Role Summary
We are hiring a tax product manager to help build the next generation of AI-powered Sales & Use Tax products. This person combines deep indirect tax expertise with the judgment to shape how an AI product behaves, including defining requirements, prioritizing investments, and delivering solutions to complex customer problems.
The ideal candidate understands sales and use tax across jurisdictions and industries and can translate that knowledge into roadmap priorities and scalable product capabilities. They will work closely with Product, Engineering, and QA teams to drive execution and continually improve product quality and customer outcomes.
This role owns the intersection of tax expertise and product development, serving as the voice of the customer and the authority on tax accuracy while helping shape the future of our tax AI platform.
What This Person Will Do
- Own the tax accuracy, quality, and performance of AI-powered Sales & Use Tax products.
- Translate complex tax requirements into clear specifications for how the product should behave, including what a correct output looks like, where the edge cases are, and how success is measured.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and QA teams to design, build, test, and launch new capabilities.
- Research and interpret complex tax issues, including taxability, exemptions, sourcing, nexus, marketplace rules, and industry-specific requirements.
- Define testing strategies, evaluation frameworks, and quality standards to ensure accurate and consistent product outcomes.
- Analyze product outputs, identify root causes of failures, and prioritize improvements based on customer impact, tax risk, and business value.
- Lead cross-functional initiatives and help shape the tax product roadmap.
- Collaborate with customer-facing teams to convert field feedback and customer issues into scalable product enhancements.
- Communicate priorities, requirements, risks, and outcomes effectively across tax, product, engineering, and leadership teams.
