Senior Director Tax (Boston)

We have been exclusively retained by a publicly traded global industrial technology company serving the life sciences, medical, and advanced manufacturing industries to identify a Senior Director, Global Tax .

This is not a maintenance role. It is a succession-oriented platform built for a tax leader ready to step into the top seat, with a clearly defined path to VP, Global Tax and full ownership of the worldwide tax function within two to three years.

This company has been on a remarkable growth trajectory, organically and through acquisition, building a complex, multinational platform with an active deal pipeline. The complexity is real. So is the opportunity.

If you are a tax strategist who thrives at the intersection of complexity and consequence, this might be your next move:

Responsibilities

• You own global tax operations end-to-end: ASC 740 provisions, compliance across U.S., Canada, and APAC, R&D credits, and the strategic planning that ties it all together.
• You will be the architect of a growing tax function, not a passenger in it, shaping strategy for a multinational platform navigating Pillar Two/BEPS 2.0 and an active M&A pipeline.
• The technologies this company engineers sit at the invisible frontier of modern medicine and precision manufacturing: the kind that quietly make the impossible possible. Every dollar you protect keeps that work moving forward.
• The platform you join operates where medical innovation and advanced industrial technology intersect: supporting products that most people will never see but will almost certainly benefit from.
• You are given an explicit mandate to develop the next generation of the team: in a company with a genuine track record of internal promotion and upward mobility.
• You will partner directly with Finance, Treasury, Legal, Supply Chain, and executive leadership: ensuring tax is not a back-office function but a driver of business decisions.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 15+ years of tax experience: ideally a blend of Big Four public accounting and multinational public company.
• Deep technical mastery of ASC 740 / global income tax provision.
• Strong command of international tax operations, including Pillar Two/BEPS 2.0 implications.
• Demonstrated ability to optimize effective tax rate and manage tax consequences of complex business activity.
• Experience leading and developing high-performing teams in deadline-driven environments.
• Executive-level communication skills: able to distill complex positions for audit committees and senior leadership.
• CPA preferred; MST, JD, or LLM is a plus.
• Must be based in or willing to relocate to the greater Boston area (hybrid/on-site role).

Does this sound like your next challenge?
