Join Vivino, the world's leading community-driven e-commerce platform, powered by personalization, with over 75 million community members. You will oversee all global tax matters, establish efficient processes, manage risk, and support cross-functional teams. This hands-on role is ideal for a senior professional looking to own the tax function in a dynamic, international consumer-tech environment. 

Extensive corporate tax knowledge and familiarity with US federal, state, and local reporting requirements
As Global Tax Director, you will work directly with senior leaders on high-impact matters across geographies, bringing real influence and variety to your role. You won't just be maintaining the status quo; you will be the architect of our future setup. Success in this role will be defined by your ability to stabilize and optimize our global footprint. Your focus will broaden to a general tax review across all our geographies, identifying risks and establishing a robust mitigation plan. This includes organizing our US Sales Tax and registration processes.

Beyond these strategic projects, you will own the day-to-day operations of the tax function, including:

• Drive the global tax strategy and contribute to enterprise-wide strategic initiatives, ensuring our tax planning supports our commercial goals.

• Facilitate and manage the preparation of company tax returns and the accurate, timely filing of all tax forms. You will plan and own the global tax calendar, coordinating with third-party teams worldwide to ensure seamless execution.

• Manage sales tax collection and remittance in the US using Avalara, and oversee VAT regulation and reporting across the E.U. and APAC.

• Act as the global subject matter expert on Transfer Pricing, overseeing policies and documentation to ensure appropriate allocation of taxable income by country and subsidiary.

• Ensure that financial statements, profit and loss (P&L) forecasts, and cash flow forecasts are accurate for all regulatory and tax line items, and actively participate in the year-end audit.

• Identify and implement opportunities to streamline the company's tax procedures, leading to more efficient and automated workflows.

• Manage relationships with third-party tax partners globally and collaborate closely with internal teams—primarily Controlling & Legal—to educate the business on tax matters.

   

This position is based in our Copenhagen office and reports directly to our CFO.

Pragmatic and commercially minded
While we prefer not to confine anyone within rigid categories, we believe you will thrive and succeed in this position as our Global Tax Director if you are naturally investigative and evaluative—you don't just accept numbers at face value; you dig deep into complex regulations and data to assess the best course of action.

You are highly structured in your planning, capable of bringing rigorous organization to our global compliance calendar. Yet, you remain flexible enough to pivot quickly when business priorities shift in our fast-paced scale-up environment. You are impactful in your delivery, able to command the room and influence senior stakeholders with clear, strategic insights rather than just technical jargon. Finally, you are sociable and collaborative. At Vivino, we believe that strong relationships drive better business results, so you must enjoy connecting with colleagues across borders, functions, and cultures.

Furthermore, we would imagine experience levels as follows:

• Extensive corporate tax knowledge, preferably with international experience, and a strong understanding of tax code, compliance, and procedures for corporations.

• 5+ years of experience in a Tax Manager/Director or Public Accountant role.

• Strong experience with a variety of tax operations and the ability to drive & execute process improvements.

• Familiarity with US federal, state, and local reporting requirements.

• Experience in e-commerce and/or alcohol-related taxation is a strong plus.

• Certifications like CPA, JD, or LLM (Tax)
