Property Tax Manager

Manager, Property Tax

📍 Downtown Chicago - On Site

A large, privately held national infrastructure and power development company is seeking a Senior Manager of Property Tax to join its growing tax team in a high-impact, highly visible role

.This is a strong opportunity for an experienced multi-state property tax professional who enjoys owning complex processes, engaging with external advisors and tax authorities, and working cross-functionally in a dynamic, deal-heavy environment

What You'll Do:

• Lead high-impact property tax planning, modeling, and compliance initiatives that directly shape project outcomes across a large national portfolio
• Coordinate and manage relationships with top external advisors and law firms across the country
• Serve as the in-house property tax subject matter expert — connecting insights across teams and driving alignment on key tax matters
• Represent the organization in discussions with state and local tax authorities on project-level matters
• Champion process and technology enhancements that streamline operations and improve quality
• Own key processes and projects end-to-end — setting direction, tracking progress, and delivering results

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 5+ years of multi-state property tax experience
• JD, CPA, or CMI preferred
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to independently drive work and navigate complex tax and legal research
• Sharp communicator, clear, confident writing and the ability to articulate complex issues to varied audiences
• Solutions-oriented self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and a fast-paced environment
• Eagerness to build and grow technical tax knowledge as the business evolves

Why This Role Stands Out

✅ High-visibility property tax leadership role at one of the largest privately held infrastructure companies in North America

✅ Broad multi-state scope across a growing national portfolio of large-scale projects

✅ Direct engagement with state and local tax authorities and top external advisors

✅ Dynamic, deal-heavy environment with real ownership and influence
