ABOUT THE TEAM
SumUp's European Tax team is responsible for corporate income tax and transfer
pricing compliance across 35+ entities — a function that sits at the heart of
the company's financial integrity and growth. As SumUp moves into a tax-payable
position and prepares for the next stage of its journey, the direct tax domain
has never been more critical or more visible. This role is the primary owner of
that domain: you'll design the compliance framework, ensure every filing is
accurate and on time, and build the controls infrastructure that underpins sound
tax governance. If you're looking for a role where your technical expertise has
real, measurable impact, and where you can shape a function rather than just
maintain one, this is it.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own end-to-end Corporate Income Tax compliance across all European entities
and Australia, including filing design, instalment calculations, deadline
management, and audit-ready documentation
- Lead the remediation of outstanding direct tax compliance items, building a
structured backlog register with risk ratings and a clear remediation plan
- Establish and maintain a 4-eyes quality control framework across all CIT,
withholding tax, Pillar 2, and Country-by-Country Reporting filings
- Build and maintain a master compliance calendar with jurisdiction-specific
workflows, ensuring the compliance cycle runs predictably and without
last-minute escalations
- Advise on complex direct tax matters — including transfer pricing, M&A
activity, and restructuring — and act as the primary point of contact for
Finance, Accounting, and Controlling teams
YOU'LL BE GREAT FOR THIS ROLE IF…
- Strong, hands-on experience in corporate income tax compliance across
multiple jurisdictions in a multinational environment, gained both in-house
and in an advisory capacity
- Deep knowledge of CIT mechanics, withholding tax obligations, and a solid
working understanding of Pillar 2 / GloBE rules and Country-by-Country
Reporting
- Ability to read, challenge, and discuss financial statements independently,
with a strong accounting foundation and familiarity with the interaction
between management accounts and statutory accounts
- Advanced Excel skills (PivotTables, VLOOKUP, Power Query) and strong ERP
experience, preferably SAP
- Comfort working in a fast-moving, evolving environment where priorities shift
and the ability to manage multiple jurisdictions simultaneously is essential
