Job Description

Build the Future of Tax Credits—Without the Timesheets

Are you passionate about tax credits, energized by complex incentives, and ready to leave timesheets behind for good?

About the Role:

Internally we called this role Tax Credit Specialist. You'll be a hands-on, technical contributor responsible for identifying complex state and federal tax credits, jobs-based and investment-related incentives.

This fully remote role offers autonomy, minimal travel, and the opportunity to shape the future of tax credits through data and artificial intelligence.

This is an ideal opportunity for professionals with public accounting or incentive consulting experience who want to continue doing intellectually challenging work without timesheets or traditional burnout.

You will report to the Vice President of Incentives.

Help develop AI-enabled workflows that:

Stay current on changes in state and federal incentive legislation affecting jobs and investment credits.

You're, technically thoughtful, and excited by the idea of modernizing tax credits through data and AI. You take pride in your work, enjoy navigating complex incentive programs, and want to be part of a team that's building something smarter and better than the traditional tax credit model.
