Job description

Regional RTR Manager (General Ledger - GL)

We're looking for a hands-on, forward-thinking General Ledger (GL) Manager to lead our accounting operations and play a key role in building our shared service capabilities. This isn't a "keep the lights on" role — it's for someone who loves driving change, leading teams, and improving processes in a fast-moving environment.

You'll oversee our general ledger and consolidation activities while steering finance transformation initiatives such as system migration, process optimisation, and the transition into a shared service model.

If you thrive in dynamic settings where you can make things better, faster, and smarter — we'd love to have you on board.

Why You'll Love Working Here?

• Be part of a finance transformation journey from the ground up
• Fast-paced, high-growth environment where ideas move quickly to execution
• Opportunities to shape the shared service model and build a legacy of operational excellence
• Work with passionate, driven people who thrive on solving real problems together

General Ledger & Consolidation

• Lead the full GL close cycle and monthly close processes, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timeliness
• Oversee group consolidation and ensure accuracy of financial statements in compliance with accounting standards (e.g. MFRS/IFRS)
• Drive standardisation and consistency across entities and regions
• Review journal entries, reconciliations, and intercompany transactions
• Lead statutory and management reporting cycles, including audit coordination

Finance Transformation & Shared Services

• Be a key player in transitioning GL and reporting processes into a shared service model
• Lead and manage system and process migration projects (ERP and automation tools)
• Build and implement best-in-class processes and controls that scale with growth
• Champion continuous improvement, using data and tech to streamline workflows

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of accountants and senior analysts
• Collaborate closely with FP&A, AP/AR, and business units to resolve issues and deliver insights
• Act as a trusted finance partner to management — clear, proactive, and solution-oriented

Financial Analysis & Insights

Deliver meaningful financial insights that support decision-making and performance improvement. Identify process bottlenecks and recommend practical, scalable solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline; professional qualification (ACCA, CPA, CA, or equivalent) preferred
• Minimum 7-10 years of progressive accounting experience across multiple countries in Asia, including 3+ years in a managerial role
• Proven experience in consolidation across multiple entities and jurisdictions
• Strong track record in project management, particularly in process transition, system migration, or shared service setup
• Familiarity with major ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite) and consolidation tools
• Excellent communication, analytical, and stakeholder management skills
• Strong leadership and people development capabilities
• Strong analytical skills with a continuous improvement mindset
• Resilient, adaptable, and comfortable operating in a fast-changing, high-growth business environment
• Fluency in English required; proficiency in other regional languages is a plus
