THE POSITION

The international projects of our company result in a complex landscape of international personal tax compliance and payroll obligations. As a Global Mobility senior tax specialist, you will be responsible to help navigate our business and employees through this complexity. With respect to the Dutch tax matters, you will be the subject matter expert regarding the  wage tax, tax treaty, relevant tax base, payroll aspects and the application of the Dutch WKR.

You will be part of our Global Mobility team and will be working closely together with colleagues from Tax, Finance, and Payroll as well as external advisors to ensure full compliance. Your position will be in the head office located in Rotterdam.
