Come join us today!

As a key member of the Finance Business Partner team within the Finance Division, you will establish strategic finance partnerships with both new and fast-growing businesses and core divisions across the Changi Airport Group. We partner with our businesses and divisions by delivering strategic financial insights, designing robust finance processes and controls and supporting stakeholders in data-driven business decision making that advance CAG's strategic priorities. If you are looking for a role that combines strategic influence, commercial structuring, and hands‑on impact, this is the place for you!

You will be expected to step beyond number‑crunching to translate financial data into insights that drive smarter business decisions. Your key responsibilities will encompass:

Strategic Business Partnering and Structuring

• Advising on optimal structuring of new ventures and business models, ensuring alignment with CAG's strategic direction, governance, and operational efficiency.
• Collaborating with startup leads to refine comprehensive business cases and business models, including developing profit-sharing frameworks and risk mitigation strategies.
• Support the review of contracts and RFPs (Request for Proposal) to embed sound financial provisions and commercially viable terms

Financial Planning and Performance Management

• Shift seamlessly from the big picture to the detail and back again, ensuring execution aligns with strategy.

Process Excellence and Financial Communication

• Design and map out end-to-end finance processes for new initiatives, embedding controls to manage identified risks.
• Evaluate and enhance existing finance policies and processes, contributing to cross-functional projects to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
• Tell a compelling story with data: turning financials into a narrative that drives action and wins buy‑in from non-finance stakeholders.
• Pair commercial acumen with strong communication, making finance accessible and building the financial capability and confidence of non-finance managers.
