Corporate Tax Director

Description

The Corporate Tax Director will be responsible for leading all aspects of Hadron Energy’s tax strategy, compliance, planning, and reporting as the company transitions toward becoming a publicly traded entity. This individual will partner closely with the CFO, Controller, FP&A, Legal, and external advisors to ensure accurate tax filings, optimize tax positions, evaluate incentive programs (including energy and manufacturing credits), and support financial reporting under U.S. GAAP and SEC rules.

You will play a pivotal role in designing Hadron’s long-term tax infrastructure—supporting capital-intensive manufacturing development, multi-state and federal compliance, international expansion considerations, and strategic tax planning for commercial deployment of micro modular reactors.

• Research and apply energy, manufacturing, and R&D tax credits, including IRA incentives, DOE programs, and state-level clean energy incentives
• Monitor changes in tax law and assess implications for Hadron’s operations and strategic plans
• Develop internal processes, tools, and controls to strengthen Hadron’s tax governance framework
• Participate in entity structuring decisions to optimize tax efficiency across subsidiaries and project companies
• Ensure compliance with tax authorities, maintain documentation, and manage audits or inquiries
• Advise internal teams on tax aspects of commercial contracts, joint ventures, PPAs, and strategic partnerships
• Build and maintain relationships with external tax advisors, accounting firms, and government agencies
• Partner with the Controller and external auditors on tax provision calculations, ASC 740 reporting, and quarterly/annual financial disclosures
• Develop and execute tax strategy and planning to support Hadron’s growth, public-company readiness, and long-term manufacturing initiatives
• Support global tax strategy for potential international operations, licensing, or supply chain expansion
• Lead all aspects of corporate tax compliance, including federal, state, and local filings
