This full-time permanent role sits within the newly-formed Tax Function at Nuvei, a publicly-listed, global financial technology (FinTech) company. We are looking for someone who has the drive to help build a global Tax Function from ground up, and act as a key partner to the business. The successful candidate will have FinTech industry knowledge, as well as broad expertise in corporate income tax (CIT) especially transfer pricing and international tax planning indirect tax and operational tax information reporting regimes across the Latin America (LatAm) region. He or she will be able to integrate their FinTech industry knowledge with their broad tax expertise to advise on and design global FinTech service offerings.
This is an individual contributor role, so it is for someone who is hands-on and able to partner successfully with both Finance and non-Finance Teams across the LatAm region and globally. Although the short-term focus will be establishing and leading the Tax Function for the LatAm region, the longer term plan is for this person to take greater responsibility in managing additional regions and/or other global CIT initiatives. Therefore, the successful candidate must have the flexibility, curiosity and capacity to apply best practices learned in a LatAm context to a global and acquisitive environment.
This role reports into Nuvei’s Global Head of Tax and will work closely with other members of the global Tax Function, based out of Toronto, ON, and other members of the global Finance Function, primarily based out of Montreal, QC.
