Global Tax Specialist

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Global Tax Specialist to support the execution of our tax agenda across the EMEA and APAC regions. Based in Cyprus and working closely with our International Tax Leads for EMEA/APAC, you will play a hands-on role in delivering regional projects, keeping a fast-growing multinational footprint compliant, mitigating tax risk, and enabling new market and product launches.

This is a broad, high-exposure role: you will work across corporate income tax, VAT/GST, withholding taxes, permanent establishment risk and transfer pricing, in both mature EU markets and complex emerging-market jurisdictions.

Key Responsibilities • Project support: Support the International Tax Leads on EMEA/APAC projects — new market entries, product and payment flow launches, intercompany restructurings and entity rationalisation. Assess the corporate tax, VAT/GST, withholding tax and permanent establishment implications and translate them into practical recommendations for the business. • Compliance & reporting: Coordinate with external advisors, local finance teams and Accounting to ensure timely, accurate filings and reconciled tax accounts. • Advisory & research: Research local tax legislation, double tax treaties, permanent establishment thresholds and non-resident/digital service provider registration regimes. Monitor legislative change across the region — DAC7, Pillar Two, local e-invoicing mandates, digital platform reporting — and flag business impacts early. • Transfer pricing: Assist with local file and documentation gathering, review of intercompany agreements, intercompany invoicing and recharges, and monitoring of local transfer pricing compliance and filing obligations. • Audit & controversy support: Support local tax audits, information requests and authority queries by preparing documentation, reconciling tax positions and drafting responses alongside external advisors. • Tax accounting: Support current and deferred tax computations, uncertain tax position assessments and provision inputs for the group reporting cycle. • Process improvement: Identify opportunities to standardise and automate tax data collection, compliance tracking and reporting through ERP reporting, tax compliance management platforms and e-invoicing readiness.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise • Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Law or a closely related field. A professional qualification (ACA, ACCA, ADIT, CPA or local equivalent) is a plus. • Experience: 5+ years of dedicated tax experience in a multinational or Big 4 environment, with a strong EMEA and/or APAC focus. Hands-on experience with Cyprus tax (corporate income tax, IP Box, Cyprus VAT) and with emerging-market jurisdictions across Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia or South/Southeast Asia is a significant advantage. • Technical knowledge: Solid grounding in international tax concepts — withholding taxes, permanent establishment, double tax treaties, transfer pricing — together with practical indirect tax experience across EU and non-EU regimes, including non-resident digital services VAT/GST registrations. Familiarity with Pillar Two and platform reporting obligations (DAC7 and equivalents) is welcome. • Language skills: Professional fluency in English is essential. Russian and/or Greek is a strong plus; an additional EMEA or APAC language is welcome. • Systems: Prior experience with NetSuite, Workday or comparable ERP systems is a plus, and strong Excel/Google Sheets skills. Exposure to tax compliance management platforms (e.g. Loctax) is a plus. • Skills: Highly organised, proactive and comfortable owning multiple workstreams and deadlines in a fast-paced, remote-first, multi-jurisdiction environment. Clear written English and the ability to explain tax outcomes to non-tax stakeholders
