Senior Manager, Tax Operations

Fluidstack • San Francsisco, CA

1d • $205,000 - $279,000

About The Position

The Finance Team is looking to build and scale the tax function from scratch, across multiple international and state jurisdictions, before the company outgrows it. Entities, sites, and cross-border structures are multiplying faster than any tax playbook can keep up. The function, from income tax reporting to sales and use tax compliance on gigawatts of electricity and compute to the international structure holding it together, must be correctly built and efficiently scaled the first time around. This role will own the full range of tax disciplines at a scale most practitioners never reach. Federal, international, state and local, and equity comp all converge on one business growing faster than the guidance anticipated. Reporting and first-principles work across every discipline must be accurate and timely. This role will also put tax on the critical path for hundreds of billions in capital. The financings and JVs powering 100 GW turn on partnership allocations, basis step-ups, withholding, and incentive credits that have to close in lockstep with capital and gigawatts coming online. Deals must be structured correctly and efficiently, not cleaned up after the fact.
