SumUp's Compliance and Control tax team keeps corporate income tax filings accurate and on time across more than 38 entities in Europe and Australia, protecting the business from compliance and governance risk. You'll sit at the centre of that work, preparing draft tax returns and supporting workpapers, managing a live compliance calendar, and coordinating directly with external advisors, while the Corporate Tax Principal owns the technical positions and final sign off. It's a chance to build real, hands on expertise across multiple jurisdictions from day one, working alongside a small, collaborative tax team that values clear communication over guesswork.
