Ryt Bank, a digitally powered bank regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia, seeks a senior FP&A leader to drive planning, forecasting, and management reporting. You will own the five-year projections, maintain capital forecasts, and advance the Workday Adaptive Planning environment while partnering with the CFO and business teams.

Key duties include driving budgeting cycles, delivering monthly management accounts, and creating insightful dashboards for board and stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related discipline.
• Professional qualification in accounting/finance (ACCA, CPA, CFA or equivalent).
• Minimum 5–8 years of progressive finance experience with FP&A, financial planning, or management reporting.
• Hands-on experience with an ERP system (Workday, SAP, Oracle or equivalent) and a dedicated FP&A or EPM planning tool (Workday Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, or similar).
• Strong financial modelling skills with advanced proficiency in Excel.
• Experience in a banking, financial services, or regulated financial institution is strongly preferred.
• Experienced working in a start-up, high-growth, or early-stage financial institution.

Responsibilities

• Support the annual budget cycle end-to-end — coordinating inputs across the business, challenging assumptions, and preparing the budget for Board of Directors (BOD) approval
• Maintain the monthly rolling forecast cycle, ensuring all regulatory capital and liquidity thresholds are met at all times to safeguard the bank's operating license
• Own and continuously develop the bank's five-year financial projections, providing a credible and substantive path to profitability and graduation from BNM's foundational phase
• Coordinate the annual socialisation of the five-year plan with BNM, working closely with business teams to ensure projections are grounded in validated strategic assumptions
• Prepare scenario analyses and capital planning materials for shareholder engagements, supporting the CFO in capital raising discussions
• Continuously refine financial models to reflect the bank's evolving operating environment, funding position and regulatory requirements
• Produce monthly management accounts, executive dashboards, and board reporting packs
• Deliver clear variance commentary (actual vs. budget vs. forecast) — FP&A is the bank's source of financial truth and must proactively surface deviations before they escape
• Develop and enhance reporting frameworks and KPIs aligned to the bank's strategic priorities and foundational phase milestones
• Actively support the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of Workday Adaptive Planning as the bank's core FP&A tool
• Leverage Workday ERP and HCM data within planning and cost models, ensuring integrity across systems
• Identify and implement improvements to model architecture and automation capabilities within the planning environment
• Partner with business unit heads to provide financial insights that support decision-making, cost discipline and investment prioritisation
• Serve as the first layer of financial review for marketing and rewards campaigns — assessing commercial viability and calling out initiatives that risk poor returns
• Ensure the bank maintains disciplined management of Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and cost per retention metrics
• Support ad hoc financial analysis and special projects as directed by the Head of FP&A or CFO
