What it’s like to be a Northbridge Indirect Tax Manager

As part of our collaborative Taxation team, the Indirect Tax Manager leads the full commodity tax function for Northbridge. You’ll oversee monthly and annual tax compliance, ensure adherence to federal and provincial indirect tax legislation, support tax audits, and provide trusted tax advisory across the organization.

You’ll also play a key role in upcoming cross‑training between the direct and indirect tax streams, contribute to tax projects during our new billing system implementation, and act as a subject matter expert for both business partners and senior leadership. This hybrid Toronto‑based role reports directly to the VP and collaborates closely with other leaders and our broader Finance and Reporting teams.

• Communicating clearly with both technical and non‑technical partners
• Providing thoughtful analysis, identifying issues, and offering practical alternatives

• A CPA designation (preferred), or a master’s degree/equivalent experience
• Financial services experience preferred

• Experience with monthly/annual returns, SAM calculations, and audits
• Experience supporting or managing commodity tax audits
• Understanding of insurance accounting, including premiums, claims, statutory overdue, collections, reinsurance, and related controls
• Strong analytical abilities and mathematical aptitude (ratings, formulae, percentages)
• Advanced Excel and solid Microsoft Office skills; familiarity with tax/accounting/insurance systems

We really mean it when we say we put you first. Here are a few ways how:

We’re committed to pay transparency and fairness. The base salary range for this role is $100,000 - $144,000, which reflects the expected base pay – not the total compensation package. The actual base salary may vary depending on your experience, skills, and alignment with the position. We’re also open to candidates at different levels, so if this range doesn’t quite match your expectations, don’t let that hold you back — we’d still love to hear from you.
