Assistant Vice President, Global Tax Operations

Santa Clara, California

We have been exclusively retained by a global leader in life sciences, diagnostics, and laboratory technologies, to identify an Assistant Vice President, Global Tax Operations .

This is a “Top 1%” leadership opportunity within a sophisticated global tax organization. For a high-caliber professional, the prize is twofold: the chance to lead a sophisticated global function for a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, and the opportunity to exert boardroom-level influence on a platform that spans manufacturing, IP, and high-growth digital business lines.

If you are a tax strategist who views complexity as a chessboard versus a hurdle to overcome in a shifting landscape, this might be your next move:

• You operate at the strategic and execution levels while owning tax operations and helping drive tax-efficient business decisions.
• Every tax-efficient strategy you implement and every audit you resolve directly supports the R&D and diagnostic technologies that ensure food safety, environmental health, and the fight against cancer.
• You partner directly with finance, treasury, legal, supply chain, and senior leadership to ensure tax is embedded in key business decisions.
• Beyond the technical, you have a moral mandate to mentor and develop a high-performing team within a culture that deeply values internal mobility.
• You anticipate how you will stay ahead of the curve: Navigate complex international legal entities and aggressive M&A activity, while architecting tax strategies for an evolving global landscape and a growing digital footprint

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 15+ years of tax experience within a multinational corporation and/or public accounting environment.
• Strong leadership experience managing global tax operations and developing high-performing teams.
• Deep expertise in:
• ASC 740 / tax accounting
• Effective tax rate forecasting and modeling
• International tax operations
• Tax audits and controversy
• Operational implementation of tax planning strategies
• Experience supporting large multinational organizations with extensive non-U.S. legal entity structures.
• Ability to partner effectively across corporate functions and influence senior stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to model tax rate impact and assess tax implications of business decisions, planning initiatives, and acquisitions.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical tax matters to non-tax stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related field required; MST preferred.

Does this sound like your next challenge?
