Job description

Lalamove is disrupting the logistics industry by connecting customers and drivers directly through our technology. We offer a lightning-fast, seamless way to book delivery and moving services—anytime, anywhere. While others talk about O2O, we live it.

As a leading global on‑demand delivery platform, Lalamove facilitates millions of orders daily through a vast network of delivery partners. With a global workforce of 1,500+ and continuing to scale at an extraordinary pace, we are seeking a Financial Controller to lead our international financial operations from our Hong Kong functional office.

The Role

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will be the strategic architect of financial excellence across all overseas markets. This is a high‑impact leadership role where you will move beyond traditional reporting to drive global financial strategy. You will lead a high‑performing international finance team, ensuring world‑class standards while identifying levers for process improvement and cost optimization. You are not just a guardian of the books; you are a strategic partner to our global business lines.

What You Will Do

• Global Financial Strategy: Direct the financial roadmap for all overseas markets, ensuring scalability and alignment with Lalamove’s global growth objectives.

• Operational Excellence: Oversee complex global financial operations, optimizing payment ecosystems for users, drivers, and corporate partners across diverse regulatory landscapes.

• Governance & Compliance: Maintain oversight of global statutory compliance and multi‑jurisdictional audits to mitigate risk in a fast‑evolving O2O sector.

• Leadership & Talent Cultivation: Mentor and scale a global finance organization, fostering a culture of high performance, continuous improvement, and technical mastery.

• Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary financial liaison between Functional Departments in Hong Kong and regional leadership, translating complex financial data into strategic narratives for executive decision‑making.

• Transformation & Integration: Drive the implementation of advanced financial systems and automated reconciliation processes (including payment gateways) to enhance efficiency.

What We Seek

• Global Visionary: A leader who understands the nuances of operating across multiple continents and can harmonize local execution with global strategy.

• Analytical Powerhouse: Ability to distill complex financial data into clear, strategic recommendations that drive business growth.

• Resilient Leader: Proven track record of leading multinational teams through change in high‑growth, high‑pressure environments.

• Influencer: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships across different cultures and departments.

What You Will Need

• Experience: Minimum 12+ years of progressive experience in Finance/Accounting, with at least 5 years in a significant leadership role overseeing regional or global territories.

• Education & Certification: Bachelor’s degree in Finance or Accounting; CPA/ACCA/CFA or equivalent professional qualification is mandatory.

• Background: Extensive experience in international audit firms followed by senior in‑house roles. Experience in Platform (O2O), Logistics, or Hyper‑growth Tech is highly preferred.

• Technical Mastery: Deep understanding of IFRS, international tax regulations, and multi‑currency consolidations.

• Systems Savvy: Advanced proficiency in ERP systems (Oracle preferred) and a strong grasp of automated payment gateway reconciliations.

• Strategic Acumen: Proven ability to manage cross‑border projects, improve global processes, and drive profitability.

• Language: Fluency in English is required; proficiency in other regional languages is a distinct advantage.
