Finance & Operations Manager

About Outpost

Outpost is cross-border commerce infrastructure, built by veterans of Revolut, Adyen, Airwallex, and Wayflyer. We operate dedicated local entities across 58 jurisdictions, giving enterprise merchants access to local acquiring, alternative payment methods and full tax compliance through a single integration. We handle the local complexity so merchants can focus on growth.

We are building a local team in Turkey and are growing fast. This is a foundational hire for our Turkish operations.

The role

You will serve as the on-the-ground owner of Outpost's Turkish entity, responsible for keeping it compliant, financially healthy, and operationally sharp. This hands-on position spans accounting, tax compliance, day-to-day operations, and the local commercial side of our business: you will be the person in the room in Istanbul running how we sell, price, and serve transactions in Turkey. You'll collaborate closely with global ops, finance and commercial teams, plus external advisors including Turkish legal counsel.

What you'll do

Finance & Tax Compliance

• Own local statutory accounting, bookkeeping, month-end and filings under the Uniform Chart of Accounts and TFRS, including inflation adjustment where applicable

• Manage GİB e-Fatura and e-Arşiv invoicing and e-Defter ledgers, plus monthly VAT (KDV) and withholding (Muhtasar) returns, quarterly advance corporate tax, and stamp tax on contracts

• Manage relationships with local advisors, tax advisors and external auditors

• Monitor GİB, CBRT (TCMB) and MASAK regulatory updates and flag implications for Outpost and merchants

• Support transfer pricing documentation and intercompany compliance with the global finance team

Operations

• Oversee merchant onboarding processes for Turkish transactions, coordinating with global ops

• Own the local customer relationship for Turkish transactions, working with the global commercial team

• Manage local banking relationships and cash management for the entity, including TRY/FX conversion and cross-border remittance under Turkey's foreign-exchange rules

• Liaise with PSP and acquiring partners operating in Turkey (e.g. iyzico and PayTR) on operational and compliance matters, including local card and instalment flows

• Support commercial operations: contracts, local vendor management, regulatory correspondence

• Act as the primary local point of contact for regulators, auditors, and banking partners

What we're looking for

• 5+ years in accounting and tax compliance in Turkey, preferably in fintech, payments, or financial services

• Deep working knowledge of Turkey's tax regime, including VAT, withholding tax, stamp tax and inflation accounting

• Hands-on experience with Turkey's e-Fatura, e-Arşiv and e-Defter systems and the GİB portals

• SMMM (Certified Public Accountant) licence is advantageous

• Experience with the CBRT payment-services framework and Turkey's foreign-exchange regulations is advantageous

• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, internationally distributed teams

• Fluent Turkish; working English required for global team communication

Outpost is where the hard problems are. If you want to help build the engine behind global trade, we'd love to hear from you.
