Jobs at Contabo (Now Hiring) — 13 open

Your creative field

We are looking for a Senior Tax Expert (m/f/d) to join our VAT core team (national and international VAT) on a full-time, permanent basis as soon as possible.

We embrace a remote-first approach, but you can choose whether to work in a hybrid model or entirely on-site, depending on your proximity to one of our locations (Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin).

As our new Senior Tax Expert (Tax Specialist) in the core area of VAT, you’ll have the important responsibility of dealing with indirect taxes while working in an exciting, dynamic, and international environment.

Become part of a team where everyone counts and serve as the central point of contact for VAT-related questions within our company.

With us, you’ll have a wide range of responsibilities:

• The focus is on indirect taxes and related compliance issues both domestically and internationally
• Preparing VAT advance returns—both domestic and international—as well as filing OSS and ZM reports
• Preparing and overseeing annual VAT returns
• Providing advice on VAT matters within the corporate group
• Optimizing and digitizing processes related to VAT law in collaboration with other departments within our company and external consultants
• Implementing e-invoicing both domestically and internationally
• Monitoring changes to VAT laws both domestically and internationally, as well as their implications for us
• Executing and implementing VAT-related projects both domestically and internationally
• Maintaining and improving the Tax CMS

Given our international client base, it’s important that you’re committed to continuous professional development, as tax conditions in the international arena are constantly changing and we, as a company, naturally want to remain compliant! In this context, you’ll also have access to a network of experienced consultants.

In addition, we’ll provide you with the opportunity to continuously develop your professional skills through targeted continuing education opportunities.

What convinces us

Your open, reliable, and service-oriented personality, combined with:

• substantial experience in tax consulting—for example, through several years of work at a law firm, a large tax consulting firm, or in a company’s tax department
• broad knowledge of value-added tax (VAT), with a willingness to continually expand this knowledge
• knowledge of VAT and income tax group structures
• strong self-management skills in meeting deadlines for filing various VAT returns and fulfilling other VAT compliance requirements in various countries
• Proficiency in using ERP systems to process VAT-related business transactions and accounting processes
• Strong teamwork skills, as well as an analytical, structured, and quality-oriented approach to thinking and working
• Very good command of German and English
• Proficiency in using various IT programs, such as Excel, Microsoft D365, etc.
  
  

What’s a plus (but not a requirement):

• Initial experience in the industry
• A tax consultant certification or a degree in tax administration

Awesome Prospects

At Contabo, we are constantly evolving. Even as we experience strong growth, we remain flexible, and everyone has the opportunity to actively shape the future of Contabo and that of our customers.

We also offer additional benefits:
