The posting

WE POWER PEOPLE’S PROGRESS.

At Preply, we’re all about creating life-changing learning experiences. We help people discover the magic of the perfect tutor, craft a personalised learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human-led, tech-enabled - and it’s creating real impact.

We’ve just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human-led, AI-enhanced learning. Today, 100,000+ tutors teach 90+ languages to learners in 180 countries - and we’re only getting started. As a category-defining company, we’re shaping what the future of learning looks like at global scale.

Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Preply’s indirect tax team is growing fast. The growth of the company requires additional compliance in new countries, moving our tax calculation onto a global tax engine, and building the control framework that goes with it. Our Indirect Tax Lead sets the direction. We are looking for a Senior VAT Advisor to turn that direction into scoped, documented and auditable delivery.

You will be the backbone of the roadmap: writing the requirements Product and Engineering build against, keeping every work stream moving, and making sure every tax decision is documented. This is a high-autonomy role. After an initial ramp-up, you will own the build-up to decisions and represent tax in conversations with the business.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Own and maintain the global indirect tax roadmap (EU, US, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia, India and more), with clear milestones and owners

- Monitor regulatory change (e.g. EU ViDA, US state nexus) and flag the impact on our roadmap and tax positions

- Write and maintain Tax Requirement Documents (TRDs): VAT/GST determination logic, tax engine integration, exemption-certificate handling, with full version history

- Turn advice from external advisors and the Indirect Tax Lead into practical requirements the business can implement

- Be the day-to-day tax contact for Product, Engineering, PayOps and Finance Systems, and validate that what gets built matches what was specified

- Coordinate external advisors, tax engine vendors and contractors across several concurrent workstreams, and chase open items to closure

- Keep clear, audit-ready documentation of tax positions, decisions and requirement changes

What we are looking for

- 6+ years of experience in indirect tax (VAT/GST/sales tax), in advisory, in-house, or tax technology

- Strong EU VAT knowledge, with enough grounding in other regions (e.g. US, UK) to understand advisor conclusions and translate them correctly. Deep expertise in every jurisdiction is not required

- Proven ability to turn complex regulatory or advisory input into clear, unambiguous, versioned documents (requirements, specs, roadmaps)

- Experience on long-term projects, not only one-off advice, and a track record of tracking multiple work streams and driving them to closure without reminders

- Hands-on exposure to an ERP (e.g. NetSuite, SAP) and a tax engine (e.g. Vertex, Avalara, Sovos). You do not need to be the expert, but you should know your way around tax codes and decision tables

- Very organised, with clear goals and outcomes before every meeting

- Credibility with Big 4 advisors and with technical teams, and the judgment to know when to escalate regulatory ambiguity

- A degree in accounting, finance, economics or law

Nice to have

- Marketplace, platform or e-commerce tax experience

- CPA, CTA or equivalent tax qualification

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
