About The Position

The Senior Tax Product Specialist is an individual contributor role at the heart of the ONESOURCE Tax Provision product team. This position exists to bring deep, practitioner-level tax accounting expertise directly into the product development process — ensuring that ONESOURCE reflects how corporate tax professionals actually work and what they truly need. You will work closely with internal product, engineering, and data science teams as well as external customers and partners to develop, test, and validate product content, functionality, and AI-powered capabilities for the tax provision domain. Your accounting and tax background is not incidental to this role — it is the foundation. You will be the voice of the tax practitioner inside the product organization, applying real-world best practices to shape features that are accurate, intuitive, and trusted by the professionals who depend on them. This role also carries a specific mandate to advance AI initiatives within ONESOURCE Tax Provision. You will develop, test, and validate the application of generative AI and intelligent automation to corporate tax workflows — providing strategic feedback to engineering and data science teams and helping define what responsible, high-quality AI looks like in a regulated tax environment.

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or a related field is required.
CPA or CMA designation is required, or actively in progress.
Minimum 5–7 years of professional experience in corporate tax, public accounting, or a tax technology environment — with hands-on responsibility for income tax provision.
Deep, working knowledge of ASC 740 / income tax provision processes is required; this is the core domain of the role.
Experience with deferred tax computations, effective tax rate analysis, rate reconciliation, and uncertain tax positions.
Demonstrated ability to apply tax accounting best practices to assess software functionality, identify gaps, and articulate what a high-quality tax provision tool should do.
Proven experience working with or evaluating generative AI tools in a professional context, with the ability to assess accuracy, reliability, and fitness for use in high-stakes tax workflows.
Comfortable collaborating with engineering and data science teams to test AI-powered features and provide practitioner-grounded feedback — no coding required, but technical fluency is expected.
Awareness of responsible AI principles, including auditability, explainability, and appropriate use of AI in regulated accounting and tax environments.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Google Workspace.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex tax concepts into clear product guidance, customer-facing materials, and cross-functional requirements.
Experience drafting guidance documents, use case materials, or training content for professional audiences.
Proven ability to work effectively across internal teams — product, engineering, sales, and customer success — in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
