Lead / Sr. Business Analyst (Tax Transformation)

Mid / Senior

In this role, you will work closely with external clients, as well as internal business, development, and design teams – helping to define solutions, contributing to the functional aspects of the solution design and even the technical aspects as well.

We are looking for technologists who have come from a strong functional background, who love to solve business problems with technology, and who can own the business relationship to discuss, design, and refine the technical solutions that will add value. Project will work center around tax transformation, so domain knowledge of corporate, partnership, or indirect tax is preferable.
