As a trusted advisor to the Office of the CFO, they partner with management teams and private equity sponsors to solve complex finance, accounting, and transformation challenges - free from audit independence constraints.

• Own transformation, modelling, and semantic layer to ensure consistent business logic across BI and AI.
• Prepare and serve AI-ready data - curated datasets, embeddings, and RAG corpora.
• Own data quality, master data / entity resolution, and end-to-end lineage for audit readiness.
• Embed governance, privacy & security by design (PDPA and APAC data residency / cross-border rules).
• Build reusable accelerators and set engineering standards for the practice.

Must Have:

5-10 years of hands-on production data engineering, end-to-end delivery experience, and client-facing stakeholder management.

Tech Stack:

Expert Python & SQL, dbt, Snowflake / Databricks, Airflow / Dagster, Iceberg / Delta Lake, plus strong understanding of data governance, vector stores, and cloud ( Azure / AWS / GCP).
