## Description

The Manager, Asia Finance Operations & Systems serves as the regional techno-functional lead for the Finance Process & Operations (FPO) team across the Asia-Pacific region.

The role pairs deep regional process and systems knowledge with hands-on technology capability - spanning AI, low-code/no-code development, and scripting - to evaluate processes, deliver solutions, and modernize finance operations across the region.

The Manager acts as the AI and technology champion for the region, identifying high-impact opportunities to apply emerging technology and building solutions directly.

**Primary Responsibilities:**

- Regional SME & AI/Technology Leadership (~35%): Serve as the regional SME for Asia finance business processes across financial systems broadly, not limited to any single function.

- Solution Development & Delivery (~30%): Design, build, and maintain low-code/no-code solutions and workflow automations on the Power Platform.

- Stakeholder Management & Regional Partnership (~20%): Serve as the primary liaison and trusted partner between Asia end-users and US FPO/GTS.

- Process Improvement, Support & Change Management (~15%): Perform data analysis to support troubleshooting, reporting, process evaluation, and data-flow documentation.

**Requirements:**

- Education & Certificates: Bachelor’s degree required; concentration in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Information Systems, or a related field preferred.

- Professional Experience: 5–7 years in finance operations, business systems, or a techno-functional and process improvement role, with regional/Asia-Pacific exposure.

- Hands-on experience building with low-code/no-code platforms such as Power Platform or Appian - required, not just familiarity.

- Working coding ability such as Python, SQL, or VBA for automation, integration, and data work.

- Demonstrated experience applying AI tools to real business problems.

**Competencies & Attributes:**

- Proficiency with generative AI tools, and a strong track record of applying AI to finance workflows.

- Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills across functions, seniority levels, and geographies, able to drive consensus without direct authority.

- Financial systems experience required across accounting, ERP, treasury, or comparable platforms.

- Advanced Excel required; SQL and data-querying skills strongly preferred.

- Exposure to BI and reporting tools such as Sigma Computing or Power BI a plus.

- Understanding of finance operations and financial reporting principles.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an inquisitive, forward-thinking mindset.

- Ability to translate complex business needs into clear, structured requirements and working solutions.

- Excellent written and verbal communication, tailored to finance, technology, and leadership audiences.

- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple competing priorities independently.

- Familiarity with Jira or similar agile project management tools.

**Language:**

- Fluent written and spoken English required; fluent Cantonese and Mandarin strongly preferred.
