Director, Tax

Description
About the Role
This is a high-impact, strategic leadership opportunity to own and optimize the global tax function for one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the world, NinjaOne. Moving beyond the foundational build, you will be the definitive chief tax strategist responsible for guiding our continued international expansion and substantial revenue growth with world-class tax efficiency.

For an ambitious tax professional, this is the ideal platform to transition from advisor to in-house operational leader, securing your career trajectory by managing tax for a high-growth, multi-national tech leader with significant scale and momentum. You will work alongside a collaborative Accounting & Finance team and have the resources to partner with top external experts, solidifying your reputation as an industry-leading Director of Tax in the dynamic SaaS space.
