Full Job Posting
Job Description
- Most tax professionals manage filings. We need someone who rewires how a global fintech handles tax across jurisdictions.
- This is an Individual Contributor role. You’ll lead through deep technical expertise and cross functional influence, not people management.
- Deriv’s mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime.
Why Deriv
- Finance automation is already processing real transactions at Deriv—invoice orchestration, reconciliation engines, variance detection, fraud models running continuously.
- Full procurement to payment orchestration already live.
- Document intelligence extracting and validating structured data from financial documents.
- 400+ internal users on our workflow orchestration platform.
- AI enabled compliance monitoring across legal and regulatory functions.
What You’ll Do

- Deliver credible tax accounting: Own tax accounting processes—current tax, deferred tax, provisions, and disclosures.
- Solve real tax problems for a moving business: Research tax implications of business activities, cross border transactions, and structural changes.
- Handle Transfer Pricing And Intercompany Matters: Manage transfer pricing documentation, intercompany arrangements, and coordination with external advisors.
- Monitor, improve, automate: Track tax law and regulatory developments across key regions. Improve trackers, workflows, governance, and documentation standards using AI tools and automation.
Who You Are
- Around 12 to 15 years of relevant tax experience. Strong foundation in corporate income tax, with exposure across multiple jurisdictions.
- Working knowledge across direct tax compliance, indirect tax, tax accounting, transfer pricing, advisory, and tax risk management.
- You manage external advisors, not just follow them.
- You communicate with precision: Strong written and verbal skills.
- You build, not just run: Interest in automation, process improvement, and AI enabled workflows.
- You own outcomes: Proactively collaborate cross functionally to unblock the pipeline.
- A combination of professional firm training and in house multinational experience is ideal.
The Honest Reality

- The team is lean, which means broad responsibilities and high visibility.
- You’ll define what tax operations look like when AI handles the routine.
