Our core values
- We know that we're better together
- We are always learning and growing
- We shape our own destiny
- We build relationships that matter
We're a small distributed team that knows firsthand the sales tax challenges we’re working to resolve. We're lean, but experienced. We've started our own businesses, sold successful companies (a few in the tax and accounting space), been part of IPOs, worked at Fortune 500s and even resold hundreds of designer shoes on eBay from a garage. We get it. Sales tax isn't fun and that's why we made TaxJar.
As we continually scale and transform our business, we are looking for a leader who can set a strategic vision for learning and enablement to identify, prioritize, curate, build, and maintain the delivery and measurement of training programs. We seek someone who will guide our team to ensure team members are prepared to meet the ongoing needs of customers, design and deliver self service training material that engages customers and partners, and continue to evolve TaxJar learning to align with our strategy. You will manage a team of content developers and trainers, working in a fast-paced environment to realize our vision of a defined product training curriculum. You’ll make sure we’re leveraging current tools and industry findings to help individual contributors be more productive while providing actionable insights to our front line managers. Your mission: Make TaxJar customer facing employees, partners and customers extremely knowledgeable about our product and ensure usability and practical application of all training materials.
