Tax Manager - Platform

What should you know about SKELAR? It's a venture builder — in other words, a company that builds companies. Together with founders, we create consumer businesses that become leaders in global markets across EdTech, Mental Health, Petcare, FashionTech, and beyond.

Our teams build tech products that win recognition from Product Hunt and The Webby Awards, earn thousands of glowing Trustpilot reviews, and reach over 10 million users worldwide. That kind of impact doesn't happen by accident — it starts with exceptional people, and our people are our top priority.

We've built an environment where expertise meets opportunity, and where there's no ceiling on what you can achieve. Now we're looking for the kind of people who don't just want a job — they want a challenge.

We are looking for an experienced Tax Manager to join our International Reporting and Tax Compliance team.

The primary focus of this role is indirect taxes — with an equally important emphasis on transfer pricing and involvement in group structuring projects. You will work closely with internal teams and external advisors across jurisdictions, with the opportunity to build and evolve the tax function as the company scales internationally.

The main functions of this role include:

• Own the Group's global indirect tax framework — ensuring consistent VAT / GST / sales tax compliance across jurisdictions, automating reporting, and leading expansion into new markets including registrations and scoping of obligations.

• Oversee and coordinate indirect tax compliance processes, managing the work of the internal team and external advisors who prepare and file tax returns.

• Lead indirect tax research across jurisdictions: review analyses, validate conclusions, and translate regulatory developments into practical actions for the business.

• Review and analyse intercompany contracts from a transfer pricing perspective, ensuring alignment with the Group's TP policies and the arm's length principle.

• Oversee the preparation and maintenance of TP documentation — controlling completeness, deadlines, and compliance across jurisdictions in coordination with external advisors.

• Review economic analysis and benchmarking to support intercompany pricing and substantiate TP positions, including during tax authority inquiries.

• Participate in projects related to the structuring of group operations — new market entries, launches of new business models, and reorganisations — providing tax analysis and recommendations.

• Assess tax consequences of proposed transactions and structural changes; prepare tax memos and position papers to support management decisions.
  

Skills and experience needed to join the board:

• 5+ years of experience in tax in Big 4 / second-tier consulting firms or international companies.

• Strong understanding of international indirect taxation (VAT / GST / sales tax).

• Hands-on experience with transfer pricing — documentation, contract review, TP policies.

• Experience with tax structuring projects or M&A tax analysis is a strong advantage.

• Ability to conduct tax research and translate complex regulations into practical business solutions.

• Strong analytical skills, commercial mindset, and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Strong communication skills; able to explain and defend tax positions with stakeholders.

• Proactive self-starter who can own projects and drive change.

• Upper-intermediate English or higher (written and spoken).
  

At SKELAR, we've built an environment where people can grow, build, and do the most meaningful work of their careers:

• SKELAR Platform. The operational backbone of our venture builder. It exists to help founders move faster and easier — so business teams can stay laser-focused on the product while 10+ specialized Platform takes care of everything else: Legal, Finance, HR, Admin, Talent Acquisition, Employer Branding, IT, and more.

• Networking and knowledge-sharing as a way of life. Our people include co-founders who've launched multiple businesses and some of the sharpest specialists in the industry. Whatever expertise you need, it's never far away.

• Learning programs you won't find anywhere else. We've developed our own educational tracks for teammates to choose from — a two-month school for first-time managers, intensive AI workshops, and professional clubs for engineers, product managers, and more.

• Meaningful impact in Ukraine. The SKELAR Foundation was created by our own people, and every employee plays a part in bringing important social initiatives to life. We founded Europe's first accelerator for veterans and are working to build lasting support structures for veterans at a national scale.

• Spaces designed to inspire. Our offices are places people actually want to be — with an in-house gym, a climbing wall, Bali-inspired green spaces, and libraries. Every detail, from service and security to comfort and design, is built to match the pace of our growing teams.

• Everyday comfort built in. Meals, gym access in Kyiv or a partial fitness stipend in Warsaw, health insurance, paid business travel where the role requires it, and corporate partner discounts.

We'd love to tell you more in person.
