Director, International Finance & Operations
About the Role
FieldAI is an AI robotics company building autonomous systems for the world’s most demanding environments. As we scale globally, we are hiring a Director, International Finance & Operations — a senior Finance leader with a front row seat to help shape how FieldAI expands internationally, deploys capital, and builds the financial infrastructure that powers our global operations.
Based in Singapore with global scope from day one, this role serves as the senior Finance presence across all international markets — bridging FieldAI’s US-based Finance function with a rapidly growing international footprint. You will be a trusted strategic partner to the VP of FP&A, working cross-functionally with Accounting, Legal, HR, Delivery, and regional leadership to ensure FieldAI scales efficiently, compliantly, and profitably across every market it enters.
The ideal candidate is a proactive, analytically rigorous finance leader with exceptional business acumen and deep international experience — someone who can drive strategic decisions, manage complex cross-functional workstreams across jurisdictions and time zones, and synthesize financial data into clear, actionable insights for executive and board audiences. At scale, this role anchors FieldAI’s International FP&A function — owning the financial models, delivery forecasts, and unit economics that inform how we deploy robots, manage hardware costs, and allocate capital across geographies.
What You’ll Get To Do
Lead financial and operational setup for new international entities — banking, payroll, tax registration, regulatory filings, and compliance across jurisdictions
Assess financial viability, entity structure, and capital requirements for new market entry
Manage international bank accounts and cash positioning — overseeing wires, working capital visibility, and intercompany funding coordination with the US treasury function
Partner with Legal, HR, and executive leadership on entity structuring, local employment compliance, and global office strategy
Own the international financial planning framework — AOP, reforecast, and long-range planning across all international entities and subsidiaries
Define the Business Unit and Subsidiary financial structure to support international reporting requirements
Lead global robot deployment forecasting in partnership with Sales, Delivery, and Hardware teams — building bottoms-up models that inform capacity planning, procurement, and supply chain decisions
Build and own delivery capacity planning models tied to customer sites, use cases, and current and future demand, especially in international markets
Synthesize complex international financial data into clear, actionable insights for executives and the board — cost efficiency, unit economics, and deployment performance across geographies
Partner with Hardware and Delivery teams to build global supply chain operations and strategic procurement visibility
What You Have
8–12+ years of progressive experience in international finance, FP&A, or strategic finance — with meaningful exposure to APAC, EMEA, or MENA markets
Demonstrated leadership owning international entity setup, compliance, and financial operations across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously
Strong FP&A foundation — AOP cycles, bottoms-up forecasting, scenario modeling, and board-ready performance reporting
Experience as a senior Finance business partner to regional or global GTM, Operations, or Delivery leadership
Fluency in multi-entity financial structures: subsidiary reporting, intercompany accounting, transfer pricing, and consolidation
Proven ability to build financial processes, reporting frameworks, and operating systems from scratch in ambiguous, high-growth environments
Executive-level communicator — able to synthesize complexity into clear, actionable insights for CFO, CEO, and board audiences across multiple time zones and cultures
The Extras That Set You Apart
Deep regional expertise in Singapore, Japan, Middle East, or European financial, regulatory, and operating environments
Early-stage or scale-up company experience — demonstrated comfort building without mature infrastructure or established playbooks
Exposure to government grants, R&D incentive programs, or sovereign fund reporting in international jurisdictions (e.g., Singapore RIS, MENA sovereign programs)
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA, CPA, CFA, or ACCA strongly preferred
