About The Position

FalconX is looking for a technically rigorous and operationally minded Senior Manager, Tax Operations to join our Finance team. In this role, you will serve as the leader of the tax operations function, taking full ownership of Global Tax Provision (ASC 740) and Tax Compliance. While this role requires a passion for the crypto and Web3 ecosystem, our priority is finding a candidate with deep technical expertise in tax accounting and who is enthusiastic about the intersection of technology and finance. You will act as a key leader within Finance ensuring that our financial reporting is accurate, our compliance is seamless across all jurisdictions (Federal, State, International), and our tax operations are scalable. You are not just a reviewer; you are a builder who takes a hands-on approach to complex data and documentation.

Requirements

10+ years of relevant tax experience.
A background in a Big 4 accounting firm is highly preferred, ideally combined with in-house experience at a multinational corporation.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA and/or MST is strongly preferred.
Deep subject matter expertise in ASC 740 (Tax Provision) and US GAAP is non-negotiable. You must be comfortable navigating complex tax accounting issues without supervision.
Demonstrated success in "Tax Operations" - you know how to build calendars, manage workflows, and utilize technology to reduce manual errors.
Excellent written communication skills, specifically the ability to translate complex tax accounting concepts into clear updates for non-tax stakeholders.
A genuine personal passion for Web3, blockchain, and the digital asset space is essential.

Nice To Haves

You love the "nuts and bolts" of tax accounting and take pride in a perfectly tied-out workpaper.
You function best as a "counterpart" to leadership - you handle the technical execution so the team can move fast.
You are hands-on: You don't just delegate to vendors; you dig into the details to ensure the work is right.
You thrive in high-growth environments where you must build processes from scratch rather than just inherit them.

Responsibilities

Own the Provision: Manage the preparation and review of the global quarterly and annual income tax provision in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly FAS 109).
Prepare tax footnote disclosures and detailed internal tax technical memoranda to support tax positions and financial statement reporting.
Calculate effective tax rates (ETR), manage deferred tax asset/liability (DTA/DTL) schedules, and analyze uncertain tax positions (FIN 48).
Manage the end-to-end compliance process for US (Federal/State) and International income tax returns, managing external vendors and advisors to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
Design and implement "Tax Ops" best practices; improve data collection workflows between Accounting and Tax to streamline the compliance lifecycle.
Oversee the calendar and compliance for direct and indirect taxes (VAT/GST/Sales Tax) across global entities.
Manage the calculation and timely remittance of estimated tax payments and extensions globally.
Partner closely with FP&A and the Accounting team to ensure financial data is structured correctly for tax consumption.
Assist senior leadership with the tax operational impacts of M&A, entity restructuring, or new product launches.
