Global Head of Tax

A career at Booksy means you’re part of a global team focused on helping people around the world feel great about themselves, every day. From empowering entrepreneurs to build successful businesses, to supporting their customers to arrange “me time” moments, we’re in the business of helping people thrive and feel fantastic.

Working in a rapidly growing and evolving company comes with its own set of opportunities and challenges. If you prefer a stable environment with fully established processes and structures, we want to be honest, you won’t always find that here. However, if you’re a driven self-starter who enjoys building structure, taking ownership, and partnering with the business in a fast-growing, global scale-up, then you’ll likely thrive at Booksy.

This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in complex, international environments and is comfortable balancing strategic leadership with hands-on execution as the tax function continues to scale.
