This role will serve as the team's data and analytics expert, focusing on answering audit questions with data and leading the adoption of AI tools in tax controversy work.

Responsibilities

• Be the team's go-to person for getting deep into audit data and producing the analyses that answer our hardest external and internal questions
• Build expertise on unsettled legal and factual issues in sales and use tax

• A passion for finding answers in data. You don't just execute the steps you're given — you take a problem, get into the data, and come back with conclusions, flagging what looks wrong without being asked
• Thorough understanding of sales and use taxes, including marketplace facilitator laws. Experience with U.S. gross receipts taxes (e.g., Washington B&O, San Francisco GRT, Ohio CAT, Oregon CAT) is a strong plus
• Ability to critically analyze large transactional datasets, find the story they tell, and present that story clearly to auditors, the Tax Controversy Team, and internal stakeholders
• Fluency with Microsoft Excel and competence with Alteryx

• Enthusiastic user of modern AI tools (e.g., Claude) in a professional context. Ability to show concrete examples of how these tools have been used to make work better, faster, or more accurate
• Clear and concise communication skills, ability to manage multiple workstreams without losing the thread of any of them, and a strong moral compass and compassion for others
• Bachelor's degree or higher
• Experience in a high-growth technology, marketplace, or e-commerce company
• Direct experience working with state and local tax auditors
