Tax Manager | USA | Remote

The Opportunity:

We're looking for a Tax Manager to take on meaningful ownership across provision, compliance, planning, and R&D credits at a fast-growing global company. This is an individual contributor role with end-to-end ownership and no direct people management responsibilities. In this role, you'll work closely with Accounting, FP&A, Legal, and cross-functional leaders, bringing structure and expertise to Grafana's tax function as we continue to scale.

This role is ideal for someone who is resourceful and adaptable, thrives in a fast-growing remote-first environment, and is excited to leverage tools (including AI) to work efficiently across a broad range of tax areas.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Manage all US federal and state income tax compliance and planning, including corporate returns and estimated tax payments
• Execute the quarterly and annual tax provision process under ASC 740, including deferred tax analysis, valuation allowances, and tax disclosures
• Lead global indirect tax compliance, including sales and use tax, VAT/GST, and gross receipts
• Support and execute R&D tax credit identification, documentation, and maximization across federal and state programs
• Manage tax audits and notices, including preparation of responses and supporting documentation
• Support month-end and quarter-end close through tax accruals, account reconciliations, and tax provision entries
• Maintain the global tax compliance calendar and manage relationships with external advisors
• Design and improve tax processes and workflows, leveraging automation and AI tools to move toward data-driven, scalable approaches
• Use AI tools to accelerate tax research, documentation, and analysis across compliance and planning workstreams
• Serve as the internal tax resource for cross-functional teams by translating complex tax matters into clear guidance for Finance, Legal, and business stakeholders

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• 6+ years of U.S., international tax experience, including Big 4 and/or in-house experience at a multinational company
• Master’s in taxation, CPA, JD, LLM or similar certifications strongly preferred
