Tax Technology & Innovation Manager

Turo•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Turo's Finance Transformation team is a small, high-impact group sitting at the center of how Turo's finance organization evolves. We own the systems, processes, and data infrastructure that power Tax, Accounting, FP&A, and beyond — and we're building the automation and AI capabilities that will define how finance operates at scale. We think like operators and builders — moving fast, partnering closely with Engineering and Product, and solving problems that don't always have a playbook. This role will be mainly dedicated to tax technology operations and system integrations, reporting to the Senior Manager of Finance Transformation. You'll own the technical infrastructure and day-to-day reliability of Turo's indirect tax systems, working with finance, engineering, and product teams to ensure accuracy and scalability as the business grows.

Requirements

8-10+ years of experience in tax technology, tax operations, or a related field — ideally with exposure to system implementations or ERP/tax system integrations
Hands-on experience with tax determination platforms (OneSource Determination is ideal, but experience with Avalara, Taxjar, Vertex, or similar tax engines will be considered)
Working knowledge of indirect tax concepts (sales and use tax, VAT/GST, marketplace facilitator rules) and how they translate into system and data requirements
Understanding of tax data flows and integrations between ERP systems and tax platforms
Experience with peer-to-peer marketplaces or platforms where tax compliance is operationally complex
Familiarity with corporate tax concepts including compliance, reporting, and tax audit data requirements
Basic understanding of SOX internal controls frameworks as they apply to systems and technology
Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail
Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or related field
