Tax Manager – Renewable Energy (Solar Storage)
A growth-stage IPP is hiring a Tax Manager to lead its tax function across a national portfolio of solar and storage projects. The business develops, owns, and finances distributed generation and community solar assets, with exposure to emerging U.S. markets.
This is a commercially embedded role — not a pure compliance position. You’ll work alongside project finance, legal, development, and accounting teams on structuring, tax credit strategy, and execution.
Responsibilities:
- Oversee tax compliance via external advisors (federal, state, partnership, S&U, property tax)
- Review filings and ensure accuracy, completeness, and timeliness
- Lead tax input on project structuring, including ITC monetization and tax equity
- Support Section 48 / 48E credit strategy (PWA, FEOC, basis, eligibility)
- Manage ITC insurance processes, diligence, and documentation
- Partner with development and finance teams across the project lifecycle
- Contribute to corporate tax planning and cross-border matters (incl. Canada)
- Monitor regulatory changes impacting renewable energy tax
Requirements:
- 4–8 years’ experience in tax (public accounting background preferred)
- Direct experience in renewable energy / solar required
- Working knowledge of Section 48 / 48E credits, PWA, FEOC, and credit monetization
- Experience with partnership taxation and multi-state tax considerations
- CPA or Master’s in Tax preferred
This role suits someone who wants to move beyond compliance into deal-facing tax work within a project-driven environment.
