The Opportunity:

At Agoda, we see technology as the foundation of financial excellence.

This role is your opportunity to shape the future of finance systems at Agoda, ensuring they are scalable, resilient, and aligned with our business goals.

You will work closely with product, tech, and finance teams to define what our finance systems architecture should look like in future, along with north star metrics and how the roadmap should achieve the north start metrics

In addition to defining the roadmap, this role will ensure that the architecture meets the increasing regulatory, compliance, and risk management needs of a global organization. You will design systems that prioritize data accuracy, operational efficiency, and time-to-market, enabling Agoda to adapt quickly to evolving business and regulatory requirements. By balancing innovation with robust controls, you will ensure that our finance systems are not only future-proof but also compliant, secure, and reliable.

This is a strategic role that will redefine how finance systems operate in a tech-driven world, while addressing critical elements such as risk, compliance, and operational excellence.

In this transformative role, you will:

• Collaborate with product, tech, and finance teams to design a scalable and resilient finance systems architecture to meet the ever changing needs

• Define, track, and analyze key metrics and success criteria for finance systems across major areas such as Pay-in, Pay-out, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, and more. Use these metrics to identify opportunities for improvement and collaborate with stakeholders to implement solutions that enhance system performance and efficiency.

• Work with cross-functional teams to align on the architecture vision, roadmap and align key metrics and recommendations to relevant stakeholders including senior leadership to drive strategic decisions.

• Ensure finance systems are future-proof, leveraging the latest technologies and best practices to support Agoda's growth.
