Why This Matters
- Deriv’s mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Millions of traders, across dozens of jurisdictions, around the clock.
- Tax compliance can’t bottleneck on manual processes. We’re building finance operations where AI handles the repetitive work and humans focus on judgment calls.
What You’ll Do
- Own multi jurisdiction tax compliance: Run direct and indirect tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Coordinate with internal finance teams and external consultants to ensure filings, payments, and reporting land accurately and on time.
- Deliver credible tax accounting: Own tax accounting processes—current tax, deferred tax, provisions, and disclosures. Work with finance to ensure tax balances are robust, defensible, and audit ready.
- Solve real tax problems for a moving business: Research tax implications of business activities, cross border transactions, and structural changes. Assess risks and develop solutions that are technically defensible and commercially workable.
- 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. Use AI tools and automation to reduce manual work.
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.
