As Senior Product Manager, US Tax, you own the product strategy, roadmap, and success of Caseware's US tax solutions: the compliance and provision work US firms carry out, how it connects to the accounting and assurance work already running in Caseware, and where Caseware integrates with the wider US tax technology stack.

Interpret IRS and state guidance, and legislative change with a compliance impact, and get it onto the roadmap before it is effective. 

Know the US tax software landscape and what firms already run. 

Spend time with firms of every size and and shape roadmap based upon customer need and highest value impact

Provide the product view into pricing and packaging for those solutions.
