Job Description: Finance and Corporate Functions Lead

Location: Hong Kong

Role Purpose

We are looking for an exceptional, high-potential and commercially minded professional to work closely with the Board and senior leadership across a broad portfolio of corporate functions and strategic initiatives.

The role will provide oversight and coordination across key corporate areas including Finance, Legal, IT/Digital and other corporate functions, while driving cross-functional strategic, operational and transformation projects.

This is a unique opportunity for an intellectually curious and ambitious individual who wants to learn the business end-to-end, solve complex problems and progressively take on broader enterprise leadership responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with the Board of Directors and senior leadership on strategic, operational and cross-functional initiatives.
• Coordinate and drive priorities across corporate functions including Finance, Legal, Digital and other enabling functions.
• Lead special projects covering strategy, growth, investment, transformation, governance, operational improvement and organizational effectiveness.
• Translate Board and leadership priorities into structured action plans, clear ownership, milestones and measurable outcomes.
• Prepare high-quality business cases, financial analysis, Board papers, presentations and decision-support materials.
• Track critical initiatives and proactively identify risks, dependencies, decisions and areas requiring management intervention.
• Work with functional leaders to identify opportunities for simplification, digitalisation, automation, AI adoption and productivity improvement.
• Drive selected projects personally from concept and analysis through execution, rather than functioning purely as a coordinator.
• Build effective relationships across businesses and geographies, influencing stakeholders without necessarily having direct authority.
• Undertake ad-hoc strategic and operational assignments for the Board and senior management.
• Travel to Group locations as required and actively invest time in understanding operations, customers, commercial drivers and how the business works on the ground.

• Proven experience working on complex strategic, corporate, transactional or cross-functional projects.
• Strong financial and analytical capabilities with the ability to understand business models, investments, risks and commercial implications.
• Excellent project and programme management skills, with the ability to manage multiple high-priority initiatives simultaneously and drive them through to completion.

• Highly tech-savvy, with a strong understanding of AI, data and digital tools and the ability to identify practical opportunities to apply them within the business.
• Excellent written and verbal English, with the ability to communicate complex subjects in a clear, concise and Board-ready manner.
