About the Team

The Cross Border FP&A team owns the financial blueprint for Shopee's cross-border business across Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Latin America. We build the models behind the forecasts — orders, GMV, take rates, P&L — and partner closely with business leaders and Group Finance to make sure the numbers tell the real story. If you like being the person who can explain why the margin moved, what's driving the next quarter's outlook, and where the business should be placing its bets, this is where that happens.
