The posting

Scholar Rock is delivering muscle-targeted breakthroughs to transform the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and other rare neuromuscular diseases where muscle atrophy remains a critical unmet need.

As a global leader in myostatin biology, a field focused on proteins that regulate muscle mass, the biopharmaceutical company is named for the visual resemblance of a scholar rock to protein structures. Our commitment to unlock fundamentally different treatment approaches is powered by broad application of a proprietary platform, which has developed novel monoclonal antibodies to modulate protein growth factors with extraordinary selectivity. Scholar Rock works every day to create new possibilities for patients through its highly innovative anti-myostatin program, including opportunities in additional rare neuromuscular diseases. Learn more about our neuromuscular franchise at ScholarRock.com and follow @ScholarRock on X and on LinkedIn.

  • Validate that tax determination, invoicing, reporting, reconciliation, and post-launch monitoring are operational before first commercial supply.
  • Support internal and external audit requests and maintain complete, audit-ready documentation.
  • Own international indirect tax requirements for ERP, procurement, AP, order-to-cash, billing, tax engines, and e-invoicing.
  • Define and govern VAT and GST determination, international indirect tax codes, condition records, decision logic, and tax master data.
  • Lead non-US indirect tax design, configuration, integrations, migration, testing, cutover, stabilization, and defect management as part of the ERP implementation.
  • Coordinate with the Vice President, Tax on indirect tax inputs / implications for direct tax, transfer pricing, PE, and withholding matters.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
