Why Join Us:

At BIT, we tackle complex problems as a team. We encourage openness and promote transparency, respect, and inclusivity. Every team member is valued and has a voice that can be heard. We are always in search of intellectually curious and entrepreneurial individuals who are keen on making an impact in the crypto ecosystem and in building a better product for the next one billion users.

About the role:

• The Group has substantive operations and tax filing obligations across multiple jurisdictions in Asia (including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand), Europe, and select offshore/holding jurisdictions. Scope covers corporate income tax, indirect tax (GST/VAT/SST), withholding tax, and transfer pricing.


• Given the Group's digital asset business, exposure to the tax treatment of crypto/digital asset transactions (e.g. lending/borrowing, custody, trading) is highly relevant and a strong differentiator.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own tax compliance matters across the Group (tax filings, provisions, tax audits, WHT, GST/indirect tax), ensuring timely and accurate filings across all jurisdictions;


• Lead the development and maintenance of the Group's tax risk register, tax standards, and related governance documentation, and support their endorsement by senior management;


• Assess uncertain tax positions for Group financial reporting purposes;


• Manage transfer pricing matters across the Group, including preparing/reviewing TP documentation (Master File, Local Files), and defending TP policies under audit or review;


• Analyse withholding tax exposure across cross-border intercompany transactions (financing, licensing, services) spanning multiple jurisdictions;


• Draft clear, actionable tax positions and guidance for business stakeholders, and lead internal training/education sessions to build tax awareness across Finance and business teams;


• Liaise directly with internal stakeholders and external advisers (Big 4 and other tax advisers) on technical and compliance matters;


• Support ad hoc tax input into new business/product set-up, process improvements, and where relevant corporate transactions (e.g. restructuring, IPO readiness).

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Accountancy or related field, with relevant professional accreditation (e.g. ATA by SCTP);


• 7-10 years of relevant tax experience, with financial services tax experience strongly preferred;


• Strong technical grounding across direct tax, indirect tax, and transfer pricing, with a demonstrated track record of applying this across multiple jurisdictions and complex group structures;


• Experience with international transfer pricing (documentation, policy design, defence under audit) in a cross-border, multi-entity environment;


• Experience building or maintaining tax governance frameworks (tax standards, risk registers, SOPs) is a strong plus;


• Familiarity with cross-border information reporting regimes (FATCA/CRS/CARF) is a plus;


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical tax positions into practical guidance for non-tax stakeholders;


• Strong analytical skills with keen attention to both detail and the bigger picture;


• Self-starter, comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast-paced, start-up-like environment;


• Able to work independently while also being a collaborative, responsible team player.
