We take play seriously. We’re looking for curious adventurers ready to find their party, fueled by imagination and drive to build what’s never been built before. At Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, you’ll collaborate with passionate teams to reimagine our iconic brands and create experiences that spark joy, connection, and community through the magic of play. This is your chance to shape legendary play that lasts a lifetime. **Purpose of Role** As Finance Director – APAC, you will serve as the senior finance leader and strategic co-pilot to Hasbro's APAC Commercial Leadership Team. This is a broad, high-impact role that combines Sales Finance (commercial business partnering, pricing, customer P&Ls, and investment strategy) with Regional Finance (A&P and overhead stewardship, planning and consolidation) across the region. This is a key leadership role in Hasbro's International Commercial Markets. You will own the full finance agenda for APAC — from commercial deal-making and channel strategy through to regional planning, cost discipline, and consolidated reporting — giving you end-to-end visibility and influence over the region's financial performance. This role is built for a bold, energetic leader who combines sharp financial acumen with commercial instincts, thrives in ambiguity and change, and is ready to build and lead a high-performing, multi-market team. Driving the region to sustainable profitability is the #1 challenge — and this role is central to achieving that. **What You'll Do:** **Commercial Strategy & Decision Support (Sales Finance)** • Partner with the APAC Commercial Leadership Team to drive business performance across key markets, channels, and franchises. • Lead pricing strategy, channel investment, profitability analysis, and customer P&L decisions. • Act as a strategic architect — identify revenue growth opportunities and unlock margin through smart trade-offs. **Investment Planning & Regional Finance** • Partner with the Regional Head of Marketing and Head of Customer Marketing to align investment and promotional strategy. • Lead line plan pricing recommendations across the region, supporting commercial market decision-making. • Drive disciplined oversight of A&P and overheads across APAC. • Lead the regional planning rhythm: weekly sales tracking, monthly business reviews, and financial performance reporting. • Manage in-year performance processes, ensuring accurate, timely visibility of risks, opportunities, and sufficiency. • Lead budgeting and forecasting processes across the region. • Own regional consolidation, ensuring accurate roll-up of market-level results into the APAC view and clean handoff to Corporate Finance. **Leadership & Team Building** • Lead a combined Sales Finance and Regional Finance organization of 11 across Singapore, Hong Kong, China, India, and Australia, through 4 direct reports: Senior Finance Manager – Regional Finance, Senior Finance Manager – Sales Finance (Asia Markets), Finance Manager – Sales Finance (PAC & GEM), and a Finance Analyst – PAC & GEM who reports directly to the FD rather than through the PAC & GEM Finance Manager, by design. • Build a culture of accountability, insight, and ownership — finance as co-pilot, not just scorekeeper. • Actively coach and stretch team members; foster internal mobility and talent succession across a geographically dispersed team. **Strategic Alignment** • Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, Global Franchise Teams, and Supply Chain to ensure strategic alignment. • Bring best-practice commercial and regional finance discipline into APAC, drawing on global standards. **Reporting & Analytics** • Deliver impactful financial dashboards and management reporting to drive decision-making. • Collaborate with BI and systems teams to modernize tools and enhance forecast accuracy. **Financial Stewardship** • Drive compliance with financial policies and controls in partnership with Controllership and Corporate Finance. • Protect the integrity of the financials while accelerating business momentum. **What We Are Looking For:** • 10–12+ years in Finance with a strong track record spanning Commercial Finance, FP&A, and business partnering. • Experience in CPG, retail, consumer tech, or fast-paced, brand-led industries. • Clear success leading high-performing, multi-market finance teams. • Deep knowledge of financial planning, pricing, customer P&Ls, A&P/overhead management, and consolidation. • Strategic thinker who can zoom out and also dive into the detail. • Exceptional communication and influencing skills at Senior Leadership level. • Strong Excel and systems skills; experience with SAP, Power BI, or similar tools a plus. • Energy.
