Finance & Business Operations Lead

About the Company

You will join a serial entrepreneur-backed venture at an early and exciting stage of its development. With an international setup and a rapidly expanding geographic footprint, the Company is developing an ambitious vision for a new-generation entertainment platform combining gaming, social media, entertainment, and culture.

The venture builds on the founder’s knowledge, experience, and international network, with the ambition to rethink how the next generation discovers, creates, engages with, and experiences entertainment. Artificial intelligence (AI) and technology are expected to play an important role in enabling new products, experiences, and business models across these rapidly evolving consumer and creative ecosystems.

While the leadership team already brings together high-profile and experienced executives, you will join a genuine 0-to-1 entrepreneurial environment. The organization remains lean, fast-moving, international, and highly hands-on. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys building rather than maintaining - comfortable with ambiguity, energized by rapid growth, and excited to contribute to an ambitious international venture from its earliest stages.

The Role

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and highly hands-on Finance & Business Operations Lead to take ownership of the Company’s day-to-day finance, accounting, payroll, corporate administration, and related operating processes. You will work closely with the leadership team while building the systems and discipline required to support rapid international growth and related fundraising process.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage bookkeeping and accounting operations, using modern cloud-based and SaaS finance platforms.
• Process and coordinate monthly payroll, employee expenses, reimbursements, and related administration.
• Manage accounts payable and receivable, invoicing, payment processes, banking administration, and cash-flow monitoring.
• Coordinate corporate secretarial matters, statutory filings, board and shareholder documentation, and corporate records.
• Manage relationships with external accountants, auditors, payroll providers, banks, corporate secretaries, tax advisers, and other professional partners.
• Support tax, compliance, and regulatory requirements in Singapore and, as the footprint expands, other relevant jurisdictions.
• Prepare and improve monthly financial reporting, budgets, forecasts, management dashboards, and decision-support analysis.
• Establish simple, robust, and scalable finance processes, controls, policies, and administrative workflows.
• Select, implement, and optimize SaaS tools to automate finance and administrative processes wherever practical.
• Support the founder and leadership team on ad hoc financial, operational, and strategic projects.
• Contribute to fundraising processes and investor-related financial preparation, when required.
• Help build a finance and administration function capable of scaling across multiple markets and entities.

Your Profile

• Degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related discipline.
• 2 to 5 years of relevant professional experience, ideally including a first experience in an international technology startup or similarly fast-paced environment.
• Exposure to an early-stage or 0-to-1 company environment is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on capability across bookkeeping, payroll, payments, corporate administration, and finance operations - not only financial analysis.
• Comfortable with cloud-based accounting, payroll, expense-management, and other SaaS platforms.
• Good understanding of Singapore finance, accounting, and corporate administration practices.
• Familiarity with venture capital, startup financing, and fundraising processes is a plus.
• Able and willing to travel frequently as required by the business.
• Excellent command of English; Mandarin is preferred, and French would be a plus.

The Person We Are Looking For

More than a traditional finance profile, we are looking for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset. You are curious, resourceful, pragmatic, and comfortable figuring things out when there is no established playbook. You create structure from ambiguity without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.

• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and willing to take ownership.
• Curious about technology, AI, gaming, social media, entertainment, and emerging cultural trends.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with sound financial discipline.
• Comfortable operating at speed and switching between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
• International in outlook and able to communicate effectively across cultures and locations.
• Discreet, reliable, and trusted with sensitive company, founder, employee, and financial information.
