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.
