Sr. Director & Head of Tax

About the role:

• Fundrise is rebuilding its tax function around a small, senior in-house team supported by external capacity.
• Reporting to the CFO and serving on the finance leadership team, you will own tax positions across a complex fund platform.
• This is a build role where the operating model is intended to evolve and the work is judgment-heavy from day one.

What you will own:

• The positions and the risk: own technical tax positions, document reasoning to audit-defensible standards, and size exposure for stakeholders.
• The delivery model: design the split between in-house and external work, negotiate fees, and own the tax vendor budget.
• Compliance across the platform: REIT/RIC qualification, federal/state filings, ASC 740 provisions, and investor tax reporting.

What we are looking for:

• 10+ years of tax experience with genuine technical depth in REIT taxation.
• Experience defending positions to auditors or regulators and documentation discipline.
• Comfort in a small, fast-moving, largely remote organization where answers are often not pre-written.

Benefits:

• Remote-first work environment with competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with 3% contribution from Fundrise, equity grants, and flexible PTO.
• Paid parental leave and fully covered life insurance and short-term disability.
