About AppDirect

Become a digital, global citizen and enable the new generation of digital entrepreneurs around the world. AppDirect offers a subscription commerce platform to sell any product, through any channel, on any device - as a service. We power millions of subscriptions worldwide for organizations. We do this by our values-driven culture-one that enables you to Be Seen, Be Yourself, and Do Your Best Work.

About You

We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Director of Tax to build, lead, and scale our global tax function. This role will be responsible for establishing best-in-class tax processes, ensuring compliance across jurisdictions, and providing proactive guidance on indirect tax matters.

You are a seasoned tax leader with deep expertise in indirect taxation - particularly HST/GST/QST and U.S. sales and use tax - and you know how to build a function, not just run one. You've operated in multinational or high-growth environments and are equally comfortable advising the CFO on a complex M&A structure as you are rolling up your sleeves to get a filing done right. You bring sharp technical knowledge of tax compliance, audit management, and ERP systems, and you know how to translate tax risk into plain language for non-tax stakeholders. Your communication skills matter here because you'll be the primary voice on all tax matters to senior leadership - clarity and credibility are non-negotiable. You thrive in environments where the playbook is still being written, because you're the one writing it.

What you'll do and how you'll have an impact

• Build AppDirect's internal tax function from the ground up - defining the team structure, processes, and systems that will scale with our global growth
• Own compliance and reporting for all indirect taxes across Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions, including HST/GST/QST and sales and use tax, ensuring timely and accurate filings
• Lead tax audits end-to-end and manage relationships with tax authorities across relevant jurisdictions
• Serve as the primary tax advisor to senior leadership, providing proactive guidance on the tax implications of business decisions, entity structuring, and new market expansion
• Partner with Finance, Legal, and Operations on M&A activity and cross-border transactions, ensuring tax considerations are embedded early in the process
• Implement automation and efficiency in reporting and compliance workflows
• Monitor changes in tax legislation globally and assess their impact on AppDirect's operations, keeping leadership informed and ahead of risk

What we're looking for

• 10+ years of progressive tax experience, including at least 3 years in a leadership role
• Deep expertise in Canadian indirect taxes (HST/GST/QST); U.S. sales and use tax experience is strongly preferred
• Demonstrated experience building or significantly transforming a tax function in a multinational or high-growth environment
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field;
• CPA (or equivalent); strong working knowledge of tax compliance, reporting, and audit management
• Experience with tax technology platforms and ERP systems
• Clear, confident communication skills - you'll regularly translate complex tax matters for non-tax audiences, and your ability to build trust with senior stakeholders will directly shape how this function is perceived across the business
