- Lead or support M&A activity, joint ventures, acquisitions, and divestments — including deal structuring, valuation, due diligence, negotiation, and closing
- Own financial modelling, valuation analysis, and investor materials, and support pre-IPO readiness and potential listing-related workstreams
- Partner closely with the CEO and senior management on capital allocation, strategic planning, business expansion, and major investment decisions
- Lead annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, long-term financial planning, and business analysis to guide growth decisions and evaluate new markets, contracts, and opportunities
- Oversee all core finance operations including accounting, management reporting, cash management, audit, statutory compliance, tax, transfer pricing, and cross-border finance matters
- Build and lead a scalable regional finance team, strengthen internal controls, approval frameworks, and financial governance policies to meet the demands of a rapidly growing organisation
