Trading‑Specific Compliance & Tax: Design and optimize cross‑border transaction structures, VAT compliance frameworks, and transfer pricing strategies.
Risk Mitigation: Establish robust internal control systems to manage credit risks, foreign exchange (FX) exposure, and working capital cycles inherent in high‑volume trading operations.
Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary liaison with European tax authorities, auditors, banks, and legal advisors to ensure the business remains compliant with all local regulations.
Candidate Requirements
Education & Certification: Bachelor's degree or higher in Finance, Accounting, or Economics. Professional qualifications such as ACCA, CPA, or CIMA are highly preferred.

Technical Skills:
Deep understanding of European tax laws (specifically VAT and Corporate Income Tax).
Strong grasp of the "three‑way match" (cash, goods, and information flow) in a trading context.
Soft Skills:
Languages: Native or professional fluency in English is required; proficiency in a second European language (e.g., German, French) is a significant advantage.
Competencies: Entrepreneurial mindset, highly self‑driven, and capable of navigating the ambiguity of an early‑stage international rollout.
