Blank Street is seeking a sharp, hands-on Global Tax Manager to join as our first dedicated tax hire and build our tax function from the ground up. This role owns all indirect tax workstreams across our existing footprint (US multi-state and local sales and use tax, and UK VAT) with a mandate to revamp and optimize how tax works across every sales channel: in-store, app and subscriptions, as well as e-commerce sales. As Blank Street continues to expand into new regions and territories, you’ll lead the tax side of every market entry, from initial research and technical memos through to registration, implementation, and ongoing filings and remittances.
Beyond indirect tax, you’ll support on global transfer pricing initiatives, and liaise with our external tax accountants on our direct tax compliance - owning timelines, review, and quality - while preparing ancillary returns and studies in-house (think US R&D tax credit and UK capital allowance studies). Over time, you’ll build the internal capabilities, processes, and systems to bring core tax filings fully in-house. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who takes pride in technical rigor, precision, and continuous improvement, affording you the ownership to be equal parts researcher, builder, and operator. The ideal professional is someone who wants to be the go-to resource for all things tax as we grow globally, while developing the function from the ground up.
This is an in-person role based in our New York office, reporting to the Global Controller and partnering closely with Accounting, Product and Digital teams, as well as our external tax advisors.
