Group Functions Finance Business Partner

About the role

Hytech, a management consulting firm with offices across Asia, Africa and Europe, is hiring Finance Partners for its Group Functions Finance Partnering team within Group FP&A. The group functions (Risk, Operations, Payments, Compliance, Finance and HR & Admin) employ more than 1,500 people across Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, China and the Philippines. Each partner owns a portfolio of one to two functions and works directly with the function heads (based in Singapore) on budget, headcount, cost and productivity.

The role requires genuine business-partnering experience and the ability to engage senior function heads independently; pure consolidation or accounting backgrounds are not a fit.

Key responsibilities

• Own the annual budget, rolling forecasts and long-range planning for assigned functions, track actuals versus budget and explain variances and risks to function heads and Group management.
• Partner on headcount planning by team and country, including the cost impact of location mix, hiring plans and organisational changes, and build scenario models for volume growth, headcount and re-organisation decisions.
• Build a team-level cost and headcount view of each function's structure, internal customers and cost composition.
• Work with function leadership to define workload and output measures and link them to financial data for headcount and resource decisions.
• Identify efficiency topics such as workload-to-headcount alignment, location strategy, automation and process improvement, validate them with data and drive change.
• Maintain the logic of how function costs are allocated to brands and support the evolution of the Group's allocation and service-pricing framework.
• Lead the monthly cost review, build and improve function KPIs and management dashboards, and support the roll-out of expense-control processes.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business or a related discipline.
• 5+ years in FP&A, Finance Business Partnering or Business Finance; direct experience with operations, risk, payments, compliance or other functional/shared-services organisations preferred.
• Background in financial services, FinTech, internet platforms or large multinational shared-service environments strongly preferred.
• Fluency in English and Chinese for cross-regional collaboration and bilingual reporting.

Required skills

• Strong financial modelling, budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and scenario planning.
• Working SQL and Power BI are a plus.
• Experience with cost allocation, shared-services pricing or intercompany charging is a plus.
