Tax Senior

Overview: 

Guidepoint is seeking an experienced Tax Senior to own the day-to-day management of the company’s global tax function across a complex, multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction structure (US, Canada, UK, Greece, Dubai, and multiple APAC entities). As an expert-network business with significant intercompany activity and international operations, our tax obligations, transfer pricing, R&D/innovation credits, sales & use tax, VAT/GST, and international tax, have grown to require a dedicated owner.

The Tax Senior will manage tax positions, compliance, and planning. Support finance leadership on the tax implications of business decisions operating with a high degree of independence under the direction of the Controller.

This is a hybrid position out of our New York City office.

  • Lead sales tax recovery/refund initiatives in partnership with IT and internal teams, and serve as a key resource on sales/use tax treatment for internal departments.
  • Own the tax credit program — engagement letters, ESD information requests, and performance-year reporting review.

Transfer Pricing & International Tax

• • Manage the transfer pricing framework — coordinate the external advisor, ensure intercompany policies align with operational realities, and review documentation.
  • Coordinate tax-authority and auditor responses on transfer pricing and other inquiries.

Advisor & Stakeholder Management

• • Coordinate all third-party tax advisors, ensuring quality, timeliness, and cost control.
  • Serve as a primary internal contact for tax inquiries.
