Full Job Description

A BETTER BUILT WORLD https://www.miter.com/resources/a-better-built-world/ At Miter, we’re on a mission to help construction contractors build with confidence. If we’re successful, we’ll make it easier and faster to build critical physical infrastructure - roads, bridges, utilities, data centers, housing, etc. For decades, construction and field services contractors have had to run their businesses on outdated software: clunky, on-premise systems created in the 1980s and 1990s. That’s where Miter comes in. We’re using AI and embedded payments to rebuild the core HR, finance, and operations systems that underpin our physical economy. Using Miter, contractors like Marathon Electrical https://www.miter.com/customer-story/marathon-electrical-contractors/, W.J. O’Neil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNExtmeHcSg, and Truebeck Construction http://truebeck.com/ are building stronger teams, controlling job costs, and accelerating jobsite execution. This idea is resonating. Since we launched in 2021, we’ve grown to thousands of customers and tens of millions in ARR, making us one of the fastest growing vertical software companies ever. To double-down on our momentum, we’ve raised $50M+ from top investors (Bessemer, Coatue, and Battery) who share our belief that we’re just getting started. ABOUT THE TEAM & HOW WE WORK: As a Tax Operations Specialist, you’ll be Miter’s internal payroll tax expert - the person who turns tangled tax situations into clear, calm resolutions for our customers. Payroll tax is one of the highest-stakes parts of running payroll, and getting it right is core to the trust our customers place in Miter. You’ll work closely with Support, Launch, Product, and our partners at Check to own reactive tickets, drive proactive risk reviews, build the playbooks and enablement that scale tax expertise across the company. We’re a small, scrappy team that prizes ownership, clear writing, and the instinct to fix the root cause, not just the symptom. If you love untangl
