The Work You'll Do
Our work includes global regulatory research within multiple jurisdictions, primarily relating to electronic invoicing and electronic tax reporting, which entails both tax and information security aspects. We monitor legislative and regulatory developments in our supported jurisdictions and analyze the effects that any such changes could potentially have to our products and services. The Regulatory Analysis team works closely with Product Management to ensure that our products meet relevant legal requirements, and co-design future software solutions.

Help determine the impact of regulatory changes on Sovos’ solutions and provide detailed, timely and accurate information regarding those changes to relevant colleagues, in order to implement such changes in Sovos’ solutions.
Explain legal requirements in clear language for internal and external audiences e.g. by conducting workshops for relevant teams and customers, supporting customers by providing regulatory expertise, drafting regulatory documents and keeping the market informed through webinars and blog posts.
