Job Description

Job Summary:

The Tax Counsel will serve as a trusted advisor to BD's global businesses and corporate functions, providing practical, business-oriented tax advice to support strategic initiatives, operational objectives, and growth opportunities. The role will partner closely with leaders across commercial, supply chain, procurement, manufacturing and operations, regulatory, quality, digital and technology, finance, HR, and corporate development to identify tax risks, develop planning opportunities, and support execution of key business priorities.

The successful candidate will advise on a broad range of U.S. and international tax matters, including corporate and partnership tax issues, legal entity structures, supply chain and operating model changes, intercompany transactions, and new business initiatives. The role will support mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, post-acquisition integrations, legal entity restructurings, and other strategic transactions, working closely with internal stakeholders and external advisors to deliver practical and commercially effective solutions.

This position requires strong technical tax knowledge, business acumen, issue-spotting capabilities, and project management skills, as well as the ability to communicate complex tax matters to non-tax stakeholders and influence decision-making in a dynamic global environment.

  • Significant experience advising large, complex public companies, including experience supporting SEC registrants.
  • Strong technical expertise in U.S. federal, state, and international tax matters, including corporate and partnership tax structures.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, legal entity restructurings, post-acquisition integrations, and internal reorganizations, including identifying tax risks, developing planning opportunities, and partnering with business and functional stakeholders to execute transactions.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify, assess, and address new and emerging tax issues arising from changes in law, business operations, supply chain, organizational structure, or strategic initiatives.
  • Strong business acumen with the ability to translate complex tax concepts into practical, business-oriented advice and influence decision-making by non-tax stakeholders.
  • Exceptional issue-spotting and analytical skills, including the ability to proactively identify risks and opportunities and develop practical solutions.
  • Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional projects, including defining scope, managing stakeholders, coordinating external advisors, and driving execution to completion.
  • Strong leadership skills, including mentoring and developing team members, fostering collaboration, and effectively managing differing viewpoints to achieve business objectives.
  • Experience managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, global environment while maintaining high-quality work product and attention to detail.
  • Demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement, process optimization, and operational excellence.
  • Strong aptitude for leveraging tax technology, automation, data analytics, and digital tools to improve effectiveness, scalability, and compliance.
  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with senior executives and external advisors.
  • Collaborative, proactive team player with strong relationship-building skills and a customer-service mindset.
  • Adaptable, resilient, and comfortable operating in a dynamic environment with evolving business, regulatory, and tax requirements.
