About the role:

SpeedX is seeking a high-caliber FP&A / Finance Business Partner to serve as a strategic thought partner to operational and commercial leadership.

The ideal candidate brings strong financial modeling skills, a data-first mindset, and the ability to translate numbers into actionable business recommendations. Bilingual proficiency in English and Mandarin Chinese is required.

• Serve as a trusted finance advisor to non-finance stakeholders — translating financial data into business language and business context into financial models.
• Pricing model support — building or validating pricing models for new bids or contract renewals.

Finance Digitalization & Process Improvement

• Participate in finance digitalization and data intelligence initiatives; continuously enhance reporting tools, analytical platforms, and automation capabilities.
• Contribute to UAT and pilots for new systems, tools, or process changes; provide practical feedback from an operational finance perspective.
