About the Role

As Uber continues to grow, our tax team also needs to expand to meet new business challenges. We are looking to add a motivated Tax Data Analyst with a positive, can-do attitude to our EMEA Tax Technology team.

The EMEA Tax Technology team extracts and interprets the tax data from our systems to enable informed business decisions. We are also responsible for monitoring the accuracy in our indirect tax systems, striving for full tax automation, and driving the vision for improved and efficient tax compliance of not only Uber but also of our partners (Driver, Couriers, Restaurants). This is very exciting especially with the upcoming changes in taxation of digital services.

Our team consists of a diverse group of individuals with backgrounds across consulting, tax, accounting, and analytics. We often have to employ unique approaches to solve mission critical challenges. 

If you are technically sharp, but have a thirst to learn more and frequently use phrases like “let’s do it”, “let’s try that”, and “we’ll find an answer” then you will fit right in.
