The Opportunity

Are you an experienced finance transformation and continuous improvement professional who enjoys solving complex operational problems and delivering measurable results?

Agoda’s Finance Operations Excellence team is looking for a Manager to lead finance and accounting process-improvement initiatives across our global operations. The role will focus on analyzing existing processes, identifying root causes, redesigning workflows, strengthening controls, and implementing sustainable improvements across areas such as Accounts Payable (PTP), Accounts Receivable (OTC), General Ledger (RTR), payments, reconciliations, and financial close.

You will own improvement initiatives from problem definition through implementation and stabilization.
