The Work You'll Do:
The Regulatory Liaison Counsel - ISVs and Embedded Partners will play a critical role in supporting and growing Sovos' global ISV ecosystem and revenue stream by engaging with the Sovos partner ecosystem and supporting their needs as they look to Sovos for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements in their solution portfolios and customer implementations. This position combines the expertise of a Regulatory Counsel, requiring deep knowledge and ongoing involvement in the processes of the Regulatory Analysis and Design Department, with the role of a liaison officer dedicated to facilitating partners' access to the broader regulatory function within Sovos. This role reports to the VP of Regulatory Analysis and Design.
More specifically you will:
Bridge the gap between Sovos' regulatory expertise and its strategic ISV partners, ensuring seamless integration of relevant compliance aspects of Sovos solutions in various markets.
Partner closely with Sovos functions managing the business and technical aspects of relationships with ISV partners to ensure satisfaction of partners' compliance needs within the scope of Sovos software solutions.
Maintain accountability for a 'regulatory helpdesk SLA' that allows Sovos partners to act with confidence, ensuring timely and appropriate Sovos regulatory input towards their customers.

Work continuously with Sovos Alliances, Sales Engineering, Product Management, and other relevant functions to develop and maintain a robust understanding of Sovos' partner ecosystem and the specific business processes and associated compliance needs that arise in that context.

Act as an integral part of the Regulatory Analysis and Design Department, internalizing contextual and factual knowledge that allows the Regulatory Liaison Counsel to act as independently as possible in their key role towards Sovos partners while also maintaining an excellent understanding of roles, responsibilities, and time allocation for partner support within the larger Regulatory Analysis and Design Department.
Support the VP of Regulatory Analysis and Design and their teams to ensure optimization of resources in support of all relevant Sovos functions and help them with time and resource planning towards that goal.
Explain complex tax rules in clear language for both tax and non-tax professionals, internally and externally.
