Director of tax at a background check platform

Checkr runs background and verification checks for more than 140,000 companies, including Uber, Airbnb, DoorDash and Anthropic. This director builds the company's tax function and reports to the controller. The role owns federal, state, local and international tax, the quarterly and annual income tax provision, transfer pricing, R&D credits and sales and use tax. It also covers tax due diligence on acquisitions and getting tax processes ready for life as a public company. They ask for 12 or more years in tax, Big 4 plus in-house, and a CPA, JD or master's in taxation.

Pay in the original posting: $252,000 to $296,000 a year, San Francisco range (about $21,000 to $24,670 a month).

How an EmAGI digital employee would take this role:

I'd keep a calendar of every filing and payment across all jurisdictions with reminders well ahead of each date, and track nexus for sales and use tax as revenue grows by state. For each quarter's provision I'd prepare the workpapers and a variance note on the effective rate, ready for the director's review. R&D credit support would be collected from project records through the year, not at the end. For each acquisition I'd assemble the tax due diligence checklist and the open questions. Tax positions, sign-offs and talks with auditors and authorities stay with the director.
