If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a highly strategic and commercially minded Tax, Partner to lead tax planning, structuring, and execution across a capital-intensive, infrastructure-driven business. This role will be responsible for developing and implementing tax strategies that support long-term growth, optimize cash taxes, and align with the Company’s operating model, investment strategy, and transaction activity.

The ideal candidate will bring deep technical tax expertise, strong business judgment, and experience advising on complex matters involving data centers, cost segregation, capital expenditures, M&A, managed services, cloud and colocation arrangements, and tax-efficient structuring.

This is a highly visible role that will partner closely with Finance, Accounting, Legal, Operations, Corporate Development, Treasury, and external advisors.

## Key Responsibilities

Strategic Tax Planning

- Lead the development and execution of tax strategies that support the Company’s business objectives, growth plans, and capital deployment priorities.
- Identify and implement opportunities to optimize cash taxes, effective tax rate, tax attributes, and entity structure.
- Advise leadership on tax implications of major business decisions, including capital investments, financing structures, commercial arrangements, and expansion into new jurisdictions.

Capital Expenditures, Data Centers & Cost Segregation

- Drive tax planning for capital-intensive projects, including data center development, infrastructure buildouts, equipment purchases, leasehold improvements, and related investments.
- Lead cost segregation studies and depreciation planning to maximize tax efficiency and cash tax benefits.
- Partner with Operations, Legal, Corporate Development, Accounting, and external advisors to ensure capital projects are structured, documented, and classified appropriately for tax purposes.
- Evaluate tax strategies related to bonus depreciation, tangible property regulations, repairs versus capitalization, and asset classification.

M&A & Transactions

- Support tax diligence, structuring, modeling, and integration for acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, carve-outs, and other strategic transactions.
- Advise on tax-efficient deal structures, purchase price allocations, tax attributes, indemnities, transaction costs, and post-close integration matters.
- Partner with Corporate Development, Legal, and external advisors to assess transaction risks and opportunities.

Managed Services & Commercial Arrangements

- Advise on tax considerations related to managed services agreements, hosting arrangements, intercompany services, revenue models, and customer or vendor contracts.
- Assess tax implications of operating models, including transfer pricing, revenue sourcing, sales and use tax, property tax, withholding tax, and indirect tax considerations.
- Help ensure commercial agreements are structured in a tax-efficient and operationally practical manner.

Tax Compliance, Reporting & Governance

- Oversee federal, state, local, and applicable international tax compliance processes.
- Partner with Accounting on tax provision, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, and financial statement disclosures.
- Develop scalable tax processes, controls, documentation, and governance frameworks.
- Manage relationships with external tax advisors and ensure high-quality, cost-effective support.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership

- Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on tax matters.
- Translate complex tax concepts into clear business recommendations.
- Build strong working relationships across Finance, Legal, Operations, Corporate Development, and external stakeholders.

- Familiarity with managed services agreements, intercompany arrangements, and tax considerations for complex commercial contracts.
- Strong understanding of federal, state, local, and indirect tax matters.
- Excellent analytical, communication, project management, and executive-facing skills.

Ideal Candidate Profile

- They should be proactive, commercially aware, highly organized, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with complex transactions, large capital projects, and evolving business models.

## About Hut 8

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Hut 8 is an energy infrastructure platform that integrates power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies including Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC/AI).
- **Entity Type**: Public (NASDAQ: HUT; TSX: HUT)
- **Headquarters**: Miami, Florida, United States
- **Founded**: 2017
- **Founders**: Not publicly listed as individual founders; the company emerged from the Hut 8 Mining Corp. lineage.

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Energy Infrastructure, Digital Infrastructure, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) Compute, Bitcoin Mining.
- **Target customers**: B2B; primarily enterprise and institutional clients needing purpose-built data centers, colocation, and compute capacity for AI and HPC workloads. Also includes institutional energy partners and Bitcoin mining operators.
- **Mission/Purpose**: To build a platform that evolves alongside energy-intensive technologies for decades to come—from world-shaping innovations today to the breakthroughs yet to be achieved. They take a "power-first, innovation-driven" approach.

## Products & Services
- **Energy Infrastructure (Power)**: Acquisition, development, and management of critical energy assets—powered land, interconnects, substations, switchyards, and generation assets. This is the foundational layer of their platform.
- **Digital Infrastructure (Data Centers)**: Design, build, monetize, and operate purpose-built facilities for energy-intensive applications (AI, HPC, Bitcoin mining). Key assets include the Beacon Point (1 GW AI campus) and River Bend (330 MW) sites.
- **Compute (HPC & AI)**: Operating businesses that acquire, deploy, and monetize specialized hardware for next-generation workloads. This includes their **Highrise.ai** subsidiary, which commercializes AI infrastructure and cloud capacity.
- **Bitcoin Mining & Managed Services**: Legacy and ongoing ASIC compute operations across sites in Alberta, New York, and Texas.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed in provided sources. As a public company (NASDAQ: HUT), market cap fluctuates with stock price.
- **Key Metric**: **1,020 megawatts** of energy capacity under management across 15 sites in the US and Canada (as of mid-2026). They recently commercialized the first phase of their 1 GW Beacon Point AI data center campus with a **15-year, 352 MW IT lease** carrying a base-term contract value of **$9.8 billion**.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Macquarie (joint venture partner), a Fortune 200 renewable energy producer (JV partner), and institutional debt investors (closed $4.25 billion in investment-grade senior secured notes for Beacon Point).
- **Growth Signals**: Massive headcount growth (+55.7% year-over-year to 175 employees). Active job postings have grown +116.7% year-over-year (52 open roles). They are aggressively building out their AI/HPC commercial arm (Highrise.ai) and expanding their energy origination team.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Power-First Approach**: Unlike pure data center developers, Hut 8 originates and owns the power assets (land, interconnects, substations) first, giving them a structural advantage in speed and cost to market.
- **Multi-Use Case Flexibility**: They can deploy Bitcoin mining as a "transitional load" to generate cash flow while building out higher-return AI/HPC data centers on the same site. This allows rapid, cost-effective commercialization.
- **Scale & Financial Backing**: A 1 GW campus (Beacon Point) with a $9.8B contracted lease and $4.25B in investment-grade debt financing is a rare, institutional-grade asset in the AI infrastructure space.
- **Integrated Platform**: They own the full stack—power, physical data centers, and compute operations—enabling them to optimize assets for the highest risk-adjusted return over time.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling AI Infrastructure**: The primary current focus is commercializing the Beacon Point campus and building out River Bend for AI compute. The Highrise.ai subsidiary is central to this push.
- **Energy Origination**: Aggressively acquiring and developing new power assets (interconnects, substations) across North America.
- **Platform Optimization**: Actively managing the portfolio to transition assets from Bitcoin mining to higher-return HPC/AI use cases over time.
- **Capital Discipline**: Using creative financing (investment-grade notes, JVs) to fund massive capital expenditures while maintaining a disciplined balance sheet.

## Why Work Here
- **High-Impact Work**: Employees work at the intersection of energy and AI—two of the most transformative industries. The company is building infrastructure that powers the next generation of technology.
- **Culture & Values**: Certified as a **Great Place to Work®** and included in Newsweek's America's Greatest Companies. Culture is described as "ownership mindset," "merit-based decision-making," "no room for ego," and "the best idea wins." CEO Asher Genoot emphasizes "substance over flash."
- **Growth Trajectory**: The company is in a hyper-growth phase (55% headcount growth YoY, 117% increase in job postings). This offers rapid career advancement and the chance to shape a scaling organization.
- **Work Environment**: Headquarters in **Miami, FL**, with roles available in San Francisco, Baton Rouge, Nueces County (TX), and remote options for some positions (e.g., Director, Energy Origination is remote).
- **Notable Perks**: Working with a team of "sector veterans and proven builder-operators." Emphasis on intellectual rigor, ownership, and solving hard problems at scale.
