(Senior) Manager (m / f / d) Tax Practice

Overview

To further strengthen our Finance & Tax practice, we are looking for you in our Chicago office.

As (Senior) Manager, Tax Practice, you will play a pivotal leadership role across AURELIUS’s portfolio, serving as both a trusted advisor to executive management and, where needed, interim Head of Tax. This is a high-impact, advisory-focused position where you will be the go-to tax leader for all tax matters, driving both compliance and value optimization across a growing portfolio.

As our portfolio rapidly expands, this role offers a rare opportunity to evolve into a broader leadership position — shaping not only tax outcomes but the maturity of the tax function across a diverse and growing platform. If you’re a senior tax professional eager to take ownership, lead transformation, and operate at the intersection of tax and strategy, we’d love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities

You’ll act as a strategic in-house advisor to AURELIUS’s portfolio companies, helping them manage their tax affairs in a pragmatic, value-focused manner.

Your responsibilities will span the full investment lifecycle — from acquisition to exit — giving you a seat at the table during critical phases of value creation. Specifically, you will :

• Design and build tax functions for newly acquired companies, or assess and enhance existing capabilities to align with best practices and business goals.
• Drive tax efficiency throughout the holding period by implementing practical, scalable solutions tailored to each company’s needs.
• Lead tax readiness for exits, ensuring that companies are optimally positioned from a structuring, documentation, and risk standpoint.

This is an opportunity to shape the tax infrastructure of diverse businesses, apply your expertise with autonomy, and make a measurable contribution to the success of each investment.
