The Work You’ll Do

The EMEA Regulatory Analysis team for VAT, based in Portugal, Sweden, and Germany, offers interesting and challenging legal research work in a multinational environment within a cutting-edge information security and fiscal compliance space. With a team of seven regulatory counsels/specialists, currently with roots in Albania, Brazil, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, South Africa, Sweden and Venezuela, we enjoy cooperation and exchange with our fellow Regulatory Analysis teams in other regions. Together we provide the regulatory intelligence that powers our suite of products.

Our work includes global regulatory research within multiple jurisdictions, primarily relating to electronic invoicing and electronic tax reporting, which entails both tax and information security aspects. We monitor legislative and regulatory developments in our supported jurisdictions, and analyze the effects that any such changes could potentially have to our products and services. The Regulatory Analysis team works closely with Product Management to ensure that our products meet relevant legal requirements, and co-design future software solutions.

What are my responsibilities going to be, more specifically?

• Proactively and continually monitor legislative and regulatory developments concerning electronic document regulations, including e-invoices and tax reports, in different countries. These requirements are mainly related to indirect tax, accounting, and commercial legislation.
• Help determine the impact of regulatory changes on Sovos’ solutions and provide detailed, timely and accurate information regarding those changes to relevant colleagues, in order to implement such changes in Sovos’ solutions.
• Explain legal requirements in clear language for internal and external audiences e.g. by conducting workshops for relevant teams and customers, supporting customers by providing regulatory expertise, drafting regulatory documents and keeping the market informed through webinars and blog posts.
  
  

What We Need From You

• 0-2 years of experience in one or more of the areas of Indirect Tax Law, VAT, Accounting or ICT/Information Security/Data Privacy and legal aspects thereof.
• Degree in Law.
• Excellent command of spoken and written English. Additional language skills such as Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Arabic, Spanish or other is a great merit.
