Tax Manager

About Mainspring Mainspring Energy manufactures and delivers fuel-flexible, low-emissions local power solutions that rapidly add new capacity and deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable electric power.

The company began commercial shipments of its Mainspring Linear Generators in 2020 and today has hundreds of megawatts in advanced development and field operations for leading Fortune 500 companies, data centers, and utilities. Mainspring also partners with global energy leaders including AEP, NextEra Energy Resources, Schneider Electric, and more.

As Mainspring continues to scale, we are looking for a Tax Manager who wants to move beyond processing returns and become a true business operator. Reporting to the VP of Finance & Corporate Controller, you will build and own key tax and risk management processes that support the company’s next stage of growth.

Rather than stepping into a mature tax department, you will have the opportunity to help build one. This role offers meaningful ownership, broad exposure across the business, and direct visibility with senior leadership.

You will influence how Mainspring approaches tax compliance, risk management, automation, and scalability while developing the skills needed to grow into future management and leadership opportunities. This role is ideal for a technically strong tax professional who enjoys creating structure, improving processes, and taking ownership.

You will partner across Finance, Legal, Operations, Sales, and FP&A while serving as Mainspring’s internal resource on tax compliance, tax reporting, and corporate insurance matters. If you are a builder who enjoys combining technical expertise with operational impact, this is an opportunity to make a lasting mark on a rapidly growing clean energy company.

Experience with federal and state income tax compliance Hands-on experience with multi-state sales and use tax compliance and nexus analysis Familiarity with property tax compliance in multiple jurisdictions Ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities independently Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with non-tax stakeholders
