Tax Manager

FanDuel is seeking an experienced indirect tax professional to join its Indirect Tax team, reporting to the Tax Director (Indirect) in a hybrid role based out of the New York City office. The Tax Manager (Indirect) owns sales and use tax compliance across FanDuel's multi-state footprint while also serving as a technical resource on the legal principles that drive indirect tax outcomes, including nexus, taxability of digital and gaming products, sourcing, and exemption certificate management. The role suits someone who can run a clean, on-time compliance cycle and also creatively interpret and practically apply complex state and local sales tax laws, regulations, and rulings.

• Own the end-to-end sales and use tax compliance cycle across FanDuel's multi-state footprint and assist outside advisors with return preparation and review, filings, registrations, notices, and account reconciliations, ensuring accuracy and on-time delivery.
• Research and document the legal basis for the company's indirect tax positions using primary authority and translate that analysis into practical guidance the business can act on.
• Monitor nexus, taxability, and sourcing developments across state and local jurisdictions, including rules specific to digital goods, information services, software, subscriptions, and gaming products, and assess the impact on filings, systems, and pricing.
• Assist the Tax Legal team with indirect tax audits, notices, and Department of Revenue inquiries.
• Drive process improvements and scalable solutions across the compliance calendar, leveraging tax engines, automation, AI, and data analytics.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Finance, Legal, Product, Tech) to ensure indirect tax is considered early in new product launches, market entries, and system changes.
• Own business controls related to indirect tax within the SOX control environment, ensuring documentation, testing, and audit readiness.
• Manage exemption certificate compliance, voluntary disclosure agreements, and refund claims, and review the work of external advisors where engaged.

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, economics, or a related field.
• 5+ years of indirect tax experience, with substantial time spent on multi-state sales and use tax compliance in industry, a Big 4/national firm, or a state revenue department.
• Demonstrated command of the legal principles underpinning sales and use tax — nexus, taxability and characterization, sourcing, bundling, and exemptions — and the ability to research and defend a position from primary authority rather than software output.
• Proven ability to review and challenge complex analyses prepared by others, testing both the numbers and the technical support for the position taken.
• Working knowledge of how indirect tax rules apply to digital goods, subscriptions, and other non-traditional offerings, or the ability to get there quickly.
• Skilled in building stakeholder relationships across internal functions and with state tax authorities, auditors, and external advisors.
• Data-driven mindset, with experience using large transactional datasets, models, and analytics to inform indirect tax decisions.
• Skilled at translating complex analyses into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders through strong visual, verbal, and written communication.
• Combines strong project ownership with the ability to resolve issues hands-on when needed.

• CPA, JD, or LLM in taxation.
• Industry experience in gaming, sports betting, technology, or digital media, particularly with multi-jurisdictional consumer offerings.
• In-house experience balancing a recurring compliance calendar against technical advisory and planning work.
• Experience with SOX controls, public company reporting, or state indirect tax audits and controversy.
• Demonstrated success leading tax engine implementations (Vertex, Avalara, or similar), process automation, or compliance technology projects.
• Skilled with advanced Excel, automation, data visualization, and SQL/analytics tools.

• Hybrid role based out of the New York City office.

• An array of health plans to choose from, some as low as $0 per paycheck, including medical, vision, and dental insurance.
• Programs for fertility and family planning, mental health support, and fitness benefits.
• Life insurance and disability insurance.
• Generous paid time off (PTO and sick leave), including paid personal time off and 14 paid company holidays, plus paid sick time in accordance with applicable state and federal laws.
• Annual bonus and long-term incentive opportunities based on performance, including cash bonuses and stock program participation.
• 401k with up to a 5% match.
• Commuter benefits.
• Pet insurance.
• Benefits differ across location, role, and level.
