About Agoda At Agoda, we bridge the world through travel. Our story began in 2005, when two lifelong friends and entrepreneurs, driven by their passion for travel, launched Agoda to make it easier for everyone to explore the world. Today, we are part of Booking Holdings [NASDAQ: BKNG], with a diverse team of over 7,000 people from 90 countries, working together in offices around the globe.

No two days are the same at Agoda. Data and technology are at the heart of our culture, fueling our curiosity and innovation. If you’re ready to begin your best journey and help build travel for the world, join us. The Opportunity We are hiring a Senior Program Manager / Principal Program Manager, Finance & Controllership to lead complex, high-impact initiatives across Finance, Controllership, and broader business functions. This role is best suited for someone with strong business, finance, and accounting acumen who can operate effectively in ambiguous environments and connect the dots across business models, accounting treatment, operating processes, controls, systems, reporting, and tax considerations. The scope of the role goes beyond process improvement or project coordination. The person in this role will help shape and drive initiatives such as setting up new business units, designing scalable finance and accounting structures, improving financial operations, and solving cross-functional business problems that require sound judgment across finance, operations, and systems. We are looking for someone who is highly logical, learns quickly, and is able to move fluidly between strategy and detail — someone who can independently structure complex problems, challenge assumptions, and turn ambiguity into practical, executable solutions. Key Responsibilities * Lead end-to-end delivery of strategic and operational initiatives across Controllership, Accounting, Finance Operations, and business transformation. * Structure ambiguous business problems into clear workplans, decision points, and actionable recommendations. * Partner with Finance, Accounting, Tax, Legal, Product, Systems, and Operations teams to design practical solutions that are operationally scalable and financially sound. * Evaluate implications of changes across accounting, reporting, controls, tax, legal-entity setup, systems, and operating processes. * Help design and implement finance-ready operating models for new business initiatives, organizational changes, or structural changes. * Drive clarity on business requirements, governance, milestones, interdependencies, and execution risks. * Prepare high-quality materials for senior stakeholders and leadership, including decision memos, steering updates, and recommendations with clear trade-offs. * Go beyond coordination by diving into details where needed to validate assumptions, solve issues, and move execution forward. * Establish practical frameworks, templates, and methodologies that improve consistency and execution quality across projects. Examples of Initiatives You May Lead * Setting up new business units or operating models, including finance process design, accounting considerations, reporting readiness, and governance requirements. * Designing accounting and finance structures to support new products, new markets, or organizational changes. * Driving improvements in core finance operations such as AP, AR, collections, credit risk, reconciliations, and close-related processes. * Solving cross-functional issues that require balancing business needs with accounting, tax, control, and system constraints. * Leading finance transformation projects involving process redesign, policy interpretation, data flows, controls, and operating model changes. * Supporting strategic decisions where financial, operational, and structural implications need to be assessed holistically. Required Qualifications * 7+ years of relevant experience in program management, finance transformation, controllership, strategic finance, accounting operations, consulting, or similar roles. * Strong understanding of accounting, finance operations, and controllership concepts, with the ability to apply this knowledge in real business situations. * Proven ability to structure and drive ambiguous, cross-functional problems that require both strategic thinking and hands-on execution. * Demonstrated experience working on initiatives involving some combination of business processes, accounting treatment, reporting, controls, operating models, systems, and governance. * Ability to assess issues holistically and connect implications across business, finance, tax, accounting, and operational dimensions. * Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complexity into concise recommendations and decision-ready materials. * High ownership and strong follow-through; willing to dive into details rather than operate only at a coordination level. * Excellent written and verbal communication in English. * Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. Preferred Qualifications * Experience in finance controllership, accounting advisory, strategic finance, or business transformation. * Background in industries such as travel tech, e-commerce, fintech, or other fast-paced, complex operating environments. * Familiarity with entity setup, intercompany structures, accounting policy interpretation, reporting structures, or tax/control considerations. * Experience working with or alongside Product, Systems, or Data teams, while representing a strong business/finance perspective. * CPA, CA, ACCA, CFA, or other relevant finance/accounting qualifications are a plus. * Relevant certifications that augment program management like PMP / PRINCE2 / Agile are a plus. Key Skills & Attributes * Strong business and finance judgment * Highly logical and quick to learn * Able to connect the dots across different domains * Comfortable with ambiguity and problem solving * Hands-on, detail-oriented, and execution-focused * Structured thinker with strong communication skills * Confident engaging senior stakeholders while remaining practical and grounded in the details #LI-NS2 #Taipei #Hongkong #Singapore #Kualalumpur #Shanghai #Beijing #Tokyo #Seoul #Hanoi #Bangkok #Phuket #Pakistan #Bangladesh #Manila #HoChiMinh #Nigeria #SriLanka #Jakarta #Prague #Berlin #Madrid #Sofia #Budapest #Lisbon #Rome #Colombia #Atlanta #GreaterSaoPaulo #India #Mumbai #Bangalore #Kaizen #LeanSixSigma #Lean#CPA#Accounting #Finance#FinanceOperation #FinanceOptimization #Processimprovement #Financeandaccounting #PTP #RTR #GL #Generalledger #AR #AP #LeanPractitioner #OEP #CBPP #OperationalExcellenceProfessionalCertification #CertifiedBusinessProcessProfessional #LeanPractitioner PLEASE REVIEW OUR HIRING PROCESS GUIDELINES BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW — CLICK HERE TO LEARN HOW INTERVIEWING AT AGODA WORKS.
