Job description

Every year, billions of clothing items are produced but never sold. Much of this unworn fashion ends up in landfills - a massive waste of creativity, craftsmanship, resources, and investment. We're here to change that. As a purpose-led company, we use technology to help fashion brands give every item a chance to be worn. And we're proud to be a certified B Corp - recognised for meeting high standards of social and environmental impact, transparency, and accountability.

Otrium values a healthy work-life balance. We have adopted a flexible hybrid way of working, encouraging our team members to come to our open, spacious, plant-filled Amsterdam HQ at the waterside of Houthavens at least twice a week.

• Support tax compliance (VAT) by maintaining high-quality documentation and preparing workings for quarterly returns
• Own corporate income tax (CIT) return preparation and coordination.
• Coordinate the preparation of Transfer Pricing (TP) documentation jointly with our tax advisors.
