WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

Box's Tax team is growing, and we're looking for a Senior Tax Accountant to own our indirect tax function. In this role, you will be the subject matter expert for sales and use tax across Box's US and global operations — ensuring compliance, driving process improvements, and partnering cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, and Revenue Operations to support the business as it scales.

You will work in a collaborative, high-impact environment where your expertise directly shapes how Box manages its indirect tax obligations. This is an opportunity to bring both technical depth and strategic thinking to a team that values accuracy, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

 

WHAT YOU'LL DO 

• Manage end-to-end sales and use tax compliance, including preparation, review, and timely filing of returns across all applicable US jurisdictions.
• Research and analyze indirect tax issues, including nexus determinations, taxability of products and services, and exemption certificate management.
• Partner with Revenue Operations and Billing to ensure accurate tax calculation and collection within Box's billing systems and CPQ tools.
• Support indirect tax audits by preparing documentation, responding to notices, and coordinating with external advisors as needed.
• Monitor legislative and regulatory changes in sales and use tax law and assess their impact on Box's business operations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including Legal, Finance, and Product — to advise on indirect tax implications of new products, business initiatives, and go-to-market strategies.
• Identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities to increase efficiency and accuracy across the indirect tax compliance cycle.

 

WHO YOU ARE 

We are an AI-first company. This means you approach your work with a growth mindset and find ways to leverage AI to help make faster, smarter decisions that will 10X your impact at Box.

• You have 4+ years of experience in indirect tax, with a focus on US sales and use tax compliance, ideally including experience with software or SaaS sales tax implications; Big Four or public company experience is a plus, though not required.
• You have hands-on experience with tax technology platforms such as Avalara, Vertex, or similar automated tax calculation tools.
• You bring strong analytical skills and the ability to research complex tax issues, interpret statutes and regulations, and translate findings into clear, actionable guidance.
• You have experience working with ERP and billing systems (e.g., Salesforce, NetSuite, or Zuora) and understand how indirect tax integrates into the order-to-cash process.
• You are detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to manage recurring compliance deadlines and ad hoc priorities in a fast-moving environment, and you are eager to grow and develop within the role over time.
