Get To Know Our Team:
Finance plays a central role in supporting the company's global expansion. Within Finance, Treasury manages liquidity, foreign exchange risk, banking relationships, and funding operations across Agoda and the wider Booking Holdings (BKNG) group.

You will execute trades across multiple group entities, strengthen controls and documentation, explain the drivers behind FX profit and loss to finance stakeholders, and represent Treasury in Product and Payments discussions.
