insurance
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for health and dependent care
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed for locations other than San Jose, CA and Morristown, NJ
  • Role involves significant technical and compliance responsibilities, which may be high-pressure
  • Experience in public accounting is strongly preferred, which may limit candidates without that background
