• Maintain a centralized compliance calendar and tracking system for all incentives.
• Maintain complete and organized records of incentive agreements, compliance filings, and supporting documentation.
• Ensure readiness for audits, agency inquiries, and internal reviews.

• Monitor performance against incentive requirements (e.g., job creation, wage thresholds, investment levels).
• Identify potential compliance risks and escalate issues proactively.

• Support development and maintenance of internal policies, procedures, and playbooks for incentive compliance.
• Implement best practices for tracking, documentation, and reporting.

Who You Are:

• 4+ years of experience with credits and incentives, tax, economic development, or state and local tax (SALT).

• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional requirements.
• Excellent organizational and project management skills.
• Ability to synthesize legal requirements into operational processes.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple stakeholders.
