In three years, we’ve grown to 7M+ app downloads, 2M+ monthly active users, 7,000+ partner stores, and US$310M+ raised from top-tier investors.\nYou get real ownership from day one, high standards, and direct communication. You’ll work alongside a team that combines deep local knowledge with experience scaling regulated financial companies from scratch.\nAbout the role:\nSalmon operates across the Philippines, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi (ADGM), and our tax position has to hold up in all three at once. You’ll own that.\nYou report to the Head of Group Tax and work independently across corporate income tax, withholding and indirect taxes, international taxation, structuring, and transfer pricing. Transfer pricing is a core part of the mandate, but not the whole job - you’re the Group’s go-to technical voice on tax, full stop.\nThis is a hands-on seat for someone who can take a complex tax question, work it through alone, and land on a position the business can act on. You’ll work directly with the Head of Group Tax on live, cross-border problems that shape how Salmon expands - not theoretical tax exercises - with real autonomy and a direct line to the decisions your work informs, across finance, product, and tech.\nWhat you’ll do:\nResearch and resolve complex tax questions independently, and translate them into clear positions finance, product, tech, and commercial teams can act on.\n\nOwn tax compliance across corporate income tax, withholding, and indirect taxes - partnering with local teams and external advisors to hit deadlines and document positions properly.\n\nEvaluate tax implications of new-market expansion, holding structure and capital optimization, profit repatriation, and any future M&A.\n\nAdvise on permanent establishment risk, withholding taxes, indirect tax exposure, and treaty applications, including RMC No. 5-2024 on services performed by non-residents.\n\nCoordinate with external consultants to build a global transfer pricing framework covering intercompany service agreements, IP/tech licensing, and financial transactions.\n\nLead preparation of Local Files, Master Files, and Country-by-Country Reporting, and keep them audit-ready.\n\nManage benchmarking studies run by external consultants and confirm they’re applied correctly and kept current.\n\nPartner with Tech and Product on the tax implications of new launches and geographic expansion.\n\nLead technically during BIR or other tax authority audits, including transfer pricing, and build the defense file.\n\nMonitor intercompany transactions monthly and quarterly against transfer pricing policy, and confirm they’re properly invoiced and documented.\n\nWhat you’ll own:\nThe Group’s technical tax position across three jurisdictions - nothing routes around you on tax.\n\nTransfer pricing documentation and defense, end to end.\n\nTax input on every new market, structure, or product decision that touches tax.\n\nThe BIR audit relationship and defense when it comes.\n\nWhat makes you a strong fit:\n6-10 years of broad tax experience spanning corporate income tax, international tax, structuring, and transfer pricing, with a track record of owning complex matters end to end.\n\nBig 4 tax practice at Manager level, or in-house tax at a fintech, is the ideal path here.\n\nBachelor’s degree in Accounting or Law; a professional certification is a strong plus.\n\nDeep working knowledge of OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and BEPS 2.0, plus BIR and IRAS regulations.\n\nCan turn dense tax concepts into a straight answer a non-tax stakeholder can act on.\n\nComfortable owning ambiguous, competing priorities with minimal oversight.\n\nThrives founder-led and high-pressure, and builds process from scratch rather than waiting for one to exist.\n\nWhat we offer:\nOwnership and flexibility\nStock option plan - four-year vesting with a 25% cliff after the first year\n\nHybrid-first work environment\n\nCompany-provided tools and equipment\n\nOffice in Bonifacio Global City, Manila - a modern, walkable district at the centre of the Philippines’ growing tech scene\n\nHealth and time off\nMedical insurance support for you and your family through co-funding or reimbursement, depending on your location and subject to policy limits\n\nAccess to an internal mental health support specialist\n\n22 vacation days, Philippine public holidays, and 15 sick days\n\n105 days of paid maternity leave and up to 14 days of paid paternity leave for employees relocating to Manila\n\nRelocation and family support\nRelocation support for you and your family - including flights, two weeks of accommodation, visas, paperwork, and logistics\n\nReimbursement of eligible pet relocation expenses\n\nUSD 2,500 per year for flights home\n\nBaby and family stipends for employees relocating to Manila: USD 1,000 per month for each child under two and USD 500 per month for each child aged two to 18\n\nGrowth and team experience\nOpportunities to learn and share your expertise through internal expert meetups, external conferences, speaking opportunities, and industry publications\n\nCompany-sponsored trips to Manila to meet and work with your team in person\n\nRegular team offsites, sports activities, and team events\n\nHigh-performing teams can earn a dedicated beach house week in Southeast Asia\n\nWe believe strong teams are built by people with different backgrounds, experiences, and points of view. Salmon is an equal opportunity employer, and we make hiring decisions based on skills, experience, and potential.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5619,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Sports activities"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Philippines","iso":"PH","kind":"country"},{"name":"Uzbekistan","iso":"UZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Armenia","iso":"AM","kind":"country"},{"name":"Georgia","iso":"GE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Digital Banks & Neobanks","Consumer Loans & Pawnshops","Buy Now, Pay Later"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-18T19:59:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":12000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/salmon-tax-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/salmon-tax-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T21:39:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25228,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2207044},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2207044"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsalmon-tax-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsalmon-tax-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsalmon-tax-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/salmon-tax-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsalmon-tax-manager"}]}
