## Job description

EBANX is one of the most successful fintechs to emerge from Latin America — and today, we are building a truly global payments company. Our mission has remained constant from day one: to unlock access and enable companies and consumers to participate in the digital economy, no matter where they are.

What started as a bold vision has grown into a platform that connects some of the world’s largest digital businesses with customers across 21 of the fastest-growing markets. We operate where complexity exists — turning local challenges into global opportunities, and building the infrastructure that allows payments to move further, faster, and smarter.

We are a team of builders and problem-solvers. We think globally, act with curiosity, and believe diversity of thought is a competitive advantage.

As EBANX enters its next phase of hyper growth, we are looking for people who want to shape the future of payments, expand what’s possible, and help connect businesses and consumers across borders. Let’s build what’s next — together.

Business Support and Commercial Expansion

As EBANX continues to expand, the Tax Specialist will also work closely with the business, supporting the tax assessment of new commercial opportunities, markets, and operating models.

- Conduct tax assessments for new business opportunities and markets, evaluating operating models, tax obligations, risks, and pricing impacts.
- Support the tax onboarding of prospective and new merchants, ensuring key tax assumptions are accurately reflected in the operational structure.
- Contribute to the continuous review and update of Pricing tax assumptions, considering country-specific requirements, products, business verticals, and operating models.
- Analyze tax matters related to new business projects and initiatives, supporting the Senior Manager in evaluating risks, opportunities, and structuring alternatives.
- Provide technical tax support to merchants and internal stakeholders, including scenario analysis, documentation review, and specific tax-related requests.
