Global Indirect Tax Manager

JetBrains

Are you a tax professional who looks at complex global regulations and sees a puzzle to solve? Do you want to move past repetitive compliance checklists to build a global tax strategy from the ground up, owning your decisions in a place that values substance over corporate protocol? ABOUT JETBRAINS We create intelligent software development tools for developers and teams. More than 15 million users, over 300,000 companies, and 88 of the Fortune Global Top 100 rely on our products to solve real, complex problems. Our mission is simple: make development teams more productive and AI adoptable at scale. WHAT YOU’LL DO As our product reach grows and international tax laws shift, managing indirect tax requires deep context and real ownership. We are establishing a dedicated global indirect tax function to handle our footprint across multiple office locations and the dozens of countries where we sell products and host events. In this role, you will act as the core expert shaping our global VAT, GST, US sales tax, and digital services tax strategies. Reporting to the Head of Group Tax, you will take full ownership of designing scalable compliance processes from scratch rather than just maintaining inherited workflows. You will collaborate directly with legal, procurement, marketing, and engineering teams to ensure our systems handle new commercial operations, like e-invoicing and real-time reporting mandates, smoothly. Your judgment will directly influence how JetBrains navigates changing legislation and mitigates financial risks worldwide. DAY TO DAY, YOU WILL: * Lead global indirect tax operations, managing VAT, GST, digital services tax, US sales tax, consumption taxes, and customs duties across all global entities. * Design and implement end-to-end tax workflows for digital services, physical goods, employee benefits, and intercompany transactions. * Direct our response to ViDA, focusing on the deployment of electronic invoicing. * Oversee compliance lifecycles, coordinate registrations, and manage external service providers across international jurisdictions. * Evaluate and refine internal indirect tax controls and policies to support business growth. * Advise internal product and operational teams on the tax implications of new commercial initiatives. * Partner with technical teams to automate tax reporting and integrate compliance logic into our ERP systems. * Monitor international tax updates, assessing their impact and leading the necessary system changes. * Manage tax audits and direct communications with local tax authorities. * Train internal stakeholders across departments on indirect tax compliance practices. WHAT YOU’LL BRING * A problem-solving mindset that turns complex regulatory ambiguity into structured, clear processes. * The autonomy to make decisions and full accountability for the results. * Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex tax implications in plain language to non-tax colleagues. * Cultural curiosity when working with cross-functional teams spanning different countries and backgrounds. * A commitment to quality that avoids quick fixes in favor of stable, long-term operational workflows. WHAT YOU’LL NEED * Comprehensive experience in international indirect taxation, blending advisory or consultancy work with in-house operations for an international corporation. * Deep technical command of international VAT frameworks, including EU VAT application rules. * A proven track record of designing tax workflows or adapting business systems to new regional tax legislations. * Experience managing cross-border tax audits and dealing directly with regulatory authorities. * Fluency in written and spoken English. * A practical understanding of tax automation tools and ERP system integrations. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE Success means building a resilient global indirect tax function that keeps JetBrains ahead of international regulatory updates without stalling business momentum. You will earn the trust of leadership by translating shifting rules into reliable internal workflows, ensuring our e-invoicing and digital service operations remain compliant and fully integrated. Ultimately, you win when tax risks are minimized, internal stakeholders are unblocked, and our compliance processes scale invisibly alongside our products. WHY JOIN JETBRAINS?  * Strong base salary. We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience. * Flexible work location. Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office. * Remote work. Spend up to 30 days per year working remotely from abroad. * Extra time off. More days to relax, recharge, and do the things you love. * Medical insurance allowance.
