About the role

We are looking for a Financial Operations Manager based in Singapore to lead global cash and transaction reconciliation. In this role, you will own end-to-end break investigation and resolution, drive cross-functional issue follow-ups through to closure, and partner with Product, Engineering, Data, and Finance to strengthen reconciliation controls and improve automation. You will also lead and develop a team, setting clear operating rhythms and performance standards.

Responsibilities:

• Lead daily, weekly, and month-end reconciliations for cash and transaction flows across channels, entities, and regions, with clear coverage, SLAs, escalation paths, and closing calendars.

• Manage reconciliation breaks end-to-end, including triage, investigation, root-cause analysis, documentation, and follow-up with Product, Engineering, Data, Ops, and PSP/Bank partners until full resolution.

• Understand end-to-end fund flows and transaction lifecycles to identify control gaps and risks, and design policies, procedures, and governance that ensure fund safety and strong financial controls.

• Drive continuous improvement of reconciliation systems, tools, and workflows, including automation, data quality checks, dashboards, and other scalable enhancements.

• Translate operational needs into clear requirements/PRDs and partner with Product and Engineering to deliver and measure enhancements (e.g. break volume reduction, faster cycle times, improved accuracy).

• Partner with Product, Ledger/Accounting, and regional stakeholders to align reconciliation with product changes and reporting needs, and to standardise practices while respecting local requirements.

• Lead, coach, and develop the reconciliation team, allocating resources across BAU and project work, and maintaining capacity planning, coverage, and training.

What you bring:

• 5+ years of experience in Financial Operations, reconciliation, financial operations, payments operations, or related roles; experience in payments/fintech is strongly preferred.

• Proven track record leading cash, settlement, and transaction reconciliations at scale, and driving issues to closure with cross-functional teams.

• Strong understanding of end-to-end payment flows (authorisation, capture, settlement, refunds, disputes/chargebacks) and how these map to ledger entries.

• Experience improving processes and systems (automation, workflow tooling, data pipelines, controls), with the ability to write clear requirements and influence prioritisation.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills; able to deep-dive into large datasets and identify patterns and root causes.

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; comfortable escalating and driving accountability.

• People leadership experience (direct management or strong team lead experience).

• Proficiency with Excel/Google Sheets; familiarity with SQL/BI tools is a plus.
