Mission
You are looking for a challenge, eager for a fast-paced startup environment that will push you out of your comfort zone, where learning happens. Most importantly, you’re a problem solver with exquisite attention to detail , unafraid to get technical to understand the root cause of an issue.
As a Financial Operations Associate you will be part of the Financial Operations team responsible for ensuring the seamless flow of funds for the countless transactions happening on the Xendit platform daily. It is a wide ranging role. For example, you will be designing processes operationally for new products, building relationships with banking partners, working with product and tech teams as we automate operations, touching base with teams in SG or PH as we grow in other regions in Southeast Asia, and executing financial analysis to support business growth. When you join the Finops team at Xendit, you’ll have the chance to build something that matters.
If you can be accurate and detail-oriented under pressure, are always reliable, collaborative, and love the dynamic environment of operations, we want to hear from you. Bonus points for those who love challenging the status quo.
