Who are we?
FalconX is a pioneering team of operators, investors, and builders committed to revolutionizing institutional access to the crypto markets. Operating at the intersection of traditional finance and cutting-edge technology, FalconX addresses the industry's foremost challenges: Navigating the digital asset market can be complex and fragmented, with limited products and services that support trading strategies, structures, and liquidity found in conventional financial markets.

The Tax Manager will have a high profile role in building a FalconX tax function that meets both the demands of a complex and changing tax landscape and those of a fast-paced and growing company. In this role, you will provide critical enterprise-wide leadership and drive domestic and global tax strategy including tax provision, tax planning and tax compliance while working closely with the company's accounting and finance teams to support the overall financial objectives of the organization. You will play a key role in cross functional initiatives and the continuous improvement of FalconX tax processes and positions. As a member of the broader FalconX finance function, you will join a team that is passionate about teamwork, finance and crypto, and we are looking for a tax manager with that same passion and level of excitement to join our team!
