Financial Control Lead – Thailand (Assistant Finance Manager )

Help Shape the Future of Finance in Thailand This is an exciting opportunity for a bilingual Thai-English Finance professional to become Beca's first dedicated Financial Control Lead for our Thailand business. Reporting to the Regional Financial Manager – Asia & International, you will act as the trusted Finance representative for the Thailand business, supporting local management and the local Board, while connecting the business with Beca's wider regional Finance network. This is not a traditional accounting role. Beca already has specialist regional teams supporting Accounting Operations, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Project Accounting, Tax, Payroll, Group Reporting, Finance Transformation and Company Secretarial. The role is focused on helping Thailand work as part of Beca's global Finance team, helping to embed scalable, standardised finance and tax compliance practices that support Beca's future-fit strategy. While the role has no direct reports, it provides leadership through influence. Success will come from your ability to build strong relationships, communicate effectively, bring the right people together to achieve positive outcomes for the Thailand business, and help embed Beca's modern Finance operating model within the Thailand office. The Opportunity Thailand is an important part of Beca's Asia & International region, which encompasses Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Pacific Islands, New Caledonia and projects across Asia Pacific and beyond. As our business continues to grow, we want to establish a dedicated Finance presence in Thailand. This role will provide an important link between local leadership and our regional Finance teams, supporting stronger collaboration, scalable ways of working and country-level delivery across the Asia & International region.

What We are Looking For We are looking for someone who combines strong communication and influencing skills with sound finance knowledge and a genuine desire to continue learning and developing. You will bring: - Fluency in both Thai and English. - Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to confidently engage with local management, the local Board and regional stakeholders. - Experience in accounting, audit, financial reporting, tax, finance operations or a related finance discipline. - Broad understanding of accounting principles, financial reporting, taxation and business processes. - Curiosity and an interest in understanding how finance functions operate across AP, AR, project accounting, payroll, tax and statutory reporting. - Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills. - The ability to influence outcomes and drive positive change. - A collaborative approach and enjoyment of working across teams, countries and cultures. - Interest in modern finance systems, governance, automation and continuous improvement. - Experience working in a multinational, consulting, engineering or professional services environment would be highly regarded. - Oracle Fusion or large ERP experience would be advantageous.

Beca actively supports professional accreditation, ongoing learning and continuing professional development. This role provides an excellent opportunity to broaden your experience and continue building your professional capability within a supportive multinational environment.
