Job description

Our Tax team is growing – and we are looking for you to join us! We value people who combine genuine passion for their work with a drive for excellence and independent thinking. Our culture is transparent, entrepreneurial, and collegial, and we are committed to fostering initiative and the long-term development of every member of our team.

This role is part of our in-house tax function, which oversees the tax affairs of our fund structures, acquisition vehicles, and investors, among other things. At the heart of the role is tax compliance across our diverse portfolio of funds and their affiliated acquisition companies – a responsibility you will own end-to-end and deliver to a high standard. You will report directly to our Head of Tax, working in close, direct collaboration with her on the international matters she oversees. Depending on your profile and interests, there is scope to take on increasing responsibility over time – for example, independently managing specific international topics or foreign entities.

Your Responsibilities

• Coordinating and managing our external tax advisors – ensuring consistent standards for the tax compliance of our fund vehicles and on-time delivery across all entities
• Independently reviewing and validating externally prepared tax returns for our fund vehicles (predominantly domestic partnerships), as well as the corporate entities within our acquisition structures
• Providing tax support for ongoing business matters – including distributions, notification and reporting obligations (Sec. 138 German Fiscal Code), and share transfers
• Handling tax-related investor communications and responding to investor inquiries
• Supporting entities through tax assessment procedures (tax notices, audits, appeals) and monitoring deadlines, working closely with external advisors
• Supporting the Head of Tax on international tax matters such as double tax treaty questions and German controlled foreign company rules (AStG), as well as the tax oversight of foreign structures and entities
• Contributing to the standardization, automation, and continuous improvement of recurring tax processes – including through the use of existing AI-powered tools
• Acting as a point of contact for management and other in-house functions, in particular Accounting

Your Profile

• A completed degree in business or law with a focus on tax, or vocational training as a certified tax clerk (Steuerfachangestellte/r) with a relevant advanced qualification (e.g., Steuerfachwirt/in), or a comparable qualification
• At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in tax, ideally with a tax advisory or audit firm focused on private equity or closed-end funds – or in an in-house tax function
• In-depth experience with partnership structures and co-entrepreneurships (Mitunternehmerschaften)
• Solid knowledge of German income tax law, along with initial experience in international tax
• A German tax advisor qualification (Steuerberaterexamen) is a plus, but not a requirement
• A structured, analytical, and meticulous way of working, paired with a hands-on mentality and a strong sense of ownership
• Strong team spirit and communication skills when collaborating with neighboring teams
• Openness to new tools and technologies, particularly in process automation and AI-supported ways of working
• Excellent written and spoken German and English

Why Us?

• Varied, high-responsibility work with direct insight into private equity structures and international tax matters
• An open culture and flat hierarchies – short decision paths and genuine dialogue
• An attractive, performance-based compensation package
• Modern workspaces and flexible working hours
• Extensive training and development opportunities – including support for part-time professional qualifications
• A prime city-center location at Munich’s Friedensengel, with excellent transport and public transit connections
