Job Description

As the SaaS space expands, there’s more potential than ever for growing software companies.  

Having a great product is only part of the journey. B2B SaaS companies today face endless competition, live or die by customer acquisition costs, have to earn customer loyalty every day, need to operate across borders, and must navigate increasingly complex regulations.

You will report into our Head of Finance and will be responsible for indirect sales tax globally (45+ territories and growing) as well as Corporate tax, US Federal / State income Tax, Franchise Tax and more.  You will build on an efficient and robust tax compliance environment, designing and implementing a control framework as Paddle continues to grow.  The role will also be strategic, as you will need to stay abreast of an ever changing tax landscape and proactively ensure Paddle’s continued compliance.
