Director of Tax Accounting

Director of Tax (US)

Wilmington Office and/or Remote with travel

Monday-Friday 7:30 am to 4:30 pm

CSC is a privately held multinational company with offices in 30 countries.

This is a builder’s role, not a care taker’s, with responsibility for the US team, managing all aspects of US tax, reporting to Global Senior Director of tax with a focus on risk, value add, accounting and compliance. You’ll partner with business unit leaders, shared services, and international tax teams to deliver commercially-minded solutions — while shaping the team, technology, and processes that will scale with us. 

If you’re energized by the chance to design rather than maintain — and you want your work to influence how a global business operates — we’d like to talk. 

What you’ll own:

•  Set US tax strategy. Identify planning opportunities across US and international operations, manage risk, and align structure to best practice. 

• Build, mentor, and scale a team of circa 10 in US, driving continuous improvement, professional development, and alignment with CSC core values.

• Own end-to-end US tax compliance — Federal, State, Sales & Use, and international filings (Forms 8858, 5471, CBCR, GILTI, Subpart F) plus 987/988 gain/loss calculations.

•  Lead US tax accounting, forecasting, and budgeting — including provisioning, KPIs, footnote disclosures, and deferred tax computations. 

•   Review quarterly S Corp shareholder distribution calculations and support shareholder relations. 

•  Provide strategic direction, technical guidance, and leadership to the US tax team as we implement a new operating model.

• Manage relationships with external tax advisors and align internal and external resources. Looking to bring in-house more work where appropriate

•  Collaborate with global business units, shared services, and international tax teams. 

•  Partner with the Director of Tax Technology to invest in systems that scale with growing tax demands. 

•  Lead audits and inquiries across direct and indirect tax.

• Work closely with senior managers across US direct and indirect tax to ensure compliance, planning, and technical decisions land on time.

•  Advise senior leadership on the impact of new and proposed tax legislation and prepare the business for what’s coming.

   

   

   

  Year one, you’ll:

•  Stand up the post-acquisition US tax operating model — calendar, controls, reporting and roles.

• Deliver a clean full-year provision and footnote under the new structure.

• Build the playbook for S Corp shareholder distributions and reporting.

• Partner with Tax Technology to scope and begin in-sourcing key compliance workstreams from external advisors.

• Establish the internal relationships (BU finance, shared services, international tax) and external (advisors, auditors) — that the function will run on.

What you will bring:

•  Deep U.S. technical knowledge of corporate income tax and indirect tax for both C-Corps and S-Corps, paired with the drive to build.

• 10-15 years U.S. tax experience across industry and public accounting.

• Bachelor's in accounting or (equivalent); CPA and master's a plus

• Track record building and leading teams across global locations and designing processes that bring more work in-house from third parties. 

• Hands on experience with EPM/Hyperion, Corptax, and Oracle/ SAP (or other major ERP platforms).

• Working knowledge of data analytics and tax automation/RPA tools.

• Strong accounting and analytical skills, detail-oriented and able to manage competing priorities.

• Able to explain complex tax matters clearly to non-tax stakeholders and influence decisions at the senior leadership level.  

• Able to travel to our Wilmington, DE headquarters on a quarterly basis or as business needs dictate

This role is not eligible for employment visa sponsorship (e.g., H‑1B, TN, E‑3) now or in the future.
