Sphere is using AI to codify the world's international trade law.

We currently help companies like Lovable, Eleven Labs, Replit, Runway AI, Windsurf (+ many more) automate their sales tax, VAT and GST compliance:

• We're growing rapidly (30%+ MoM revenue growth) and helping the fastest growing tech companies around the world including Lovable, Eleven Labs, Replit, Windsurf, Deel, Linktree, Fal, Sierra AI etc
• We've spent the last 2 years building local rails into 100+ tax authorities across the world to properly automate compliance processes (no other vendor has done this)
• We're building the world's first AI-native tax engine (which will be the foundation for a broader cross border compliance platform; think Deel for revenue-based compliance)
• We're well funded by a16z, YC, 20vc and Felicis Ventures.

We're looking for a swiss army knife / Chief of Staff to work directly with our CEO at Sphere!

Why this is a massive opportunity

Massive TAM: Every business around the world needs this. Compliance isn't optional.

🌬 Strong macro tailwinds: Businesses are expanding globally at a faster pace, while tax authorities are cracking down on cross-border compliance, driving urgent demand.

AI advantage: Incumbents can't scale beyond the U.S.; our AI-native tax engine can.

🔮 Multi product play: Indirect tax is just the start; we're building a compound startup that helps business with all forms of revenue-based compliance.
