Job description

We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations โ€” but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.

Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.

We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner: one that understands context, clarity, and taste.

Weโ€™ve reached a $2.1B valuation, crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, and have been profitable since 2023.

We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.

About the role

Youโ€™ll build and lead the tax function at Gamma, reporting to the Director of Accounting. With tens of millions of users worldwide and a fast-growing B2B business, our tax footprint is expanding quickly across global indirect tax, income tax provision, corporate returns, and local filings. Youโ€™ll be our dedicated tax owner: shaping strategy alongside the Director of Accounting, running the compliance calendar, and managing external advisors, all while staying handsโ€‘on with the technical work yourself.

This is a builderโ€™s role. We keep finance lean and put automation and AI to work wherever we can, so youโ€™ll design tax processes and systems that scale with the business instead of scaling headcount. If you want to own a global tax function endโ€‘toโ€‘end, with the judgment calls, advisor relationships, and crossโ€‘functional influence that come with it, this role was built for you.

What youโ€™ll do
  • Lead Gammaโ€™s tax function endโ€‘toโ€‘end in partnership with the Director of Accounting, owning the global tax calendar and the relationships with our external advisors
  • Own global indirect tax across our selfโ€‘serve and enterprise business: US sales and use tax (nexus analysis, registrations, filings) plus international VAT, GST, and digital services tax obligations
  • Manage the quarterly and annual income tax provision under ASC 740, and review US federal, state, and local corporate income tax returns and estimated payments prepared by external advisors
  • Handle local and other tax obligations (franchise, property, gross receipts, business licenses), and maintain the controls, documentation, and audit support that keep the function clean
  • Advise on the tax implications of international expansion, entity structuring, transfer pricing, and equity compensation as Gamma grows globally
  • Build scalable tax processes and implement tax technology, using AI and automation to keep the function lean as complexity grows

Our team has a strong inโ€‘office culture and works in person 4โ€“5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What youโ€™ll bring
  • An active CPA license and a bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, plus 8+ years of progressive tax and accounting experience spanning Big Four public accounting and inโ€‘house industry roles
  • Deep technical command of ASC 740 tax provision, multiโ€‘state corporate income tax, and US sales and use tax compliance
  • Strong working knowledge of global indirect tax (VAT, GST, digital services taxes) for SaaS or digital products sold internationally
  • A builderโ€™s mindset: youโ€™ve created tax processes, controls, and documentation from scratch and managed external advisors to get leverage
  • The range to operate both strategically and handsโ€‘on with limited oversight, translating complex tax issues clearly for nonโ€‘tax partners, paired with genuine excitement for AI tools and a track record of automating manual work
  • A Masterโ€™s in Taxation, experience with tax technology platforms like Anrok, Avalara, or Vertex, transfer pricing or international structuring experience, or time at a highโ€‘growth SaaS or AI company (Nice to have)
Compensation range:

The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $190K - $240K plus benefits & equity.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.

  • You get energy from small teams doing big things.
  • You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.
  • You default to action, even when the answer isnโ€™t clear yet.
  • You value details, but know when to ship and move on.
  • You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.
  • You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.
  • You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.
  • You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.
Who we are

Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. Itโ€™s the kind of place where youโ€™ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someoneโ€™s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.

We care about craft, move with intention, and donโ€™t mind getting a little scrappy. Itโ€™s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic โ€” but thatโ€™s what makes it interesting.

Hereโ€™s a bit about what itโ€™s like to work here, from people on the inside:

We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers:

  • "quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"
  • "You can have an idea and just run with it."
  • "Everyoneโ€™s talented and humble โ€” the mix keeps you sharp."
  • "We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."
Meet the team

Weโ€™re a team of dreamers and doers building in beautiful San Francisco

Weโ€™re kabbadi enthusiasts, pickleballers, dog herders, woodworkers, keyboard nerds, potters, and more โ€” and we canโ€™t wait to meet you!
