A bit about us:

A high-growth digital infrastructure company—fresh off a successful IPO and scaling to meet surging AI and high-performance computing demand—is seeking a Director, Tax to lead all aspects of tax strategy, planning, and compliance. The organization delivers ultra-efficient, on-site-powered data center capacity and operates at the intersection of energy, technology, and mission-critical infrastructure. This role is a unique opportunity to join the senior leadership team and shape the tax function of a next-generation hyperscale platform.

The Director, Tax will oversee tax strategy across a complex environment that includes REIT structures, renewable energy tax credits (ITCs and PTCs), and foreign trade zone operations. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, strong leadership skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, public-company setting.

Why join us?

This is a rare opportunity for a senior tax leader to step into a foundational role at the intersection of energy infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and large-scale real estate development.

The organization is developing one of the most ambitious energy-integrated AI infrastructure platforms in the United States—combining large-scale power generation with hyperscale data center development. As demand for compute and energy accelerates globally, the company is building the kind of infrastructure required to support the next generation of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies.

For a Tax Director, this role offers far more than traditional compliance oversight. You will play a strategic leadership role shaping the tax architecture of a complex, capital-intensive platform that leverages REIT structures, renewable energy incentives, and international trade frameworks.

What Makes This Role Unique

Strategic influence at the highest level
You will serve as a key advisor to executive leadership, helping guide tax strategy across capital deployment, infrastructure development, and long-term growth initiatives.

Complex, high-impact tax structuring
Few roles combine REIT qualification, energy tax credits (ITC/PTC), and foreign trade zone strategies within a single platform. This position sits at the center of structuring decisions that directly impact billions in infrastructure investment.

Build the tax function from the ground up
This is a chance to design and lead the tax organization, implement best-in-class processes, and establish the framework that will support the company’s long-term expansion.

Work on nationally significant infrastructure
The projects underway are designed to power the next generation of AI and high-performance computing, positioning the company at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry.

Early leadership in a high-growth platform
Joining at this stage means working alongside senior leadership while the organization is scaling—giving you a seat at the table as major strategic, financial, and structural decisions are made.
