Tax Manager

Mission

Join us as a Tax Manager and become the right hand of Qonto's Head of Tax as we transition to a regulated financial institution. You'll own day-to-day tax management across France and internationally — corporate tax, financial services taxation, VAT, product tax, and multi-jurisdiction taxation and compliance — and become the internal reference on the topics that matter most as Qonto's tax footprint scales.

Responsibilities

As a Tax Manager at Qonto, you will

• Participate to the tax strategy set-up — identify and implement tax opportunities, ensure correct tax treatment is applied across the group, ensure the organizational set-up remains in line with the tax strategy.
• Assist Finance & Accounting teams on tax computation and tax accounting — supervise calculations, review declarations, ensure on-time declarations and liaise with external advisors.
• Coordinate tax compliance across Europe — partnering with the accounting team and local tax compliance advisors.
• Own product tax analysis — define applicable taxes treatment and reporting obligations for Qonto new products in France and abroad, and build the client-facing tax information that goes with it.
• Manage transfer pricing requirements, documentation, reporting and computation across the group.
• Be the bridge between tax and the rest of the company — work with Finance, Accounting, Product, and Legal teams; represent Qonto with tax authorities; manage external advisor relationships.

What you can expect

• Right hand of the Head of Tax — direct mentorship from someone who built the function from scratch.
• Extensive scope — from corporate tax to product tax, from France taxation to international taxation, with high exposure to digital and financial services taxation in a fintech becoming a regulated financial institution. Novel questions, real influence.
• Product tax ownership — shape the fiscal treatment of every product Qonto ships, in every country we operate in.
• International coordination — work with tax law firms, with real autonomy on how to structure the compliance setup.
