Global Tax Manager, Flow, Dublin, $130k to $170k + great benefits + unlimited vacation

Flow is an API driven SaaS platform that helps e-commerce merchants scale their brands globally. By leveraging Flow, merchants can avoid all of the common sources of friction associated with international expansion. In particular, shipping internationally, calculating taxes and duties, executing on local pricing strategies and creating a truly local customer experience is costly and labor intensive. Flow solves these pain points by offering a multitude of international shipping options, local payment methods and localizing all aspects of the merchant’s site. The result is a next generation SaaS platform for global commerce that is fully configurable and pre-integrated with our global partner ecosystem. Flow focuses on the end consumer’s experience and maximizing the merchant’s conversion rates above all.

Flow was the brainchild of Rob Keve (CEO) and Mike Bryzek (CTO). Their shared vision to create a next-generation solution for cross-border eCommerce was the natural evolution of their roles as founder of customer experience pioneer Fizzback (acquired by NICE) and co-founder of eCommerce giant Gilt (acquired by Hudson’s Bay Company and sold to Rue La La). Flow is the solution Rob wished he had at Fizzback to show best practices in customer experience, and Mike wished he had at Gilt to generate international sales.

Flow raised Series A funding from Bain Capital Ventures, Forerunner and Fung Capital. Flow recently raised $37M Series B funding with lead investor NEA.
