This is an in-person role based in our San Francisco office and requires five days per week in the office. Please apply only if you are able to meet this requirement.

## About Slash

Slash is building the future of business banking, one industry at a time. We believe businesses deserve financial infrastructure tailored to how they actually operate. That's why we're creating a new category of business banking. We combine the reliability of traditional banking (high yields, competitive rewards, and comprehensive security) with industry-specific features that make businesses more efficient, more competitive, and more profitable. Started in 2021, Slash is one of the fastest growing fintechs in the world and we power over three billion dollars a year in business purchasing across numerous industries. We're backed by some of the best investors in the world including Menlo Ventures, NEA, Y Combinator, Stanford University, and the founders of Tinder and Plaid. Slash is headquartered in San Francisco, and has a strong in-person culture.

## About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on Tax & Compliance Operations Lead to build and run the systems that help Slash meet its tax obligations and operate responsibly as a growing financial technology company. You’ll own the day-to-day work while building a durable operating framework: clear policies, reliable filings, strong controls, and audit-ready records. You’ll work closely with Finance, Legal, Product, Operations, and our banking and external partners to translate changing requirements into practical processes. This role is for someone who can get into the details, make sound calls when the answer isn’t obvious, and improve the system as the business grows.

## What you’ll do

- Own corporate tax compliance, including coordinating federal, state, and local filings, tax provision support, information reporting, and external tax advisors.
- Build a calendar and control framework for tax obligations, evidence collection, approvals, and record retention.
- Maintain and improve the compliance program in partnership with Legal and relevant financial partners.
- Translate applicable laws, regulations, and partner requirements into clear policies, procedures, and operational controls.
- Oversee compliance monitoring, issue escalation, remediation tracking, and preparation for audits, examinations, and partner reviews.
- Work with Product and Engineering to build compliance requirements into new products, workflows, and automation.
- Train teams on the controls and decisions that affect their work.
- Use data and automation, including AI tools where appropriate, to reduce manual work while preserving review and accountability.

## What we’re looking for

- 5+ years of relevant experience across tax, compliance, accounting, or financial services; experience in a fintech, bank, or other regulated company is a plus.
- Strong working knowledge in at least one of the two core areas—tax or financial services compliance—and the judgment to manage the other with support from Legal or specialist advisors.
- Experience owning complex deadlines, external advisors, audits, or regulatory and partner reviews.
- Ability to turn complex requirements into clear processes and controls.
- Clear, concise communication and sound judgment when facts are incomplete.
- A builder’s mindset: you can handle today’s work and make the process better for the next person.

A CPA, tax qualification, or compliance certification is a plus.

How success will be measured

- Filings and required reviews are accurate, complete, and delivered on time.
- Tax and compliance controls are documented, followed, and easy to evidence.
- Issues and findings are identified, escalated, and resolved promptly.
- Teams understand their responsibilities and can launch changes with the right controls in place.
- Manual effort decreases without weakening review quality.

Why Join Slash:

- Competitive base salary
- Equity in a high-growth company
- Best-in-class health, dental, and vision insurance
- Unlimited PTO
- Daily in-office meals
- Transportation support
- High-autonomy, low-bureaucracy environment
