The Opportunity: 
At Agoda, we see technology as the foundation of financial excellence, and as a Manager in Fintech Solutions, you will lead the charge in transforming how finance and technology work together. This role is your opportunity to shape resilient systems, reduce disruptions, and ensure finance has a strong voice in technology decisions. 

You will partner with diverse teams—finance, tech, product, and incident management—to detect and resolve issues faster, prevent recurring challenges, and drive continuous improvement. By presenting clear insights and trends to senior leadership, you will influence decisions that enhance system performance and operational efficiency. 

This is more than a role—it’s a chance to redefine how finance operates in a tech-driven world. Join us to lead innovation, empower teams, and set new standards for excellence in financial technology. 

In this transformative role, you will:

  • Act as the voice of finance to the tech team, ensuring all incidents are addressed comprehensively across all finance areas with minimal to no impact.
  • Push for thorough root cause analysis and lessons learned to prevent recurring issues.
  • Present incident trends and key issues (especially those impacting month-end closing) to senior leadership, clearly explaining the challenges faced, their causes, actions taken, and overall progress in reducing incidents.
  • Define and implement metrics and methodologies to measure success in reducing incidents, improving detection, and enhancing resolution times.
  • Address and reduce tech issues, continuously improving the ways to have stable and resilient finance systems, covering major areas of finance – Pay-in, Pay-out, chargebacks, Accounting, tax, Treasury and so on. 

What you’ll Need to Succeed: 

  • Over 8 years in finance systems specially incident management with a focus on any one of the major finance domains (pay-in, pay-out, GL) in the tech and e-commerce sectors.
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
  • A track record as a techno-functional expert in finance systems, driving operational excellence and authoritative guidance.
  • Strong experience in stakeholder management and the ability to influence decisions.
  • A passion for investigating issues, identifying root causes, and driving resolutions.
  • Strong ability to define and measure KPIs/metrics to track system performance and improvements.
  • A solid understanding of risk and controls related to finance systems and processes.
  • Capability to work alongside Product, Tech, and Finance teams on various incidents and initiatives.
  • Exceptional numerical, analytical, problem-solving, and change management skills, coupled with the ability to innovate and make critical judgments.
  • Basic SQL proficiency.
  • A keen eye for detail, self-motivation, and a mindset geared towards continuous improvement and learning.
  • A high level of dependability, urgency, results-orientation, and strong business acumen. 

It’s Great if you have: 

  • Experience working in finance cross-functions (Finance operations, treasury, etc.).
  • Familiarity with local/US GAAP and knowledge & compliance in financial & accounting management.
  • Experience working in data analytics.
  • Experience working with Oracle Fusion ERP or SAP.
