You will design the governance framework, establish the controls, and define what US tax looks like at Nubank for years to come.</p> <p>You will work directly with global leadership and a world-class external advisory team, with the full weight of a NYSE-listed company behind you and the agility of a startup in front of you. Few roles offer the rare combination of technical depth, structural authority, and the chance to genuinely leave your mark on a company at a defining moment in its trajectory.</p> <p>If you are a seasoned US tax professional who wants to build, not just maintain — this is your role.</p> <h3><strong>You'll be responsible for</strong></h3> <p>Your day-to-day will be defined by the dynamism of a complex, fast-growing financial operation.
