Teachable is an online platform that enables individuals and businesses (our “Creators”) to build, host and sell online classes (“Courses”). We generate revenue from subscription fees paid to us by our Creators and increasingly, this revenue is subject to sales taxes in the US and in other countries. In certain US states, Teachable is also considered a marketplace and is thus responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax on Courses sold through our platform. Having a strong understanding of tax law, and applicable solutions for collecting and remitting sales tax, enables Teachable to manage risk and provide a competitive advantage to our Creators. We’re looking for an experienced Manager who can assess the opportunities and challenges ahead of us and take the lead in crafting and implementing appropriate solutions.

In April 2020 Teachable was acquired by Hotmart BV (“Hotmart”), an online platform designed to enable people “to make a living from their passions.” Hotmart’s operations and customers are concentrated in Brazil, but the company is increasingly global in scope, with Teachable serving as its base of US operations. Hotmart’s investors include General Atlantic Partners and GIC (the sovereign wealth fund of Singapore). 

This role reports to Teachable’s General Manager and Hotmart’s Director of Global Tax and is responsible for managing a Senior Indirect Tax Accountant and an Indirect Tax Accountant. The Tax Manager will be a member of Hotmart’s Global Tax team with responsibility for all Teachable-related taxes. You’ll partner extensively with Accounting, Data, Legal & Compliance and Product and have the chance to influence decisions that directly impact the risk profile of our business. Your function is critical to our Payments related initiatives, the fastest growing part of our revenue stream. You should have an entrepreneurial drive and be proactive in identifying problems and solutions, be able to interact with people across a variety of disciplines and enjoy the freedom and flexibility (and responsibility) of defining the future of this function.

This is a full-time position, which can be either in-person or remote in the United States. If remote, this role might require travel to Teachable’s New York City headquarters on a quarterly basis.

Here's what you'll do:

• Own all aspects of indirect taxes on our services and on the sales of digital goods, including (but not limited to) US state and local sales tax and EU VAT, including tax due on Teachable revenue and sales tax collected and remitted under Marketplace Facilitator requirements on Courses sold on the Teachable platform
• Support the Global Tax Team on all aspects related to Teachable`s Corporate Income Tax
• Coordinate and ensure timely and accurate compliance with all sales tax obligations while working to minimize liabilities. Includes working with outside advisors to identify areas of nexus (including in the US as well as in other countries where Teachable may do business)
• Work with our accounting team to ensure that all tax liabilities and payments are recording accurately during month-end close 
• Assume responsibility for accurately reporting and remitting sales tax to the relevant taxing authorities on an ongoing basis
• In partnership with Legal & Compliance, research and analyze the impacts of sales and use tax law developments
• Partner with the Product team to research and identify tax software solutions that can be integrated into Teachable’s platform to facilitate sales tax compliance and tax efficiency
• Manage relationships with state sales and use tax authorities and coordinate interactions with outside advisors relating to sales and use tax and information reporting
• Maintain concurrent, audit-ready workpapers and financial records for all filings
• Hire, manage, develop, and mentor team members

Your qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of experience covering the above essential duties and responsibilities in public accounting or (preferably) in a combination of public accounting and corporate tax departments
• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Accounting, Finance, Legal or a related field. CPA and/or LLM in Tax preferred
• Strong knowledge of tax law, including familiarity with Wayfair's Marketplace Facilitator requirements and taxation of the digital economy
• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills and advanced level experience with Microsoft Excel
• Experience as a strong, thoughtful manager with an interest in mentoring and leading team members to the next level in their careers
• Ability to communicate tax concepts in “plain English” so that your insights can be turned into action by other teams
• Excited to work independently and chart your own course, while knowing when to seek guidance
• Willing to roll up your sleeves, be “scrappy” and thrive in a growth environment
