Job description

Drink More Water, together we grow.

Here at waterdrop®, we make drinking more water fun, convenient and most importantly, full of flavor! Discover the world of innovative hydration solutions with our fruity little cubes – Microdrinks – that save up to 98% plastic compared to drinks in 500ml plastic bottles and help score one for the planet. * Our centrally-located headquarters offers a vibrant environment, featuring an on-site gym and subsidised food options, not to mention the opportunity to connect with prospective colleagues from all over the world. With a successful online presence, 40+ stores around the world, dedicated B2B partners and over 22,000+ retail and branded stores, we can’t wait to take this journey to the next level – with you!

Your responsibilities at waterdrop®:

• Tax Compliance: You independently prepare the monthly tax returns (UVAs, ZMs) for our Austrian entity and its subsidiaries. In close cooperation with our external tax advisors, you also oversee the tax filings for specific international entities (e.g., Czechia and Poland).
• Financial Statements: You actively support and collaborate on the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements according to UGB and group guidelines.
• Cash & Payment Management: You take full ownership of our payment providers (such as Amazon Pay, PayPal, Shopify Payments) and handle the daily booking of bank transactions.
• Account Reconciliation: You independently reconcile these payment provider accounts, ensuring all transactions are cleared and discrepancies are resolved efficiently.
• Process Optimization: You continuously analyze our current accounting workflows, actively proposing and implementing solutions to make our international processes sleeker and more automated.

Your strengths and qualifications:

• The Credentials: You have successfully passed the Austrian Bilanzbuchhalter exam (WIFI, Akademie der WT, or equivalent) and bring at least 3 years of progressive experience in accounting.
• International Tax Know-How: You have hands‑on experience in preparing Austrian tax returns. Experience with foreign tax frameworks (ideally Czechia or Poland) is a distinct advantage. But don’t be shy, also apply if you’re willing to learn this!
• E-Commerce & Tech Savvy: You feel comfortable dealing with high-volume transaction data from payment providers and enjoy working with modern ERP systems and Excel.
• Analytical & Solution-Oriented: You work highly independently, have a sharp eye for detail, and don't just spot a problem – you actively bring solutions to the table.
• Team Spirit & Language Skills: You thrive in a dynamic, ambitious team environment. Since we operate globally, you communicate fluently and professionally in both German and English

What we offer you:

• A high-achieving, international community of waterdrop colleagues, located in a brand-new HQ in Vienna, Austria.
• Development opportunities in one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies in Europe.
• MyClubs sports vouchers, to have a sporty balance.
• In-house fitness centre.
• In-house company doctor.
• Monthly meal vouchers and subsidised food options at the office, making it easy to enjoy a meal or snack during your workday.
• Discount on your waterdrop purchases.

The minimum salary for this position is EUR 56.000 gross per year on a full-time basis. Depending on your qualifications, there is the willingness for overpayment.

We work in a changing world which offers great opportunities for people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We seek to attract and employ the best people from the widest talent pool because creating value through diversity is what makes us strong as a business and enables us to solve important problems and deliver added value.
