About the role
- Manage global tax compliance across all relevant jurisdictions, including VAT and corporate tax, ensuring timely, accurate filings and maintaining consistent documentation standards as the company scales.
- Lead relationships with external advisors and tax authorities, coordinating responses for audits, regulatory queries, and complex compliance matters to manage risk and maintain a strong control environment.
- Partner closely with R&D, Legal and FP&A to embed accurate, up-to-date tax logic into finance and billing systems.
- Provide proactive tax guidance for new market entries, product launches, pricing structures, and commercial partnerships, ensuring tax implications are considered early in strategic discussions.
- Define and govern tax data requirements, ensuring tax-relevant data pipelines are complete, accurate, and available for audits, reconciliations, and decision-making.
- Collaborate with Legal and FP&A on intercompany structuring, transfer pricing documentation, budgeting for tax liabilities, and long-term tax planning.
- Educate internal teams, build tax awareness across departments, and support stronger cross-functional decision-making by promoting a clear understanding of tax-sensitive areas.
Requirements
- Deep expertise in Indirect Tax (VAT), especially EU VAT rules, with 5–7+ years of hands-on experience across registrations, filings, audits, and cross-border advisory.
- Solid knowledge of global tax compliance requirements — corporate tax, wage tax, and international obligations — gained ideally in a multinational or fast-scaling environment.
- Practical experience developing or managing tax compliance processes and internal controls, including working with ERP/billing systems to ensure accurate tax treatment.
- Hands-on Transfer Pricing experience (3+ years), including TP documentation, benchmarking, intercompany agreements, and annual TP calculations.
- A proven track record of leading tax audits and managing external advisers, representing your company effectively and resolving complex issues.
- Experience with tax technology and automation tools (e.g., NetSuite, compliance trackers, VAT engines) and a desire to improve tooling and streamline tax operations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, capable of interpreting complex tax legislation and translating it into actionable, business-friendly guidance.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with a history of advising cross-functional teams such as Finance Ops, Product, and Legal.
- Demonstrated project management capability, with the ability to prioritize, sequence, and deliver multiple international tax initiatives within tight timelines.
- Fluency in English; German proficiency is a strong plus for interactions with local authorities.
