Your mission

• You are our single point of contact (SPOC) for all international tax matters . You keep all the strings together, ensure that we remain globally compliant – supported by our accounting team and external tax experts

• You work independently, act as a sparring partner for various teams, and oversee tax matters for our subsidiaries . You coordinate international tax advisors who handle registrations, filings, and declarations
• Transfer pricing? That’s your responsibility. Together with our external consultants, you develop and advance our TP strateg y, ensure implementation and documentation – and provide hands-on support to operational units
• Together with our sales team, you help shape our international tax strategy – especially regarding VAT and withholding tax obligations
• You also bring fresh ideas to our processes : you optimize, automate, and standardize wherever possible – and establish a group-wide Tax Compliance Management System (CMS)

You have also worked in an industrial company – experience in the software industry is a real advantage
