About Stark

Stark builds the world’s most powerful electric motorcycles. From the VARG MX to the road-legal VARG EX & SM, our bikes have won world championships and are engineered to outperform anything with a combustion engine.

We’re based in Sant Boi, Barcelona, growing fast (77% year-on-year), and building a team that will take us even further. If you want to work on a product that people are genuinely obsessed with, this is it.

Stark will become the global market leader in premium motorcycles. Building premium motorcycles requires innovation and we need your help to make us succeed

Our mission is to lead the way towards a sustainable motorcycle industry, by reducing plastic and CO2 pollution.

This will be achieved by building sustainable products that are superior to traditional technology in terms of Performance, Emotion and Design.

The Role

Stark sells motorcycles across Europe, North America and beyond, with legal entities in several countries. That means a steady flow of VAT returns, intrastat declarations, withholding obligations and information requests, all on deadlines that do not move.

As Finance Intern, Tax, you support the team that keeps those obligations on time and correct. This is a learning role with real files attached to it. You will prepare returns rather than watch them being prepared, and you will see how a growing manufacturer handles cross-border tax in practice rather than in a textbook.

You will be mentored by the Finance team and work closely with our external tax advisers. Nobody expects you to arrive knowing Spanish VAT law. We expect you to be accurate, curious, and willing to chase an answer until the numbers tie out.

What You’ll Do

Indirect tax and filings

• Help prepare periodic VAT/IVA returns, intrastat declarations and other recurring filings for our Spanish entity, and support the equivalent obligations in our other jurisdictions.

• Pull and check the underlying data from Business Central, and investigate anything that looks off before it reaches a return.

• Maintain the filing calendar so that no deadline is a surprise.

Reconciliations and documentation

• Reconcile tax accounts in the general ledger and follow up on differences.

• Keep the supporting documentation for each filing organised and complete, so an audit or an adviser’s question can be answered quickly.

• Help maintain the records supporting transfer pricing and intercompany transactions.

Support and improvement

• Prepare information packs for external advisers and respond to their routine queries.

• Help gather evidence for tax audits and information requests.

• Spot the steps that are done by hand every month and propose a better way to do them.

What you will bring to Stark

• Studying towards, or recently finished, a degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Business or Law with a tax focus.

• Genuine interest in tax as a specialism, not just as a route into finance generally.

• Comfortable in Excel: lookups, pivot tables, and the habit of sense-checking your own output.

• Accuracy and a zero-defect mindset. Filings are either right or they are late.

• Strong written and spoken English. Spanish is a real advantage here, given the Spanish filings.

• Available to work on-site in Sant Boi, Barcelona.

Nice to have

• Exposure to an ERP, ideally Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

• Coursework or a prior internship touching VAT, corporate tax or statutory reporting.

• An interest in motorcycles, motorsport or the energy transition.

Why work with us?

• The chance to work on a product people are genuinely passionate about

• A fast-growing company with real momentum

• A creative, international team based in Barcelona

• A paid internship with a named mentor and a defined scope, not a photocopying job

• Exposure to tax obligations in five countries, which is unusual at this stage of a career

• Direct access to riders, race teams, and the product. This is not a remote-from-the-product role

• Subsidized lunch in our in house restaurant

• Free access to our in-house gym (including weekends!)

• A genuine conversation about a permanent role if the internship goes well and a position is open

At Stark, we don’t just accept difference—we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our products, and our community.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, neurodiversity, or disability, feels a true sense of belonging. We believe that diverse teams make better decisions and that a culture of equity is a prerequisite for innovation.
