Overview
I’m partnering with a high-growth, NASDAQ-listed biopharmaceutical company that has scaled from ~200 to ~700 employees and is expanding globally (new product launches, EU entry, increasing transfer-pricing complexity). They are bringing Tax in-house after years of outsourcing and are hiring a Director of Tax to fully own all tax strategy, provision, compliance, and planning.
This is a critical, high-visibility role reporting directly to the VP Corporate Controller.
Why This Role Exists
The company historically outsourced tax to Deloitte. As the business has expanded internationally, tax complexity has grown significantly. The prior CAO handled tax for ~5 years but moved into a new role—now the Controller needs a true in-house expert.
This Director will be the go-to tax leader , both strategic and hands-on.
What You’ll Own
• Full ownership of ASC 740 and quarterly/annual tax provision
• Federal, state, local, and international tax compliance
• Transfer pricing , entity structuring, and tax planning for EU expansion
• Building a functioning VAT process (current workflow needs a full redesign)
• Managing all external firms + cost-benefit decisions on insourcing vs outsourcing
• Designing tax processes, controls, and SOX compliance
• Cross-functional partnership with Legal, Finance, Market Access, and Manufacturing
• Ability to roll up sleeves
Ideal Background
Must-Haves:
• Strong ASC 740 experience
• Ability to operate independently (team of one)
• Executive presence + polished communication skills
• Public-company experience (biotech preferred, but open to SaaS, Manufacturing, Retail, Semiconductor, etc.)
• Hands-on mentality — not a delegator-only profile
Nice-to-Haves (Not Required):
• Biotech/biopharma experience
• R&D credit exposure
Workplace Structure
• Hybrid, 3 days onsite (company standard)
• Reports directly to the VP Corporate Controller
• Long-term plan is an IC role (no guaranteed team build-out)
