About the role

  • We are looking for a sharp, self-sufficient Tax Manager to join our lean, high-impact Finance team.
  • This is a unique opportunity to have broad exposure across the full tax function at a growing tech health company - and to help shape the infrastructure and processes that will scale with us.

Responsibilities

  • Coordinate with and manage external tax advisors, Big 4 firms, and outside counsel - driving their work and ensuring quality and timeliness while keeping costs in check.
  • Support the Director of Tax in developing and executing tax planning strategies that reduce the company's effective tax rate and manage risk across federal, state, and local jurisdictions.
  • Support federal and state tax audits, including preparing responses, gathering documentation, and coordinating with external advisors and tax authorities.
  • Help build and maintain internal tax policies, controls, and process documentation to support a scalable, audit-ready tax function.
  • Contribute to tax due diligence and structuring support on M&A transactions and corporate development activities as needed.
  • Identify and implement process improvements and tax technology tools to drive efficiency across compliance and provision workflows.
  • As one of two members of the tax function, you will work closely with our Director of Tax to manage all aspects of corporate tax compliance, planning, and advisory - and you will be deeply hands-on in the work itself.
  • At WeightWatchers, our mission is to build a worldwide community connected by healthy habits.
  • WeightWatchers values developing community within our employee population as well.
  • We are committed as individuals, as an organization, and as fellow humans, to advocate for and support our employees, our members, and our communities.

  • Deep, hands-on technical expertise in U.S. federal and multi-state income tax compliance and ASC 740 tax provisions - you have personally prepared and reviewed complex returns, not just managed others doing so.
  • Experience with international tax matters including transfer pricing, GILTI, or FDII in a multinational context.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills. ability to translate technical tax issues for Finance, Legal, and executive audiences.
  • Proficiency with tax compliance and provision software (e.g., OneSource, Corptax, Bloomberg Tax) and ERP systems (e.g., Oracle, Workday).
