Job description

Hi, we’re MoonPay. We’re here to onboard the world to the decentralized economy.

Why? Because crypto and blockchain aren’t just technologies—they’re tools for global financial empowerment. They give people control over their money, their digital assets, and their future, unlocking opportunities that traditional systems have kept out of reach.

What we do : At MoonPay, we’re building the infrastructure that powers this new financial system. We make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to buy, sell, and trade crypto using everyday payment methods like cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, Revolut and Venmo. We provide simple tools to send, receive, and manage stablecoins, so anyone can participate in the crypto economy confidently.

Trusted by nearly 30 million customers and over 500 companies, our secure, enterprise-grade platform is driving mainstream crypto adoption worldwide.

We collaborate with innovative brands and projects to build secure, scalable solutions for a blockchain-powered future. And we’re committed to doing it right—fully licensed in the U.S. and regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia—because trust and compliance are non‑negotiable.

But we’re just getting started. We’ve launched a consumer app that makes crypto accessible, intuitive, and usable for everyone, and it’s growing fast. We’re iterating every day to make it the best it can be.

If you believe financial freedom should be for everyone—if you believe in building a fairer, more open financial system, we want you with us. To build systems that benefit all, we need contributions from all, regardless of background.

Come build the future of payments and the decentralized economy with MoonPay. Let’s make financial freedom and autonomy the new normal.

About the Opportunity

MoonPay is building the world’s leading Web3 payments and crypto infrastructure platform, trusted by millions of users and global enterprise partners. As we prepare for our next stage of growth and IPO readiness, we are seeking an exceptional Head of Tax to establish and scale our global tax function. This role will be at the heart of managing the complex and evolving tax landscape of fintech and crypto — spanning digital assets, cross‑border payments, indirect taxation, and regulatory reporting obligations. You will partner with leadership across Finance, Legal, Compliance, and Product to ensure our tax strategy not only keeps pace with innovation but also positions MoonPay for long‑term success as a public company.

What you will do

  • Global Tax Strategy : Build and lead MoonPay’s global tax strategy to support rapid growth across multiple jurisdictions, balancing compliance, optimization, and innovation.
  • IPO Readiness : Drive tax‑related IPO readiness initiatives, including structuring, reporting, and Sarbanes‑Oxley (SOX) compliance, ensuring world‑class public company standards.
  • Crypto & Fintech Complexity : Lead tax policy and interpretation for digital assets, payments, and related financial products; advise on new products and features to ensure tax compliance and efficiency.
  • Tax Compliance & Reporting : Oversee direct, indirect, and transaction‑based taxes (including VAT, GST, withholding, and digital services taxes) across jurisdictions, ensuring timely and accurate reporting.
  • Transfer Pricing & Cross‑Border Transactions : Design and maintain robust intercompany transfer pricing policies to reflect our global operating model, addressing crypto and fiat flows.
  • M&A & Strategic Growth : Advise on tax implications for international expansion and acquisitions.
  • Risk Management : Monitor emerging global tax regulations, particularly in the crypto and fintech space, and proactively manage risks with regulators, tax authorities, and auditors.
  • Team Leadership : Lead a high‑performing tax team capable of scaling with MoonPay’s growth trajectory.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration : Partner closely with Compliance, Legal, Treasury, and Product to embed tax considerations into strategic and operational decision‑making.

About You

  • 12+ years of progressive tax related experience, ideally combining multinational corporate tax leadership with Big Four advisory experience.
  • Deep expertise in tax compliance, transfer pricing, international tax, indirect taxes, and digital assets tax (crypto, blockchain, fintech, or payments sector experience strongly preferred).
  • Demonstrated experience leading a tax team for a pre‑IPO or public company , with hands‑on involvement in IPO readiness and SEC reporting.
  • Strong working knowledge of payments, financial services, and regulatory frameworks for crypto and blockchains.
  • Proven ability to balance technical tax expertise with regulatory and commercial, product‑driven decision‑making.
  • Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and critical thinking skills with a keen attention to detail.
  • Ability to effectively prioritize and manage multiple projects in a deadline‑driven environment.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across various levels of the organization.
  • CPA or equivalent qualification required; advanced degree (LL.M. or JD in Taxation) preferred.
  • Values

  • B – Be Hungry
  • L – Level Up
  • O – Own It
  • C – Crypto Curious
  • K – Kaizen
