Why This Role Stands Out
Thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced e-commerce environment where you'll own complex tax matters and drive strategic initiatives. This hybrid role is ideal for a seasoned tax professional with deep VAT expertise who enjoys collaborative problem-solving and shaping international tax processes. Join a company that values initiative and offers a rewarding career path.
Quick Overview
Job Description
ABOUT YOU is one of Europe’s fastest growing e-commerce companies. Based in Hamburg and Berlin, we operate at the intersection of fashion and technology. Our mission is to rethink online shopping and make it personal and seamless. This takes more than good ideas. It takes people who take initiative and challenge the status quo. We believe in flat hierarchies, direct communication, and pragmatic decisions. No long approval chains. Just ownership, trust, and clear responsibility. We work hard, but we also believe in enjoying the ride together - over team lunches, afterwork drinks, company events, or a quick coffee in between meetings. If this sounds like you, ABOUT YOU could be the right place to bring in your perspective.
- Independent management and review of VAT returns and Intrastat declarations for domestic and international entities
- Comprehensive assessment of complex (international) tax issues and strategic advice to functional departments regarding projects and new business models
- Active tax guidance and co-design in the harmonization of our SAP tax processes in alignment with the parent company's guidelines
- Reliable tax reporting and close, solution-oriented collaboration with internal cross-functional teams (Finance, Legal, IT, Business Units)
- Professional point of contact for tax authorities, auditors, and external tax advisors both domestically and abroad
- Successfully completed degree in business administration, economics, or related fields with a focus on taxation/finance; Certified Tax Advisor (Steuerberater) or a comparable qualification is desirable
- At least 7 years of relevant tax experience—preferably within a tax consulting/auditing firm or an international corporate environment
- Proven, deep expertise in national and international VAT law
- Experience with ERP systems (hands-on SAP experience is desirable) as well as a strong enthusiasm for process optimization, digitalization, and the standardization of workflows within corporate structures
- Strong hands-on mindset, a proactive drive for improvement, and strong problem-solving skills
- Excellent stakeholder management skills at all levels, along with business-fluent written and spoken German and English
