Full Job Description

Job Overview

Lead. Scale. Get it right.

Our Octave Finance team is looking for Manager Payroll APAC. You’ll own payroll and sales commission operations across APAC, end to end. That means accuracy, compliance, and control - done consistently across countries and aligned with global finance standards. You’ll look beyond processing and take the driver’s seat on frameworks, governance, and smarter ways of working, partnering closely with HR, Sales Ops, and Finance.

This is a hands‑on leadership role. You’ll run a lean regional team, stay close to the details, and build processes that stand up to audits and scale with the business. You can be based in Australia, Singapore, or Malaysia.

Analyse commission effectiveness, cost of sales, and return on incentives.

Reporting and finance support

Review monthly payroll and commission expense, accruals, and balance sheet movements.
Provide inputs for close, budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis.
Support audits and reviews across payroll, commissions, benefits, and leave liabilities.
Partner with APAC Finance on headcount cost and commission trend analysis.

Process, systems, and change

Lead payroll and commission transformation, automation, and system improvements.
Simplify processes and strengthen internal controls.
Take on regional projects as needed.

A minimum of three years leading finance or accounting teams in a corporate environment.
