Infrastructure Tax Lead
About the role
Serve as the embedded tax partner to Infrastructure team on deal intake: gather facts on site specs, counterparty structure, commercial terms, and timing; provide structure review and term-sheet input early enough to shape the deal
Lead Incentives workstream on state and local incentives, sales and use exemptions, property tax incentives, and site selection tax input; ensure incentive commitments and compliance obligations are reflected in the integrated tax position for each site
Partner with Tax Transactions and Tax Planning teams on service vs lease characterization, entity structure, and own contract tax provisions; and treatment across a portfolio of non-standard structures
Lead after-tax deal economics: bonus depreciation modeling on large-scale buildouts, NOL utilization, and scenario analysis; partner with Tax Planning, Tax Operations, and Infrastructure Accounting to ensure tax assumptions are reflected accurately in deal approval packages
Coordinate with Technical Accounting on lease-versus-purchase treatment, consolidation questions, capitalization policy, and book-tax differences across a range of deal structures
Stand up and maintain datacenter entity structures across jurisdictions: entity formation, operationalization with local teams, contemporaneous documentation, withholding on cross-border financing, permanent establishment risk, and debt-versus-equity characterization
Partner with transfer pricing on policy for the infrastructure footprint: intercompany compute pricing, benchmarking, and documentation that will withstand scrutiny as intercompany flows scale
Partner with the tax provision team on quarterly impact of new structures and deferred tax positions; ensure there are no surprises between deal close and quarter close
Build and maintain infrastructure tax playbooks, issue-spotting checklists, and internal processes so the function scales with deal volume rather than linearly with headcount
