Growth Modelling & Strategy Lead

foodpanda; Singapore; On-site; SGD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

foodpanda is seeking a Manager, Business Modelling & Strategy for Quick Commerce to turn a wide set of drivers into a cohesive narrative. You will own projections, unit economics, ROI cases, and scenario planning for new initiatives and store formats.

The role requires deep Excel, experience with AI tools to automate analysis, and familiarity with SQL or Python. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to guide budgeting, performance reviews, and growth initiatives.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years in strategy, consulting, investment banking or private equity, commercial finance, or a modelling-heavy role in a high-growth operating business.
• Deep Excel knowledge - ability to build financial models & 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: you can take a vague question and reach a defensible answer.
• The judgement to know when an estimate is good enough to decide on, and when it is not.
• Comfortable reading and interpreting financial documents, including country P&Ls and investment proposals, and deriving actions from them.

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.
