About The Position

The Tax Technology Analyst will help modernize and support the tools, data, and processes used by the AFG Tax Division. This role blends a Tax Analyst position with hands-on work in data preparation, reporting, workflow automation, and continuous process improvement to enable accurate, efficient, and well-controlled tax compliance and planning. Specific areas of opportunity will be tailored based on experience and interest, including tax technology initiatives, reporting and analytics, and support for federal tax processes. This role is ideal for CPAs currently in public accounting who are looking to transition into a strategic in-house tax role with exposure beyond compliance and offers a more predictable work schedule, or for a recent graduate seeking their first role in tax. Great American’s culture is built on connection, shared learning, and strong relationships. To support this, employees in this role are expected to be on-site four days a week, with the flexibility to work one day remotely. Core in‑office days are Tuesday–Thursday, with the fourth day determined by business needs.
