Full Job Description
What do we do? Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better. We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 6000 software sellers in 245 territories globally. The Role: As a Tax Manager within Paddle's Tax team, you will play a central role in a complex and expanding tax function that is integral to Paddle's business model. With tax at the heart of Paddle's value proposition as a Merchant of Record, the team is recognised as a key driver of the company's overall strategy. You will report directly to the VP of Tax and will take ownership of tax accounting, reporting, and mixed compliance activities across the organisation. You'll work as part of a collaborative global team of 10 with the ability to draw on the support of other managers and analysts within the group to deliver outcomes across both direct and indirect tax matters. The ideal candidate is technically strong and growing in their autonomy, capable of owning tax processes end-to-end while building their profile as a trusted cross-functional partner. You will serve as a go-to technical resource across the broader business on both compliance and commercial tax matters, and play an active role in shaping how the tax function evolves. This role is to be based in London, UK, with the aim to be in office 1-2 times a week. What you'll do: The portfolio of work will vary depending on the experience of the candidate but there is opportunity for the right candidate to build a broad and varied tax role, which could include any of the following: - Taking ownership of tax compliance for Paddle across multiple territories, including all associated filings
