Tax Manager

About the role

Tax is a growth enabler, not a back-office blocker. We're looking for a pragmatic, business-minded Tax Manager to own our tax topics end-to-end and help us scale across markets with speed and confidence. The mission is to translate complex tax requirements into clear, actionable guidance for the business — ensuring compliance, optimizing outcomes, and building scalable processes while enabling bold, high-speed decision-making.

What you'll do

• Own day-to-day tax management across the group (e.g. VAT, corporate income tax, trade tax), partnering closely with Accounting and Legal.
• Lead VAT / indirect tax topics, including registrations, periodic returns, reconciliations, and improvements to processes and data quality.
• Coordinate filings and deadlines with internal stakeholders and external advisors, ensuring accurate and on-time submissions.
• Support month-end and year-end close (e.g. tax provisions) with clean, audit-ready documentation.
• Be a proactive business partner for cross-functional teams by assessing tax implications of new initiatives, contracts, promotions, and market entries.
• Drive scalable tax processes and controls, including documentation standards, templates, and tooling to make tax "self-serve" where appropriate.
• Monitor regulatory changes and translate them into practical guidance, training, and process updates for the organization.

What you'll need

• Excellent communication skills in both German and English.
• Degree in tax, finance, law, or comparable qualification (Steuerberater:in is a strong plus).
• 4+ years of relevant tax experience (in-house and/or tax advisory), ideally in a fast-growing B2C/D2C company in Germany.
• Strong practical knowledge of the German tax landscape. Familiarity with VAT / indirect tax topics in a European context is a plus.
• Experience working with external advisors and auditors; ability to manage timelines and deliver high-quality outputs.
• Confidence working with accounting data and systems + solid Excel / Google Sheets skills.
• Business-oriented, pragmatic mindset with a clear "get-it-done" attitude.

What they offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity to share in our hypergrowth success.
• Central office in Berlin Prenzlauerberg with flexible working hours and 28 vacation days.
• 30 work-from-abroad days, €1,500 learning budget, and Urban Sports Club membership.
• Public transport subsidy and biannual 360° feedback tied to compensation.
