This role plays a pivotal part in realizing Shiseido Korea’s Beauty Innovation strategy by leading our FP&A function and reporting directly to the CFO.
More than a financial controller, this role acts as a true business partner—translating financial insights into strategic actions, and shaping business decisions with data-driven perspectives.
It’s not just about numbers. It’s about asking the right questions, driving alignment, and influencing performance at every level.

�� Commercial Business Partnering
- Partner cross-functionally with Commercial, Retail, Marketing, and Supply Chain teams to provide financial clarity and direction on brand launches and channel strategies.
- Actively challenge assumptions and deliver insights that connect performance to decisions across the organization.

- Goes beyond the spreadsheet, connecting the dots between data, business context, and human behavior.
- Thinks long-term—not just optimizing for short-term gains but designing scalable and sustainable financial structures.
- Balances logic with empathy, communicating clearly across stakeholders while navigating ambiguity and complexity.
- Wants to use finance not just as a reporting function but as a driver of change and transformation on the ground.

This is more than a finance role—it’s a launchpad for broader leadership impact:
- Gain exposure to APAC and Global HQ through active participation in budgeting cycles, strategic reviews, and business cases.
- Strengthen commercial acumen by collaborating with diverse brand, marketing, digital, and retail leaders.
- Work closely with the Shiseido Korea CFO, engaging with senior leadership on strategic decisions.
- Shape how finance is perceived and practiced—as a proactive enabler of growth and innovation.

- 10+ years of experience in Finance, including at least 5 years in FP&A or Commercial Finance leadership roles.
- Proven track record leading enterprise-wide budgeting, P&L ownership, and strategic planning cycles.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and financial modeling; experience with SAP and POS analytics is a plus.
