Strategic Finance Senior Manager

Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

About the Role:

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the financial strategy of a leading regional fintech. Reporting to the Chief of Staff, you will own the FP&A engine across multiple markets, products, and entities, with your analyses directly informing strategic decisions across new products, partnerships, and markets. This is not a reporting-coordination role: on the processes you own, your judgment is the deliverable. We are looking for someone who forms a view and puts their name on it, challenges the business when the numbers don't support the story, and is hungry to build rather than maintain. 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A): Own budgeting, forecasting, and monthly and weekly reporting cycles - delivered decision-ready and owning the recommendation
  • Management & Board Reporting: Prepare board and management materials, distilling complex analyses into clear narratives on company performance
  • Business Partnering: Work with product and commercial leaders to challenge business logic, optimize unit economics, and drive accountability for growth targets. Surface variances and deliver actionable insights independently
  • Fundraising & Investor Relations: Support capital-raising efforts by leading data room preparation — assembling, analysing, and quality-checking the financial models, performance data, and supporting materials that underpin investor due diligence.
  • Process & Systems Enhancement: Partner with accounting, commercial, and data teams to proactively identify inefficiencies in finance systems and processes, applying automation and AI to sharpen analytics and strengthen reporting accuracy. 

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA or professional certification (CFA, CPA) preferred
  • 8–10+ years of experience in investment banking, strategic finance, or corporate FP&A, ideally in a high-growth or tech-driven environment
  • Advanced financial modelling, with the ability to turn complex data into a recommendation, not just an output
  • Strong communication and storytelling, with the presence to influence senior stakeholders and hold a view in front of them 
  • Deep curiosity and understanding of fintech business models, unit economics, and market trends
  • Strategic, ownership-driven mindset — able to operate autonomously and lead cross-functional initiatives from concept to execution
  • Prior experience in fintech, payments, or high-growth technology companies is a strong plus

The Controller’s data protection officer can be contacted at dataprotection@straitsx.com. Your personal data will be processed for the purposes of managing Controller’s recruitment related activities, which include setting up and conducting interviews and tests for applicants, evaluating and assessing the results thereto, and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment and hiring processes. Such processing is legally permissible under the First Schedule, Part 3, Paragraph 10 of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) as necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller, which are the solicitation, evaluation, and selection of applicants for employment. You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you provide is accurate and complete. If you provide us with personal data relating to another individual (for example, as a referee or emergency contact), you represent and warrant that you have obtained that individual’s consent in accordance with applicable data protection laws (including the PDPA) for us to collect, use, and disclose their personal data for the purposes described above. You also confirm that you have retained proof of such consent and will provide it to us upon request.

Access to your personal data will be limited to authorized personnel involved in the recruitment and hiring process.

Accordingly, if you are located outside of the United States, your personal data will be transferred to the United States once you submit it through this site. The Controller will ensure that such transfers are subject to arrangements that provide a standard of protection comparable to that under the PDPA.

In accordance with Section 25 of the PDPA, the Controller will cease to retain documents containing your personal data, or remove the means by which the data can be associated with you, as soon as it is no longer required for (a) the purposes for which it was collected, or (b) for legal or business purposes, including considering you for future opportunities. Under the PDPA, you have the right to request access to your personal data, to request that your personal data be rectified, and to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights or to withdraw your consent, you may contact the Controller’s data protection officer using the details above.

Please note that providing your personal data is necessary for us to evaluate your job application. If you do not provide the required personal data, or if you later withdraw your consent to its collection, use, or disclosure, the Controller will not be able to process your application, and your candidacy for employment will not be considered.
