Tax and Payroll Specialist

NativePath seeks an experienced Tax and Payroll Specialist to join our Operations Team! This role will ensure state and local tax compliance, process payroll, and stay current on tax registrations. If you are passionate about health and wellness, have a keen eye for detail, and thrive in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment, we invite you to contribute your expertise to our mission of guiding people on the path to eating, moving, and living in harmony with their biology.

Who are we?
We’re firm believers that the Standard American Diet is the pitfall to several of the preventable health conditions arising in our society today (including heart disease, diabetes, and neurological disorders). That’s why we created NativePath—a health & wellness company that blends Ancestral Wisdom with Modern Science to offer over 30 different supplements, monthly wellness challenges, and free courses to restore and reset people's health. Since 2017, over 1 million people have gotten “On The Path” with us and, by doing so, have reversed pain, renewed energy, and aged more gracefully.

We provide a rewarding, collaborative, and exciting work environment focusing on personal growth. Our leaders host weekly company-wide culture calls designed to foster team spirit, encourage movement, and build our community. In 2023, the entire company was flown to a ranch in Tucson, AZ, for team-building activities and had a blast while doing it! 

If the above resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you!
