Tax Specialist

TL;DR: You will join Lovable's tax team, working with our Head of Tax and Senior Tax Specialist. You'll take a hands-on approach to operational tax compliance for a rapidly expanding, multi-entity company, while supporting key tax accounting and filing needs. Tax and accounting are tightly linked in this role, so you need to understand both. This is a role for someone a few years into their career who is curious, precise and wants to learn how tax works in practice at one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world. Why Lovable? Lovable is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we’re just getting started. We’re building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world. Lovable is one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies and has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50 and CNBC Disruptor 50, reflecting our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies and one of the most ambitious places to build in this next era of software. What we’re looking for

• Tax at Lovable is a small central team covering everything from structuring and transfer pricing to tax accounting and compliance. This role sits on the operational side: the checks and controls that keep a multi-entity business compliant day to day.
• We are growing fast across the globe. Vendors, invoices, registrations and forms scale with us, and the work needs to be done right and followed through, whether it sits with us, accounting or external advisors.
• We don't want to solve the same question twice. A big part of the role is turning tax legal and tax accounting rules into processes, checklists and automations, so the right treatment is applied consistently without someone having to remember it each time. You should have
• 2 to 4 years of experience in tax, accounting or audit. Not straight out of school, but you don't need to have seen everything.
• A good understanding of both tax and accounting and how they connect: VAT on purchases and sales, withholding tax, intercompany invoicing, provisions and differences between tax and accounting treatment.
• A self-starter mindset. You ask why, look things up and don't wait to be told.
• Attention to detail and stamina for follow up with accounting, advisors and the business.
• An AI-first way of working. You reach for AI and automation by default and want repeatable processes rather than manual ones.
• Comfort working in a small team where things are not fully defined yet.
• Excellent English (our company language).
• Based in Stockholm or willing to relocate. What you’ll do
• Run our operational tax controls, which is the core of the role:
• Systematic and automated VAT ID validation on customers and vendors
• Withholding tax on outbound payments, including W-forms
• US sales tax exemption certificates and related forms
• Reviewing customer and supplier invoices and expenses for correct tax treatment and deductibility
• Keep track of our tax registrations and filing status across jurisdictions, including US states and foreign VAT.
• Support tax accounting: provisions, reconciliations between tax and accounting, tax notes and month-end and year-end deliverables.
• Support recurring filings with our external advisors: corporate income tax, VAT and US federal, state and sales tax.
• Be a first point of contact for accounting on tax questions and support the team on audits and ad hoc requests.
• Improve the processes you run, using AI and automation so recurring work is systematised, not manual. About your application Please submit your application in English. It’s our company language, so you’ll be speaking lots of it if you join. We treat all candidates equally - if you’re interested, please apply through our careers portal.
