The posting

Our Journey

The ShopBack Group is Asia-Pacific’s leading shopping, rewards, and payments platform, serving over 20 million active members across 13 markets. In 2025, the Group continued its global growth with its expansion into North America. Driven by the vision to make every day more rewarding, ShopBack is dedicated to saving members money and time, and delivering delight every day. The platform also enables merchants and brands to engage with their members in a cost-effective manner. Founded in 2014, ShopBack now powers over US$5.5 billion in annual sales for over 20,000 online and in-store partners, and has rewarded shoppers with more than US$900 million (over S$1 billion) in Cashback to date. Through its innovative offerings, ShopBack continues to create value for both members and merchants. Notably, its payment solution, ShopBack Pay, offers members a convenient and rewarding payment option at checkout.

The Opportunity

This is the seat where audit training turns into real ownership. You'll sit across the full P&L, balance sheet, and cash position of our ShopBack Pay entities — not reviewing someone else's numbers, but owning them, defending them in front of country leadership, and ensuring we're driving audit at world class level.

We're building this seat for people at very different starting points: a 2nd or 3rd-year senior associate from Big 4 looking for the opportunity to grow on the commercial side; an assistant manager wanting broader ownership; or someone with a few years in a GL / month-end reporting seat who wants more. What matters more than your exact title today is that you can clear an audit, you're relentless on detail, and you want the accountability that comes after the sign-off.

What You’ll Own

  • Own the full month-end close and reporting pack across multiple entities — balance sheet, P&L, and cashflow — on a hard deadline, every month
  • Lead flux analysis that doesn't just report the variance but explains why — the same rigor as a deal memo, applied to a live P&L
  • Build the MoM and actuals-vs-budget narrative that leadership actually uses to make calls
  • Navigate the technical complexity of bridging local GAAP with IFRS across markets
  • Own the cash position for your entities — real accountability for whether the business has the runway it needs
  • Be the connective tissue between Treasury, Group Reporting, and the SSC — driving the process, not just feeding it
  • Lead statutory audits end-to-end for your entities — external auditors, corporate secretary, deadlines, all on you
  • Own and apply MAS regulatory requirements relevant to our ShopBack Pay entity, working closely with Legal and Compliance
  • Own compliance across direct and indirect taxes across markets, in partnership with tax advisors
  • Drive the actuals-vs-budget conversation and lead the deep-dive when the variance is material
  • Advise Tax, Legal, Compliance, and Product on the accounting and tax mechanics behind new country and product launches — you're in the room before the launch happens, not cleaning up after

Essentials to Succeed

  • Audit experience is a must — Big 4 or equivalent, with hands-on experience clearing statutory audits end-to-end
  • Bachelor's in Accountancy and/or Finance, or advanced degrees (Masters’ or PhD) in any analytical field
  • Open across levels: 2nd/3rd-year senior associate ready to step up; assistant manager level; or 4–5 years in a GL role with solid month-end reporting exposure
  • Working knowledge of MAS requirements as they apply to payment entities (e.g. ShopBack Pay) is required
  • Commercial accounting experience is a plus — not a requirement
  • Meticulous and detail-oriented — nothing slips past you in a reconciliation, schedule, or variance
  • Sharp, confident communicator, comfortable presenting numbers to stakeholders
  • Thrives under deadline pressure, comfortable with ambiguity, high ownership, high integrity
  • AI Fluent: Demonstrated use of AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to build workflows, sharpen analysis, and move 3x faster at scale in a work setting.

ShopBacker Traits

  • Agency - We take ownership and act, rather than waiting for permission. When something's blocking progress, we find a way through it and follow through until it's done.
  • Judgement - We aim for high-impact decisions, not just easy wins, and we put the bigger picture ahead of individual interests. That means moving quickly and confidently, while staying thoughtful about when a call really matters.
  • Learning Velocity - We pick up new skills fast and let go of old habits just as quickly when something better comes along. We benchmark ourselves against the best and keep raising our own bar.
  • Tenacity - We stay in it when things get hard, keeping a level head under pressure. We debate openly before deciding, then commit fully — and support each other along the way.

What's in it for ShopBackers

  • Career growth opportunities to take on greater challenges that help you realise your ambitions.
  • Be part of a winning team on a journey to global scale.
  • Competitive compensation based on performance.
  • Candid, open, and collaborative culture where feedback is valued.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
