- Develop best-case, base-case, and downside scenarios for strategic decision-making.
- Evaluate new projects, partnerships, market-entry opportunities, and investment proposals.

- Proven track record of delivering financial insights that influenced major business decisions.
- Strong commercial judgement with the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders constructively.
- Excellent analytical, presentation, communication, and data-storytelling skills.
- Ability to work independently and manage ambiguity in a fast-moving commercial environment.
- Experience across Singapore and/or Malaysia, with knowledge of the broader ASEAN business landscape.
- Experience in people resourcing, workforce solutions, commercial operations, or corporate transformation is highly preferred.
- ACCA, CPA, CIMA, CFA, or an equivalent professional qualification is advantageous.
