Lead

About the role

  • Define and drive the strategic goals of the Onboarding and Audit & VDA teams in alignment with TaxValet’s long-term direction.
  • Develop and coach leaders across Onboarding and Audit & VDA, ensuring they have the support, tools, and training needed to lead confidently.
  • Provide strategic tax leadership by helping teams identify risk areas, ask smart questions, and make strong decisions in complex or high-stakes situations.
  • Support teams in identifying operational issues, pain points, and bottlenecks, and designing practical solutions.
  • Partner across operational teams, Tech & Innovation, and Sales & Marketing to improve handoffs, strengthen communication, and support consistent tax strategy positioning throughout the client lifecycle.

Requirements

  • Strong sales tax foundation, especially around nexus, taxability, and multi-state compliance strategy, and the ability to understand how decisions ripple into compliance outcomes over time.
  • Demonstrated ability to research and interpret state statutes and translate complexity into clear, actionable guidance for teams and clients.
  • Proven experience leading teams through complex, high-stakes work where accuracy, timeliness, and risk management matter.
  • Strong operational instincts: you can improve systems, create scalable workflows, and raise quality without burning people out.
  • Comfortable partnering cross-functionally to adopt improvements that increase efficiency and accuracy.
  • Able to use data and spreadsheets to plan capacity, forecast needs, and guide prioritization.
  • You’re drawn to leadership and coaching, not because you “have to,” but because you genuinely care about helping people grow and thrive.
  • You hold people accountable with care and clarity, because clear is kind.
  • You bring a growth mindset and know how to build that culture within your teams: curiosity, feedback, experimentation, and learning are normal here.
  • You’re calm under pressure and can lead through high-stress situations without spreading chaos. (We love a steady nervous system.)
  • You’re a strong communicator and can coach others in client and internal communication daily.
  • You’re resourceful, strategic, and comfortable navigating ambiguity; you don’t need someone to hand you step-by-step instructions to create clarity.
  • You align with (and actively live out) our core values: Feel It, Shape It, Own It, Crush It, Question It.
