We are seeking a highly specialized Indirect Tax Professional to provide regional ownership and accountability for tax matters across the Gulf, with a primary focus on KSA and the UAE. As our marketplace operations expand, this role is critical in navigating heightened regulatory scrutiny, frequent legislative changes, and strict enforcement practices. You will lead strategic tax projects, ensure seamless e-invoicing compliance, and strengthen internal controls to mitigate penalty exposure in a high-risk audit environment.

Responsibilities:
• Lead and manage end-to-end indirect tax compliance, including filing VAT returns for multiple entities across KSA, UAE, Oman, and Bahrain.
• Manage the full lifecycle of the UAE E-invoicing project and monitor ongoing KSA ZATCA e-invoicing compliance and technical mappings.
• Oversee the UAE B2B2C transition project, ensuring accurate import VAT controls, P&L splits, and inter-group contract alignments.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for tax authorities, external advisors, and internal stakeholders regarding marketplace VAT rules.
• Manage the Deemed Supplier regime, including monitoring seller VAT registrations and validating B2C invoice records for marketplace liability.
• Control source data from ERP and reporting systems to ensure accurate statutory reporting and weekly invoicing compliance for all business models.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Tech, Finance, Legal) on business expansion projects, contract reviews, and supplier onboarding.
• Provide day-to-day tax advisory on complex matters such as warehouse operations, customs, marketing compliance, and other VAT related questions.

Expected Qualifications:
• Degree in Finance, Accounting, Law, or a related field; professional tax or accounting certification is highly preferred.
• Extensive experience in indirect tax (VAT) management, specifically within the GCC region and the e-commerce/marketplace sector.
• Deep technical knowledge of KSA ZATCA requirements and UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) legislations.
• Proven track record in managing large-scale tax technology projects, including e-invoicing implementations and ERP system integrations.
• Strong ability to analyze complex tax data and translate legislative changes into operational business requirements.
• Excellent communication skills in English; proficiency in Arabic is a significant advantage for managing authority relationships.
• Experience in handling tax audits and responding to complex inquiries from both tax authorities and marketplace sellers.
