<br><div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Job Description</b></h3>
<div><div>Most tax professionals manage filings. We need someone who rewires how a global fintech handles tax across jurisdictions&mdash;while the rules keep changing, the business keeps expanding, and manual processes keep getting replaced by systems that actually scale.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>This is an Individual Contributor role. You&rsquo;ll lead through deep technical expertise and cross-functional influence, not people management.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>Why This Matters</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>Deriv&rsquo;s mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Millions of traders, across dozens of jurisdictions, around the clock. Real money, real regulations, real consequences.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>Global trading means transactions in multiple currencies, regulatory regimes, and time zones&mdash;continuously. Tax compliance can&rsquo;t bottleneck on manual processes. Transfer pricing can&rsquo;t depend on spreadsheets that break when you add a new entity. We&rsquo;re building finance operations where AI handles the repetitive work and humans focus on the judgment calls that actually matter.<br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>Tax at Deriv isn&rsquo;t a back-office function waiting for year-end. It&rsquo;s a strategic capability that needs to keep pace with a business that moves fast, enters new markets regularly, and doesn&rsquo;t wait for approvals.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>Why Deriv</b><b><br>
</b><br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div>We&rsquo;re in production, not planning. Finance automation is already processing real transactions at Deriv&mdash;invoice orchestration, reconciliation engines, variance detection, fraud models running continuously. You&rsquo;ll join a transformation that&rsquo;s underway, not one waiting for a business case.
<br>
</div><ul><li>Full procurement-to-payment orchestration already live&mdash;requisition through reconciliation
<br>
</li><li>Document intelligence extracting and validating structured data from financial documents
<br>
</li><li>400+ internal users on our workflow orchestration platform
<br>
</li><li>AI-enabled compliance monitoring across legal and regulatory functions
<br>
</li></ul><div>We share what we learn. Deriv&lt;ed&gt; is where we write about AI in production&mdash;what ships, what breaks, and what we figured out the hard way.<br>
<br>
</div><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>What You&rsquo;ll Do</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div><b>Own multi-jurisdiction tax compliance</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Run direct and indirect tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Coordinate with internal finance teams and external consultants to ensure filings, payments, and reporting land accurately and on time.
<br>
</li>When a new jurisdiction comes online&mdash;and they will&mdash;you&rsquo;re the person who figures out what&rsquo;s required and builds the compliance framework from scratch.<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Deliver credible tax accounting</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Own tax accounting processes&mdash;current tax, deferred tax, provisions, and disclosures. Work with finance to ensure tax balances are robust, defensible, and audit-ready.
<br>
</li>When auditors question a position, your documentation and analysis should answer before you do.<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Solve real tax problems for a moving business</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Research tax implications of business activities, cross-border transactions, and structural changes. Assess risks and develop solutions that are technically defensible and commercially workable.
<br>
</li>The business won&rsquo;t wait for a perfect answer. You&rsquo;ll make calls with incomplete information and refine as clarity emerges.<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Handle transfer pricing and intercompany matters</b><b>
</b><br>
</div>Manage transfer pricing documentation, intercompany arrangements, and coordination with external advisors. Balance technical defensibility with practical business needs across borders.<br>
<ul><li>
<br>
</li></ul><div></div><br>
<div><b>Monitor, improve, automate</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Track tax law and regulatory developments across key regions. Identify business impact before it becomes a problem.
<br>
</li>Improve trackers, workflows, governance, and documentation standards. Use AI tools and automation to reduce manual work and raise the quality of monitoring. If you haven&rsquo;t built automations before, come ready to learn fast.<br>
<li>
<br>
</li></ul><p></p><br>
<br>
<div><b>Who You Are</b><br>
<br>
</div><div></div><br>
<div><b>You&rsquo;ve done this across borders</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Around 12 to 15 years of relevant tax experience. Strong foundation in corporate income tax, with exposure across multiple jurisdictions. You&rsquo;ve seen what breaks when tax compliance meets multi-entity complexity.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You&rsquo;re an all-rounder, not a single-niche specialist</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Working knowledge across direct tax compliance, indirect tax, tax accounting, transfer pricing, advisory, and tax risk management. You don&rsquo;t need to be the world&rsquo;s deepest expert in any one area&mdash;you need to understand how they intersect globally so you can perform critical review.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You manage external advisors, not just follow them</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>You know how to brief external tax consultants, challenge their advice when it doesn&rsquo;t fit the business reality, and extract maximum value from the relationship. You don&rsquo;t outsource your judgment.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You communicate with precision</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Strong written and verbal skills. You translate complex tax positions into language that finance, legal, and business stakeholders can act on. Your research is thorough and your analysis is sharp.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You build, not just run</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>Interest in automation, process improvement, and AI-enabled workflows. You see a manual tracker and think about how to replace it. You don&rsquo;t need to write code&mdash;but you need to think in systems.
<br>
</li></ul><div><b>You own outcomes</b><b>
</b><br>
</div><ul><li>When data bottlenecks threaten a deadline, you don't wait for permission&mdash;you proactively collaborate cross-functionally to unblock the pipeline.
<br>

</b><br>
</div>A combination of professional firm training and in-house multinational experience is ideal&mdash;but strong candidates from either route are welcome.

</div><div></div><br>
<div>This is demanding work. You&rsquo;ll own outcomes where the path isn&rsquo;t clear. Tax laws change. New jurisdictions arrive faster than documentation catches up.
