You won't just manage books — you'll build the financial infrastructure that enables international scale.

Partnering closely with leadership across the US, APAC, and EMEA, you will drive financial planning, compliance, treasury operations, and reporting across multiple jurisdictions — ensuring every market we operate in runs with precision and integrity.

Process & Systems

• Implement and continuously improve financial systems, controls, and reporting automation (ERP, BI tools)
• Establish scalable financial processes that support rapid headcount and revenue growth
• Champion data integrity across all finance systems and source-of-truth reporting

Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership

WHAT YOU BRING

• 7+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3 years in a managerial or senior individual contributor role
• Strong command of Philippine statutory compliance (BIR, SEC, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG) and international accounting standards (IFRS / US GAAP)
• Proven experience in a multinational or globally operating company — managing cross-border transactions, intercompany reconciliations, and multi-entity consolidations
• Advanced financial modeling and analytical skills; proficiency in Excel and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent)
• Experience with ERP systems (SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, or similar)
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present financial insights clearly to non-finance executives
• CPA license is required; MBA or CFA designation is a strong advantage
• High integrity, attention to detail, and a bias toward proactive problem-solving

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Competitive Base Salary:

Market-aligned and benchmarked against multinational standards in the Philippines. The actual base pay is determined by experience, qualifications, scope of responsibility, and internal equity.
