• Internal Business Partnering: Act as the go-to expert for tax questions across various departments (E-commerce, Logistics, Retail). You translate complex tax laws into practical, clear business solutions.

• Audit & Monitoring: Lead active legislative monitoring to anticipate impacts on Decathlon. You pilot relationships with tax authorities and manage audits smoothly and confidently.

2. Accounting Mastery & Month-End Closing

• Continuous Improvement: Participate in cross-functional projects to automate financial workflows and digitalize our accounting processes.

We are looking for a curious and committed teammate, ready to grow with us. Your positive mindset and your technical expertise in taxation are what will make the difference. You can explain complex tax and accounting concepts to non-financial teammates with simplicity and ease.

You are organized and manage your priorities to meet important deadlines. With a strong team spirit, you collaborate and communicate easily with everyone. You enjoy continuous learning to stay up-to-date in accounting and on new tools.

Your Pace
