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.
???? What You’ll Shape and Influence

???? 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.
???? Process Innovation & Governance
- Drive improvements across FP& A and commercial finance processes through automation, standardization, and digitization.
- Ensure robust internal controls and alignment with global policies, acting as a proactive steward of compliance and risk management.
????️ Retail & Field Financial Insight
- Deliver actionable insights on store profitability, operational productivity, and retail P& Ls.
- Work closely with retail leaders to improve sales efficiency, cost controls, and margin performance.

You’ll thrive here if you are someone who:
- 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.
???? How You’ll Grow with Us
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.

We’re looking for someone who brings the foundation to lead, and the mindset to evolve:
- 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, Power Point, and financial modeling; experience with SAP and POS analytics is a plus.
