I’m partnering with a consumer-facing fintech that’s scaling fast across Europe and beyond. They need a senior tax leader to run their in-house function, cut their effective tax rate and guide expansion into new markets and products.

Why this role stands out

• Total ownership: Shape the global tax agenda—corporate, operational, employment, VAT, transactional and transfer pricing.
• Direct impact: Every saving you make shows up on the P&L.
• C-suite access: Report straight to the CEO; influence strategy and board decisions.
• Build your team: Hire specialists and choose the systems and advisers you need.

What you’ll do

• Design and run the full tax framework—compliance, planning, reporting, controversy.
• Set and maintain robust transfer-pricing policies across multiple entities.
• Advise on new-country launches, product rollouts and M&A.
• Lead on OECD Pillar 2, DAC7/TRACE, CRS/FATCA and other fintech-specific rules.
• Embed tax logic into trading and payments flows with Product & Engineering.

What we’re looking for

• Senior in-house tax experience (Head/Director+) in a fintech, neo-broker, payments firm or digital bank.
• A track record of lowering ETR, delivering cash savings and owning audits.
• Deep expertise across direct, indirect, employment and transfer pricing.
• Comfort sparring with founders, regulators and advisors in a high-growth setting.
