Europe

As Senior Tax & Filings Specialist for EMEA, you are the statutory compliance expert for Multiplier's highest-priority European markets — the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands. You own every payroll tax filing, every statutory remittance, and every proof of payment for these countries from end to end. You are not a support function. You are the accountable expert.

You will be one of the founding members of a team being built from scratch as part of Multiplier's Payroll Centre of Excellence. This means real ownership, real visibility with leadership, and the opportunity to shape how statutory compliance is managed at a fast-growing global employment platform.

Your day-to-day involves validating statutory calculations before payroll runs, submitting PAYE RTI returns to HMRC, filing ELSTER submissions to the German Finanzamt, managing Dutch Loonheffingen declarations to Belastingdienst, conducting three-way reconciliations after every cycle, managing tax notices when they arise, and staying continuously ahead of legislative changes across your region.

If you are someone who cares deeply about getting statutory compliance right, thrives on complexity, and wants to work in an environment where your expertise genuinely matters — this is the role for you.

While the Kep responsibilities will primary involve setting up the foundation for the Taxes and Filings vertical, it will also become your responsibility to convert this into an auto pilot process, where we ensure zero people driven activities and convert these into a highly efficient process driven vertical.

• Statutory precision — you understand that in tax compliance, a 1% error rate is not acceptable. Your standard is zero errors, and you operate accordingly.
  • Proactive mindset — you do not wait to be told about a legislative change. You find it, assess its impact, and act on it before anyone asks.
  • Structured and process-driven — you follow the SOP, maintain the checklist, and document everything. You do not rely on memory or informal workarounds.
  • Clear written communication — you can draft a response to an HMRC notice, update a country playbook, and brief a non-specialist stakeholder on a complex statutory issue with equal clarity.
  • Comfortable under pressure — payroll deadlines are non-negotiable, and you thrive in environments where that is understood.
  • Collaborative — you work closely with Global Payroll Ops, EoR Ops, Finance, and Legal, and you communicate proactively when an issue crosses into their remit.
• Technical Skills
  • Proficiency with HMRC's PAYE tools, RTI filing software, and HMRC Online Services — direct hands‑on experience submitting RTI returns and managing PAYE liabilities.
  • Experience with ELSTER online platform for German Lohnsteuer and social insurance reporting.
  • Familiarity with Dutch Belastingdienst online portal for Loonheffingen submissions.
  • Excel proficiency for reconciliation work — VLOOKUP, SUMIF, pivot tables, cross‑referencing large payroll datasets.
  • Experience with payroll software — ADP, Workday, SAP Success Factors, Ramco, or equivalent — particularly for statutory reporting exports.
  • Familiarity with Zendesk or similar case management tools for notice and escalation tracking.
• Nice to Have
  • Experience working within a Centre of Excellence, shared services, or a structured compliance governance framework.
  • Knowledge of additional EMEA markets — France (DSN, URSSAF), Spain (Seguridad Social), Ireland (PAYE Modernisation), Sweden, or UAE.
  • Familiarity with EU Pay Transparency Directive requirements and their payroll implications.
  • Experience in an EoR, global employment platform, or HR…
