Head of Tax – Remote-First

🚀 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays

In today’s digital world, payments often still feel outdated: random delays and confusing rules make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid. The European Payments Initiative (EPI) is here to change all that, forever.

With Wero, our digital wallet, we make sending and receiving money simple, seamless and secure across France, Belgium Germany and The Netherlands, with more countries and omnichannel solutions coming soon. Supported by 16 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, EPI is building a new, proudly European payment system: easy, instant and transparent, all for the greater good.

🔎 What's in it for you

• Tired of working in highly fragmented tax environments with heavy legacy constraints? At EPI, you’ll help build a tax framework from the ground up in a fast-scaling fintech

• Want to move beyond pure compliance into strategic impact? This role combines tax structuring, advisory and business partnership in a pan-European setup

At EPI, we embrace a remote-first culture, enabling our teams to work remotely from the country they are based in, with in-person meetings at least once a quarter to foster collaboration and connection.
