At NAVEX, we're transforming the world-making it safer, more ethical, and ensuring every voice is heard. That's real impact.

Our high-performance culture is driven by our values. We move with speed, passion and purpose - as one team. We are bold in our ideas, accountable in our actions, and committed to doing the right things right.

At NAVEX, we're looking for a strategic and collaborative tax leader who thrives in a dynamic, global environment. As our Senior Manager, Tax, you'll play a critical role in shaping and executing NAVEX's tax strategy, ensuring compliance, managing risk, and helping the business navigate growth opportunities across the U.S. and international markets. You'll partner with leaders across Finance, Accounting, Legal, and business operations to influence decisions, drive value, and position the organization for long-term success.

You'll thrive in this hybrid role surrounded by an engaged, collaborative team deeply committed to your success. Join us and help shape what's next!

What you'll get:

• Meaningful Purpose. Your work helps organizations operate with integrity and protect their people-at a scale few companies can match.
• 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.
• Candid, Supportive Culture. We communicate openly, challenge ideas-not people-and value teammates who embrace bold thinking and continuous improvement.
• 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
• Partner with executive leadership on strategic initiatives, international expansion, legal entity design, cross-border transactions, and other tax-sensitive business decisions
• 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
• Scale and modernize the tax function through process improvements, strong controls, technology enablement, and effective cross-functional leadership
• Provide strategic oversight of indirect tax matters, including sales and use tax, VAT, and GST
• Serve as a trusted advisor to the CFO, CEO, and Board, communicating complex tax issues with clarity and business focus

What you'll bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or a related field
• CPA or MST preferred; equivalent experience considered
• 7+ years of progressive tax experience, including significant responsibility for U.S. corporate income tax and international tax 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
• Culture Agility. Comfort working in a fast-paced, candid environment that values innovation, healthy debate, and follow-through
• AI Readiness. Curiosity and willingness to use AI and emerging technologies to elevate your work and deliver smarter outcomes
• Fuel performance and outcomes. Leverage your job competencies and champion NAVEX's core values

Our side of the deal:

• We'll be clear, we'll move fast, and we'll invest in your success. You deserve to be supported, challenged, and rewarded for the impact you make-and we commit to doing that every step of the way.
