📋 Description

• As a Tax Manager specializing in Direct Taxes at Remote Technologies Inc., you will be instrumental in shaping and executing our global direct tax strategy. This pivotal role demands a blend of deep technical expertise, strategic foresight, and hands-on management to ensure robust compliance and optimize tax efficiency across our rapidly expanding international operations.
• You will take the lead in navigating the complexities of direct taxation in multiple jurisdictions, acting as the primary point of contact for corporate tax matters. Your responsibilities will encompass overseeing the preparation and submission of all direct tax filings, including corporate income tax returns, withholding tax returns, and other essential documentation, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• A significant aspect of this role involves close collaboration with external tax advisors. You will manage these relationships, providing them with the necessary information and guidance to support compliance efforts and ensure adherence to local tax regulations in each country where Remote operates.
• Proactive risk management is crucial. You will be tasked with identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential direct tax risks. This includes developing and implementing strategies to address these risks, safeguarding the company from financial and reputational damage.
• You will play a key role in managing tax audits and inspections. This involves coordinating responses, liaising with tax authorities, and working towards efficient and favorable resolutions for any queries or disputes.
• Beyond compliance, you will contribute significantly to tax strategy and planning. This includes providing expert advice on cross-border transactions, corporate structuring, transfer pricing considerations, and other tax-efficient planning initiatives that align with Remote's overarching business objectives and growth trajectory.

• This role offers the opportunity to mentor and lead a team of tax professionals. You will foster a collaborative and high-performing environment, supporting the professional development of your team members and guiding their day-to-day execution of tax-related tasks.
• Effective cross-functional collaboration is essential. You will work closely with various departments, including Finance, Legal, HR, and Operations, to ensure that tax considerations are integrated into business decisions and that all tax-related reporting and compliance activities are seamless.
• As a fully remote company, you will be adept at working asynchronously and independently, managing your workload effectively across different time zones. You will leverage technology and communication tools to maintain strong connections with colleagues and stakeholders globally.
• You will contribute to building a world-class tax function that supports Remote's mission to simplify global employment. Your insights and expertise will directly impact the company's ability to scale compliantly and efficiently.
• This role is ideal for an ambitious and detail-oriented tax professional who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and is passionate about international tax and contributing to the future of work.
• You will report to the Head of Direct Tax Compliance and be a key member of the Finance - Tax team, contributing to the overall financial health and strategic direction of the company.
• The position is fully remote, with a preference for candidates located in Western Europe, particularly the Netherlands, due to specific expertise requirements. This allows for unparalleled flexibility in your work location and schedule.
• You will be empowered to take ownership and drive initiatives, embodying Remote's core values of innovation and future-focused work. Your proactive approach and ability to default to action will be highly valued.
• This role is an excellent opportunity to make a significant impact within a rapidly growing, innovative global company that is at the forefront of revolutionizing international employment.
