Build your future with Sovos.

If you're seeking a career where innovation meets impact, you've come to the right place. As a global leader, Sovos is transforming tax compliance from a business requirement to a force for growth while revolutionizing how businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

At Sovos, we're dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges – we're committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Our purpose-built systems provide the tools you need to thrive in a world where governments demand increased visibility, faster reporting and greater control over business processes. Excited about the possibilities? So are we!

Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes – apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

The Work You'll Do :

In this high-impact role, you will work closely with our clients and senior leaders across the business to understand the evolving needs of the global VAT compliance market. You and your team will use client feedback, regulatory insights, and market data to inform the long-term strategic roadmap for our VAT product suite, ensuring Sovos remains at the forefront of an increasingly complex and rapidly changing compliance landscape.

Product Managers act as the "voice of the product" to key stakeholders including marketing, sales, operations, and go-to-market leaders. You will work to ensure their unique needs are met and will lead your team to distil technical complexity into customer and business value. In turn, you will act as the "voice of the customer" to the Product and Development organisation, ensuring that these teams get the proper direction and support necessary to deliver valuable products. The understanding you will build of the broader VAT compliance market will allow you and your team to build and manage a product roadmap and backlog that delivers customer value and stays ahead of evolving regulatory requirements.

As a supervisor of other product professionals, your team will consist of Business Analysts and Product Owners responsible for building detailed product requirements, prioritising product backlogs, and driving the delivery of key functionality and compliance updates to your suite of VAT solutions. You will support your team members by sharing your experiences and expertise in product management and facilitate their career growth through coaching and cultivating a positive and collaborative team environment.

More specifically, you will :

• Lead a team managing a large segment of the Sovos VAT product portfolio
• Foster a collaborative environment for your team by encouraging the open exchange of ideas and expression of diverse viewpoints
• Develop and execute the strategic vision for our VAT compliance product suite, addressing e-invoicing, real-time reporting, and cross-border transaction requirements
• Leverage market problems and opportunities for your product area across a diverse set of thousands of customers operating in multiple jurisdictions
• Support the growth and development of your team through coaching and career development planning
• Develop a deep understanding of the VAT compliance buyer and user base to ensure your products are providing value
• Stay ahead of global VAT regulatory changes and ensure product roadmaps reflect upcoming compliance mandates
• Manage the definition and execution of the product roadmap
• Leverage the company's distinctive industry expertise in execution of our strategy
• Ensure optimal execution of product roadmap through the Agile Development process, including definition of Release Plans, epics, and oversight of Product Owners, business analysts, stories, and backlog
• Facilitate buy / build / partner decisions
• Contribute to marketing and go-to-market plans, identifying key initiatives and growth opportunities within the VAT compliance space
• Develop and track key performance indicators highlighting product adoption and user falloff

What We Need From You

• Bachelor's Degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, MIS, or Computer Science required, or a combination of experience and applicable education
• 2+ years of experience in product management, particularly in agile development environments; experience leading direct reports is a plus
• Background and experience building or launching B2B products with product-led adoption and self-service help tools (Pendo or ZenDesk experience a plus)
• Knowledge of or experience with VAT compliance, tax technology, or regulatory reporting is required
• Fluency in English with strong written and verbal communication skills
• Detail-oriented and extremely organised, with demonstrated ability to establish priorities and achieve results
• Very strong communication skills
• Solid decision-making skills in the face of imperfect data
• Ability to work well individually and within a cross-functional team
