What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Tax position at Klaviyo?
Klaviyo is growing rapidly and profitably. Our platform handles billions of events and consists of multiple building blocks that can be combined and reused to deliver outstanding value for customers. Our hypergrowth opens up many interesting opportunities to excel and grow - from scaling to 10X the previous year workload, to being part of internal start-ups that seek to explore markets that our technology can help, to being part of a team that is constantly reinventing themselves to continue to deliver customer value faster even as we continue to grow in size.
The Director of Tax will report to the Corporate Controller and will work with the other members of Finance in scaling the tax function in support of Klaviyo’s broader business initiatives and customers.
