Job Description

Shield AI is seeking an International Tax Manager to join its growing Tax team. This role is ideal for a tax professional who wants to go beyond recurring compliance execution and take meaningful ownership of international direct tax, planning support, special projects, and cross-functional business partnership.
In a lean, fast-moving environment, you will help the company navigate the tax implications of global operations, new legal-entity structures, product and market expansion, and other strategic initiatives. You will also provide hands-on support for U.S. indirect tax matters, including sales and use tax compliance, controversy, process improvement, and automation opportunities.
You will work closely with Tax, Accounting, FP&A, Legal, operational teams, and external advisors to translate complex tax issues into practical business guidance. This is a high-impact opportunity to help strengthen and scale a global tax function as the company grows.
