As the the first ever leader of Tax for this company, you will be trusted to build out the Tax vision, have influence on the big picture and report and serve as a trusted advisor to the Chief Operating Officer. Nordstrom Talent is excited to have been selected to partner with this innovative, growing company to identify this key leader that will help the company make sound strategic growth decisions.

“LIfe is NOT Work” is a quote from the CEO. This mindset coupled with a strong foundation of respect, clear vision, outlined expectations and accountability enables talent to actually accomplish the “Life is NOT work” concept which is no easy feat these days. We all know many companies say that. What’s different about this client is that the overall office vibe supports that statement – body language and facial expressions of employees, along with the dialogue with the leaders was energetic, light and very positive. The environment was best described as ‘refreshing’ from the view of a former HR leader who has worked in many corporate environments from start-up to Fortune 100.

Yes, you will work hard, but you will with a purpose, a plan and you will be surrounded with a strong team. TEAM is key! Politics and titles won’t fly here!
