Highlights of the Role
Our client is an established business with a growing regional presence. The Singapore office is a close-knit, high-performing team, led by the Managing Director who oversees both local operations and the regional finance function.

This suits someone who is ambitious, commercially sharp, highly organised, and ready to operate in a lean environment where ownership and initiative are valued above all.
