We’re looking for a strategic and sharp-minded International Tax Advisor to join our venture-building team and take ownership of complex legal and financial structuring challenges across jurisdictions. You’ll work directly with founders, CFO, and legal to solve tax puzzles, optimize cross-border ownership structures, and support high-stakes decisions in a fast-moving Web3 environment.

• Act as the go-to expert for cross-border tax and structuring queries at the intersection of legal and finance.
• Develop creative, legally sound solutions for international set-up and compensation, holding structures, dividend flows, and relocation scenarios.
• Analyze corporate and personal tax implications across jurisdictions (e.g., UK, UAE, EU, USA and offshore).
• Perform deep research and create memos on structuring options; liaise with external legal/tax advisors when needed.
• Help design compliant compensation models using tools like smart contracts or advisory agreements with side letters.
• Support company setup, M&A, and new market entries from a structuring perspective.
• Become a core player in establishing this function — with potential to scale it into a dedicated unit with its own team and budget.

• 7+ years of experience in international tax structuring, corporate law, or financial/legal advisory.
• Strong track record in VC, family office, or private equity environments.
• Experience working with jurisdictions such as the UK, UAE, USA, EU and offshore structures.
• Solid understanding of both corporate and personal taxation (CIT & PIT).
• Demonstrated ability to navigate founder-specific cases (e.g. relocation, equity payouts, multi-jurisdiction income).
• Ability to work autonomously and deliver well-reasoned, actionable solutions under time pressure.
• Fluency in English.

• Our business is growing at an exponential scale.
• Non-bureaucratic management that focuses on results.
• Regular performance reviews to assess your progress.
• Remote setup with access to our hubs in Dubai, Yerevan, London and Belgrade.
• Compensation for medical expenses.
• Provision of necessary equipment.
• 20 working days of paid vacation annually.
• 11 days off per year.
• 14 days of paid sick leave to support your health and recovery when needed.
• Access to internal conferences, English courses and corporate events.
