Head of E-invoicing Compliance – Exciting E-invoicing & Tax Start-Up

Job Description

Our Client is looking for a Head of E-invoicing Compliance to become the trusted authority on e-invoicing regulation and indirect tax — internally and for their customers.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the heart of a fast-moving startup operating across multiple jurisdictions. You’ll shape how compliance supports product development, go-to-market strategy, and international expansion from day one.

The Role

You will act as the subject-matter expert on global e-invoicing and indirect tax regulation, translating complex requirements into clear, practical guidance for both customers and internal teams.

You’ll work cross-functionally with product, engineering, sales, marketing, and support — ensuring regulatory insight directly informs roadmap decisions, country launches, and customer conversations.

You will:

• Own regulatory workstreams for new country launches (2-3 to 6 month launches)
• Define and manage the regulatory roadmap for international expansion
• Build and continuously improve the internal regulatory knowledge base
• Create high-quality written content (guides, explainers, thought leadership)
• Represent the business externally where relevant (webinars, events, expert commentary) – The “Face” of E=invoicing for the company, for Prospects, Current Clients and internal Product teams.
• Explore and implement AI and tooling to improve the speed and accuracy of regulatory research

What Success Looks Like

Success as Head of E-invoicing & Tax Compliance means becoming the trusted compliance authority across the business — enabling faster launches, stronger customer confidence, and clearer decision-making as they scale internationally.

You’ll build a deep understanding of our product and customers, take ownership of regulatory workstreams for new market launches, and quickly become the go-to person for e-invoicing and indirect tax questions.

You’ll introduce structure and scalability to how regulatory knowledge is captured, maintained, and shared, ensuring teams can move quickly without compromising accuracy. Over time, you’ll define the long-term shape of the compliance function — building repeatable processes that support rapid international expansion and laying the foundations for future growth, including potential advisory services and team expansion.

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• 3+ years’ experience in indirect tax, VAT, or a closely related regulatory field (e.g. E-invoicing)
• Native or bilingual English
• Strong written communication skills — able to turn dense regulation into clear, actionable guidance
• A founder-level mindset: comfortable with ownership, trade-offs, and ambiguity

Nice to Have

• Experience with e-invoicing or e-reporting frameworks
• Comfort working alongside technical products (APIs, ERPs, billing systems)
• Startup or scale-up experience
• Experience applying AI to tax or regulatory research

Working Style

• Hybrid working model with regular in-person collaboration expected
• Flexible schedule focused on outcomes, not hours
• High-context, fast-paced environment where decisions are made quickly

Why Join

• A strategic, high-visibility role at the core of the company
• Global exposure across multiple regulatory environments
• High-growth stage with ambitious international expansion plans
• Real ownership and the opportunity to scale the compliance function from expert-led to team-led over time
