At CloudKitchens, we’re reshaping the $500B global food delivery market by helping restaurateurs succeed in the age of on-demand. From Michelin-star chefs to household-name QSR chains, our smart kitchen infrastructure powers thousands of food businesses around the world.
We take underutilized real estate and convert it into delivery-optimized commercial kitchen space. In doing so, we unlock economic opportunity, bring new jobs to neighborhoods, and enable better food access for consumers—faster, more affordable, and more diverse.
Now, we’re looking for a Head of Indirect Tax (Europe) to lead our VAT and indirect tax strategy across a complex, multi-jurisdictional footprint.
This is a high-impact role for a technically strong and commercially minded tax professional ready to transition from Big 4 advisory into a fast-moving operating environment—while still playing at enterprise scale.
What You’ll Do
-
Own the end-to-end indirect tax function for the Europe region, covering VAT compliance, advisory, audits, reporting, and process improvement across dozens of jurisdictions.
-
Advise senior stakeholders on indirect tax implications of new product launches, corporate structuring, supply chain flows, and commercial agreements.
-
Lead relationships with external tax advisors and local tax authorities, ensuring effective risk management and governance.
-
Collaborate with legal, finance, and operations to maintain tax integrity across entity structures, contracts, and reporting.
-
Drive automation and process enhancement for VAT compliance, leveraging technology and shared services support.
-
Partner with the Global Tax Lead on strategic tax initiatives and play a visible role in shaping the tax roadmap for a high-growth, international business.
What You Bring
-
6–10 years of indirect tax experience, ideally from a Big 4 firm (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC) working with multinational clients in real estate, logistics, ecommerce, or supply chain-heavy industries.
-
Deep technical expertise in European VAT frameworks, with ability to apply that knowledge pragmatically in fast-paced commercial contexts.
-
A track record of managing cross-border compliance and delivering indirect tax advisory in a multi-entity, multi-country setup.
-
Experience working in-house is a plus—but not essential. We’re excited by candidates ready to make their first move from practice into industry.
-
Comfortable managing complexity and building from zero—this isn’t a maintenance role; it’s a builder role.
