We are seeking a dynamic, self‑starter, and highly experienced tax leader to join our results‑driven organization and collaborative finance team. Based in our Memphis office, the Senior Manager of US Tax will oversee all US federal and state income tax compliance, tax provision accounting, and indirect tax activities—including franchise, property, and sales & use taxes.

The tax team partners with all business functions to create value and deliver corporate savings across the organization, operating under a mandate that extends well beyond tax compliance.
