Based in Shanghai office, 5 days per week, this role will be instrumental in supporting the rapid growth of our China business. The successful candidate will serve as a key thought partner to the APAC Regional President and report directly to the [VP of International Finance].

This is not a traditional finance role—this position is deeply focused on driving business insights, supporting strategic initiatives such as market entry strategies and distribution expansion, and developing financial frameworks that enable decision-making across the region. Fluency in both Mandarin and English is essential, as the role requires cross-functional collaboration with teams across China and global headquarters.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as the strategic finance business partner to the APAC Regional President, driving analysis and recommendations on growth initiatives, including new distribution channels, partnerships, and market expansion.
  • Lead financial modeling and ROI analyses to support key investment decisions and commercial strategies in the region.
  • Partner with global and local teams to develop long-term planning models aligned with our China growth objectives.
  • Translate complex business questions into structured, data-driven analyses and present findings to senior executives.
  • Evaluate market trends, consumer behavior, and competitive positioning to inform strategic financial planning.
  • Create executive-ready materials for quarterly business reviews, board updates, and investment proposals related to the China business.
  • Support cross-functional projects related to pricing, product profitability, cost optimization, and strategic planning.
  • Help standardize and scale regional financial processes, ensuring integration with global tools and systems (e.g., Oracle).
  • Maintain a deep understanding of China’s economic and regulatory environment to inform strategic finance decisions.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business, or related field; MBA or CFA is a plus.
  • 7+ years of relevant experience in strategic finance, investment banking, consulting, or corporate development; strong preference for candidates with experience in fast-paced, high-growth consumer businesses or multinational companies operating in China.
  • Proven track record of supporting executive decision-making through high-impact financial and strategic analysis.
  • Advanced financial modeling skills and fluency with Excel and PowerPoint.
  • Strong understanding of financial statements, corporate finance, and valuation methodologies.
  • Experience working with Oracle or similar enterprise systems is a plus.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in both Mandarin and English.
  • Ability to navigate cross-cultural environments and influence stakeholders across regions and functions.
  • Highly analytical, intellectually curious, and comfortable working in ambiguity.
  • Preferred Attributes
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to build and shape business processes from the ground up.
  • Comfortable operating in a matrixed and dynamic environment.
  • Passion for sports, entertainment, or collectibles is a plus.
