AI-Driven Growth Modeling & Strategy Lead

FOODPANDA SINGAPORE PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

foodpanda is seeking a finance & strategy professional to build end-to-end models turning drivers like basket size, order frequency and promotions into a clear growth narrative. You will own projections, ROI cases and scenario planning for new initiatives and store formats.

In this hands-on role, you’ll balance data with business judgment, collaborate across markets and functions, and translate outputs into actionable recommendations driving profitability.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years in strategy, consulting, investment banking or private equity, commercial finance, or modelling-heavy role.
• Deep Excel knowledge - build financial models and scenarios with logical assumptions.
• Hands-on use of AI tools to automate analytical work. SQL and/or Python is a strong plus.
• Structured problem solving: take a vague question and reach a defensible answer.
• Judgement to know when an estimate is good enough to decide on.
• Able to read and interpret financial documents and derive actions.

Responsibilities

• Own the numbers end to end. Build and maintain projections, unit economics, ROI cases and scenario plans for new initiatives, store formats and commercial levers.
• Break problems into levers and reconnect them. Size each driver individually, then wire them into a single output, so a change in any input flows through to contribution, margin or growth without manual rework.
• Pressure-test your own assumptions. Ground the model in real data, and be candid about which inputs are solid and which are educated guesses.
• Build workflows at scale. Deep Excel plus AI tooling - LLM-based automation, scripting, low-code - so recurring analysis runs itself.
• Turn output into a decision. Say what we should do, what it costs, what it returns, and what would have to be true for it to fail.
• Support budget planning and resource allocation discussions through analysis and recommendations to help meet growth and profitability targets
• Drive coordination, analysis, progress tracking, and follow-up for the company’s OKR process
• Actively engage and participate in key regular touchpoints: performance updates, financial reviews, budgeting & strategy, etc.
