What you'll do:

As a Country Finance Business Partner based in Jakarta, you will play an essential role in supporting the management team with robust decision support at both operational and strategic levels. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve partnering with senior leaders to shape organisational strategy while optimising resource allocation for maximum value creation.

Collaboration is central to this role; you will work closely with Area Finance teams as well as cross-functional stakeholders to ensure accuracy in reporting and planning.

* Influence key business decisions through rigorous evaluation of investments, initiatives, business cases, and trade-offs across various functions within the organisation.
* Act as both a strategic partner and analytical expert by seamlessly moving between enterprise-level discussions and detailed analysis to uncover root causes, challenge assumptions constructively, and improve outcomes.
* Collaborate closely with Area Finance teams, Global Financial Services (GFS), and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure accurate financial reporting, planning, and execution.
* Simplify planning, reporting, and decision-support processes by driving standardisation, automation initiatives, and sharing best practices across teams.
* Uphold strong financial governance by maintaining robust controls, compliance standards, stewardship of company resources, and promoting accountability throughout the organisation.
