Overview

Upvest is hiring a Head of Tax Operations to oversee the accurate calculation and reporting of German withholding tax. You'll ensure compliance with the German Investment Tax Act and lead the operational tax function. This role requires deep expertise in German tax regulations.

Job Description

Who you are

You possess a deep functional understanding of the German Investment Tax Act (InvStG) and the German Income Tax Act (EStG), specifically regarding Kapitalertragsteuer (KESt). You don't just know the rules; you know how they live within a banking ledger. Your expertise allows you to oversee the accurate calculation, withholding, remittance, and reporting of German withholding tax, ensuring full alignment with the latest BMF (Federal Ministry of Finance) circulars. Additionally, you have previous experience identifying and dealing with German tax implications on corporate actions.

You maintain a hands-on, solution-oriented approach to day-to-day operations. Your focus is on running and extending the operational tax function, ensuring that operational rigor and scalability are prioritized over perfection. You rise to challenges and aim high, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. You stay curious, learn, and celebrate wins together with your team.

What you'll do

In this role, you will lead the tax operations team, ensuring compliance with all relevant tax regulations. You will develop and implement processes for tax reporting and compliance, working closely with other departments to ensure alignment and efficiency. You will also be responsible for training and mentoring team members, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.

You will collaborate with external partners and stakeholders to ensure that Upvest remains at the forefront of tax compliance and operational efficiency. Your role will involve analyzing tax-related data and providing insights to inform strategic decisions. You will also stay updated on changes in tax legislation and assess their impact on the company's operations.

What we offer

At Upvest, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We celebrate diversity and believe that a diverse team leads to better products and services. You will have the opportunity to work with a talented team of professionals from various backgrounds, all dedicated to making investing as easy as spending money. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, along with opportunities for professional growth and development.
