Director, Grab Financial Group

Get to Know the Team

Grab Financial Group (GFG) Philippines sits at the intersection of financial services, technology, and public impact. The team leads payments, lending, insurance, and new financial products for one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic markets. We work across the full stack: from regulatory engagement with BSP and SEC to on-the-ground product delivery for drivers, merchants, and consumers. This is a team that holds both ambition and accountability in equal measure, and the work we do has real impact for real people.

We are in a high-growth phase, expanding our footprint through strategic projects and partnerships. You will join a team that is not only managing a core business but actively architecting the future of our financial services ecosystem to deliver greater value to our consumers, drivers, and merchants.

Get to Know the Role

The Director, GFG Philippines leads the full spectrum of financial services in the country. These services include payments, lending, insurance, strategy, and partnerships.

The right candidate is an established financial services leader in the Philippines. This leader has the credibility to operate at the highest levels of government and regulatory engagement. This includes BSP, SEC, the Insurance Commission, and relevant legislative bodies. They bring experience building consequential partnerships with local institutions, international banks, and technology companies, and are comfortable representing Grab in public forums and policy discussions.
