Our Journey
ShopBack began in 2014 as a late-night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, with the first prototype built during a 24-hour sprint. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We're building The World’s Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.
We are looking for an experienced Regional Tax Manager to lead and oversee all group tax matters at ShopBack. This role will be pivotal in shaping and executing our global tax strategy as we continue to expand rapidly across multiple jurisdictions, undergo changes in business models, engage in M&A activities and prepare for a future public listing. The ideal candidate is a forward-looking leader with strong technical expertise in taxation, coupled with the agility to navigate fast-evolving tech business environments. They should bring a balance of technical mastery, strategic thinking and leadership qualities while also embracing AI-driven tools and emerging technologies.
