Contract Finance Executive- GL (6 months)

Add expected salary to your profile for insights

ShopBack began in 2014 as a late‑night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, and the first prototype was built over a weekend with the other co‑founders. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We’re building The World’s Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.

The Contract Finance Executive in a Shared Services Team is responsible for executing and overseeing financial operations across multiple business units. This role focuses on ensuring the accuracy, timeliness, and consistency of financial transactions, reporting, and compliance within the shared services framework.

Key Responsibilities

• Financial Transaction Processing: Process accounts payable and receivable transactions across various departments in a timely manner, oversee invoice approvals, payments, and reconciliations for multiple business units, and ensure proper coding and allocation of expenses and revenue for each department or business unit.
• Accounting and Compliance: Maintain accurate financial records for all shared service activities, ensuring compliance with internal controls and accounting principles; assist with month‑end and year‑end closing activities for shared service‑related financial operations.
• Process Improvement and Efficiency: Identify opportunities to streamline financial processes across departments to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs; work with internal teams to implement best practices and automation solutions for financial transactions and reporting; develop and maintain process documentation to ensure consistency and clarity of financial processes.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Serve as a point of contact for finance‑related inquiries from other departments or business units; work closely with department heads and business unit leaders to ensure financial processes are aligned with overall business goals; provide financial insights and advice to business leaders to support decision‑making.

Essentials to Succeed

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
• Relevant professional certifications (e.g., CPA, ACCA, CMA) are an advantage.
• 0‑2 years of experience in a financial role, preferably in a shared services or centralised finance environment.
• Experience in the tech or financial services industry will be a plus point.
• Experience in Oracle Netsuite is welcomed.
• Strong knowledge of accounting principles and financial processes.
• Proficiency in MS Excel and other financial tools.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
