Lalamove is disrupting the logistics industry by connecting customers and drivers directly through our technology. We offer a lightning-fast, seamless way to book delivery and moving services—anytime, anywhere. While others talk about O2O, we live it.

As a leading global on-demand delivery platform, Lalamove facilitates millions of orders daily through a vast network of delivery partners. With a global workforce of 1,500+ and continuing to scale at an extraordinary pace, we are seeking a Financial Controller to lead our international financial operations from our Hong Kong functional office.

This is a high-impact leadership role where you will move beyond traditional reporting to drive global financial strategy. You will lead a high-performing international finance team, ensuring world-class standards while identifying levers for process improvement and cost optimization. You are not just a guardian of the books; you are a strategic partner to our global business lines.
### What You Will Do
  • Global Financial Strategy: Direct the financial roadmap for all overseas markets, ensuring scalability and alignment with Lalamove’s global growth objectives.

  • Operational Excellence: Oversee complex global financial operations, optimizing payment ecosystems for users, drivers, and corporate partners across diverse regulatory landscapes.

  • Governance & Compliance: Maintain oversight of global statutory compliance and multi-jurisdictional audits to mitigate risk in a fast-evolving O2O sector.

  • Leadership & Talent Cultivation: Mentor and scale a global finance organization, fostering a culture of high performance, continuous improvement, and technical mastery.

  • Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary financial liaison between Functional Departments in Hong Kong and regional leadership, translating complex financial data into strategic narratives for executive decision-making.

  • Transformation & Integration: Drive the implementation of advanced financial systems and automated reconciliation processes (including payment gateways) to enhance efficiency.

### What We Seek
  • Global Visionary: A leader who understands the nuances of operating across multiple continents and can harmonize local execution with global strategy.

  • Analytical Powerhouse: Ability to distill complex financial data into clear, strategic recommendations that drive business growth.

  • Resilient Leader: Proven track record of leading multinational teams through change in high-growth, high-pressure environments.
  • Influencer: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships across different cultures and departments.
  • ### What You Will Need
  • Experience: Minimum 12+ years of progressive experience in Finance/Accounting, with at least 5 years in a significant leadership role overseeing regional or global territories.

  • Education & Certification: Bachelor’s degree in Finance or Accounting; CPA/ACCA/CFA or equivalent professional qualification is mandatory.

  • Background: Extensive experience in international audit firms followed by senior in-house roles. Experience in Platform (O2O), Logistics, or Hyper-growth Tech is highly preferred.

  • Technical Mastery: Deep understanding of IFRS, international tax regulations, and multi-currency consolidations.

  • Systems Savvy: Advanced proficiency in ERP systems (Oracle preferred) and a strong grasp of automated payment gateway reconciliations.

  • Strategic Acumen: Proven ability to manage cross-border projects, improve global processes, and drive profitability.
  • Language: Fluency in English is required; proficiency in other regional languages is a distinct advantage.
