Tax Manager

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Oversee group tax planning and ensure full compliance with all relevant fiscal laws—including transfer pricing, VAT, and other local taxes.
• Coordinate with external advisors on tax due diligence in the context of acquisitions, ensuring all deals are fully compliant and optimally structured for tax efficiency.
• Manage comprehensive tax operations including liability calculations, tax return filing with external advisors, and oversight of personnel-related tax matters—such as equity incentive plans, welfare programs, and fringe benefits.
• Stay updated on all tax legislation changes, identify new opportunities for tax optimization (such as patent boxes and R&D credits), and maintain effective communication with tax authorities and external advisors.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases. You identify and take care of the details that matter.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then, our priority is to put them in the ideal position to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects, too.
• Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Typically, we offer an individual at the start of their career a salary of £83,997 in the UK and €80,457 elsewhere. If they possess a few years of relevant experience, the salary on offer tends to be between £110,389 and £194,964 in the UK, and €105,737 and €186,748 elsewhere. Pay grows rapidly as you accumulate experience and translate it into greater impact. You can also receive some of your pay in company equity at a discounted price, thus participating in the value creation we achieve together. If relocating to Italy, you may enjoy a 50% tax cut.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location. We help each Spooner set up the conditions to do their best work.
