Sales Tax Compliance Specialist

tl;dr: We’re hiring a Sales Tax Compliance Specialist to run high-volume filings and registrations with customers and help build the operational and intelligence backbone of our compliance platform.

At a glance

• Fully remote (ideally US, but open to other geos)

• Customer-facing

• Deadline-driven cycles (busy filing periods expected)

• Full Salary, benefits, equity, & PTO

• Flexible working schedule (e.g. - we care about outcomes not the exact hours you keep)

The Role

We’re hiring a Sales Tax Compliance Specialist to work directly with our Tax Lead and Operations lead to execute high-volume compliance work for customers, including filings and registrations.

This is a hands-on execution role. You will file a lot of returns. You will complete a lot of registrations.

Long-term, you’l help us automate the work with in-house AI tooling + collaborating with our engineering team. But, make no mistake, this job will involve a lot of dirty work.

Deadlines can be intense. The job requires focus, patience, and accuracy across hundreds of tasks. If you like operational work and take pride in getting things right at scale, you’ll do well here.

If you mainly want research, advisory, or strategic tax work - this is not the role.

We’re open to multiple experience levels. The right candidate may enter as a specialist or senior specialist, with a path toward Compliance Team Manager as we scale.

What You’ll Do

• Filings execution:

• Prepare and file large volumes of state and local sales tax returns

• Manage filing calendars and ensure deadlines are never missed

• Work with Departments of Revenue to resolve notices, rejections, portal issues, and questions

• Maintain accurate records and audit trails

• Registrations & account maintenance:

• Complete state sales tax registrations

• Coordinate with customers to collect required information and documents

• Track registration status and follow up with jurisdictions

• Maintain portal access and account details across states

• Customer interaction:

• Follow up with customers to collect missing info

• Clearly communicate status, outcomes, and next steps

• Operational improvement:

• Spot recurring issues and inefficiencies

• Suggest workflow and tooling improvements

• Provide feedback to product & engineering on automation

What We’re Looking For

• Required

• A minimum of 3+ years working directly with multi-state sales tax filings.

• Experience working inside tax portals

• Extremely detail-oriented and reliable with deadlines

• Comfortable doing high-volume work

• Strong written communication with customers

• Very comfortable in spreadsheets, handling structured data, and navigating financial systems

• Strong fit backgrounds

• Filing/compliance services (TaxJar, Avalara, accounting firms, compliance providers)

• High-throughput operations roles involving accuracy and deadlines
