The Opportunity  
We are looking for an FX Controller to join our Finance team in Bangkok. This role is ideal for an experienced accounting professional with strong technical knowledge of foreign exchange, derivatives, hedge accounting and financial controls in a complex multinational environment.  
You will own the accounting and controllership framework for foreign-currency transactions and exposures across multiple entities, currencies and jurisdictions. This includes FX revaluation, realized and unrealized gains and losses, derivatives, hedge-related accounting, foreign-currency intercompany transactions, exchange-rate governance and the reconciliation of Treasury systems to the general ledger.  
You will be responsible for ensuring that FX accounting outcomes are complete, accurate, explainable and compliant with applicable accounting standards and internal policies. You will also provide clear analysis of material FX movements, identify unexpected exposures or accounting outcomes, and coordinate their resolution with Treasury, Controllership, Tax, Finance Systems and other Finance teams.

Establish investigation and escalation thresholds for material FX differences and unresolved reconciliation items.  
Ensure significant FX-related  balance-sheet  accounts are reconciled,  reviewed  and signed off within the close timetable.

Ensure  appropriate segregation  of duties between transaction execution, confirmation, valuation, accounting,  reconciliation  and approval.
