Sample interview questionsHow would you establish a reliable corporate income tax compliance framework across numerous jurisdictions?I would begin with a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction inventory of legal entities, filing obligations, deadlines, owners, data sources, and external advisors. I would then implement a master compliance calendar, standardized workpapers, a documented review process, and status reporting that highlights upcoming deadlines, dependencies, and risks.

Describe how you would approach a backlog of unresolved direct-tax compliance items.

I would create a central backlog register that captures the jurisdiction, filing period, issue type, potential exposure, deadline status, required information, and accountable owner. I would risk-rate each item, prioritize matters with statutory exposure or penalty risk, agree a remediation timetable with stakeholders, and maintain clear evidence of completion and review.

What controls would you use to implement a four-eyes review framework for tax filings?

I would separate preparer and reviewer responsibilities, require standardized checklists and supporting workpapers, and document review sign-off before submission. Key controls would include reconciliation to statutory and management accounts, validation of tax adjustments, deadline checks, reviewer challenge of assumptions, and retention of filing confirmations.

How do Pillar 2 rules affect a multinational group's direct-tax compliance process?

Pillar 2 introduces jurisdictional effective-tax-rate calculations, data requirements, and potential top-up tax obligations that need coordination across tax, finance, accounting, and systems teams. I would establish data ownership, assess entity and jurisdictional applicability, document calculations and elections, and integrate Pillar 2 milestones into the broader compliance calendar.

How would you communicate a complex tax risk to non-tax Finance and Accounting stakeholders?

I would explain the issue in commercial terms first: the financial exposure, deadline, operational impact, and decision required. I would then provide a concise technical rationale, practical options with recommended actions, and a clear owner-and-timeline plan so stakeholders can act without needing specialist tax knowledge.

### About the team

SumUp’s European Tax team is responsible for corporate income tax and transfer pricing compliance across 35+ entities — a function that sits at the heart of the company’s financial integrity and growth. As SumUp moves into a tax-payable position and prepares for the next stage of its journey, the direct tax domain has never been more critical or more visible. This role is the primary owner of that domain: you’ll design the compliance framework, ensure every filing is accurate and on time, and build the controls infrastructure that underpins sound tax governance. If you’re looking for a role where your technical expertise has real, measurable impact, and where you can shape a function rather than just maintain one, this is it.

### What you’ll do

*

Own end-to-end Corporate Income Tax compliance across all European entities and Australia, including filing design, instalment calculations, deadline management, and audit-ready documentation

*

Lead the remediation of outstanding direct tax compliance items, building a structured backlog register with risk ratings and a clear remediation plan

*

Establish and maintain a 4-eyes quality control framework across all CIT, withholding tax, Pillar 2, and Country-by-Country Reporting filings

*

Build and maintain a master compliance calendar with jurisdiction-specific workflows, ensuring the compliance cycle runs predictably and without last-minute escalations

*

Advise on complex direct tax matters — including transfer pricing, M&A activity, and restructuring — and act as the primary point of contact for Finance, Accounting, and Controlling teams

### You’ll be great for this role if…

*

Strong, hands-on experience in corporate income tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions in a multinational environment, gained both in-house and in an advisory capacity

*

Deep knowledge of CIT mechanics, withholding tax obligations, and a solid working understanding of Pillar 2 / GloBE rules and Country-by-Country Reporting

*

Ability to read, challenge, and discuss financial statements independently, with a strong accounting foundation and familiarity with the interaction between management accounts and statutory accounts

*

Advanced Excel skills (PivotTables, VLOOKUP, Power Query) and strong ERP experience, preferably SAP

*

Comfort working in a fast-moving, evolving environment where priorities shift and the ability to manage multiple jurisdictions simultaneously is essential
