• Manage the Deemed Supplier regime, including monitoring seller VAT registrations and validating B2C invoice records for marketplace liability.
• Control source data from ERP and reporting systems to ensure accurate statutory reporting and weekly invoicing compliance for all business models.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Tech, Finance, Legal) on business expansion projects, contract reviews, and supplier onboarding.
• Provide day-to-day tax advisory on complex matters such as warehouse operations, customs, marketing compliance, andotherVATrelatedquestions.

Expected Qualifications

• Degree in Finance, Accounting, Law, or a related field; professional tax or accounting certification is highly preferred.
• Extensive experience in indirect tax (VAT) management, specifically within the GCC region and the e-commerce/marketplace sector.
• Deep technical knowledge of KSA ZATCA requirements and UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) legislations.
• Proven track record in managing large-scale tax technology projects, including e-invoicing implementations and ERP system integrations.
• Strong ability to analyze complex tax data and translate legislative changes into operational business requirements.
• Excellent communication skills in English; proficiency in Arabic is a significant advantage for managing authority relationships.
• Experience in handling tax audits and responding to complex inquiries from both tax authorities and marketplace sellers.
