The role is a mix of consulting and compliance and looking for someone who likes to BUILD/CREATE processes as you won’t be “handed a playbook” on day 1.
We are targeting forward looking, strategic players who understand how to partner across the business while making sure to stay compliant and diligent.
Ideal background is 10-15+ years experience within a Real Estate (or PE-Backed) environment, leading their tax function.
We are working with a large global Fortune 500 company in Chicago to help them find their next Director due to internal promotion.
They have a hybrid work environment and an exceptional leadership team focused on doing things the right way, adding value, investing in infrastructure and developing talent and systems.
We’ve placed 4 people here (2 have already been promoted) who all love it for the challenge and the people/leadership.
This role sits in operations and works with the various BU CFO’s so strong communications skills on top of technical accounting is a must.
