Candidate Profile

You are a CPA or CA qualified finance professional with a minimum of 6 to 8 years in financial planning and analysis, gained within a multinational organisation with an Asia Pacific footprint. You are equally comfortable at business unit and divisional level, and you bring strong business, finance and commercial acumen alongside the technical depth to synthesise and interpret complex data quickly.

You have proven leadership capability and a track record of building and developing high-performing teams, and you operate effectively to tight timelines in a fast-paced environment of competing priorities. Technically, experience with TM1 and D365 is preferred and advanced Excel is essential.
