Job Description

About the Role

We are hiring a high-potential Finance Business Partnering Analyst in Malaysia to join our Strategic Finance team, supporting financial performance, strategic planning, and executive decision-making. This role offers structured, rotational exposure across business units (e.g., Platform, Recommerce) — providing ambitious talent with a powerful launchpad into a career in strategic finance, business partnering, or corporate development.

Whether you're an early-career finance professional, a sell-side analyst, or a business analyst or consultant with strong commercial instincts, this role offers hands-on experience in shaping financial narratives and driving impact at the group level.

You will collaborate closely with both the Singapore and Malaysia-based teams, supporting cross-functional workstreams across growth, planning, and performance. Importantly, your work will directly contribute to board materials, investor updates, and strategic presentations — not just back-end data prep.

 

Key Responsibilities

Rotational Business Partnering & Strategic Support

  • Support a rotational model that provides exposure across verticals (e.g., Platform, Recommerce), ensuring a group-wide perspective and avoiding BU silos.

  • Analyze P&L trends, performance drivers, and variances; help surface insights that guide resource trade-offs and strategic decisions.
     

Modeling & Planning

  • Build dashboards and models to support scenario planning, channel performance tracking, and operational optimization.

  • Contribute to Long-Term Planning (LTP) and Annual Operating Plan (AOP) cycles through structured financial analysis and model consolidation.
     

Investment & Initiative Support

  • Assist with the creation and tracking of strategic investment cases and high-impact growth initiatives.
     

Strategic Narrative & Executive Reporting

  • Collaborate with the Business Partnering Manager to shape board decks, investor updates, and CEO/CFO briefing materials.

  • Move beyond data prep to help construct cohesive, insight-driven financial narratives.
     

Regional Collaboration & Cross-Functional Work

  • Partner with stakeholders across Malaysia and Singapore, supporting projects that span finance, strategy, and growth teams.

  • Work with business leads to gather qualitative context and align BU priorities with group objectives.

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of experience in FP&A, business analysis, consulting, or corporate strategy.

  • We welcome talent from finance, consulting, or data-heavy business analysis backgrounds with strong commercial acumen.

  • Prior experience in tech, platforms, e-commerce, or sell-side equity research is advantageous.

  • Strong Excel and modeling capabilities; experience with BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Jedox is a plus.

  • Excellent synthesis, communication, and presentation skills — with a genuine interest in financial storytelling and strategic influence.

  • Exposure to pricing and productivity analysis, such as reviewing sales data, tracking performance against targets, and understanding commission models.

  • Experience or interest in analyzing offline retail store performance, focusing on key metrics like customer footfall, conversion rates, store sales, and inventory efficiency.

  • Comfortable working across regions in a collaborative, high-performance culture.
