[Summer Internship 2025] Finance Treasury Intern

Get to know our team:  

The FX & Markets vertical within Agoda's Treasury Team, at its core, is responsible for ensuring Agoda's foreign currency exposures are hedged.

Agoda has taken many great strides in recent years, expanding our reach around the globe as well as our list of travel products. A critical driver to this success has been the Agoda Finance team. We keep a steady hand on maintaining day-to-day financial operations while also keeping an eye out for future opportunities. Not only do we have the unique role of balancing risk management with continued innovation and growth, we also serve as a means of empowerment for both our team members and those within the company. Having experimentation and data analysis deeply ingrained in our culture, we provide the strategic insights Agoda’s business leaders need to push into new territories in sustainable and scalable ways. We also prioritize career development in Agoda Finance. Every function within the team has a well-defined career track with clear goals and development targets each step of the way. 

The opportunity:  

The FX & Markets vertical within Agoda’s Treasury Team is responsible for ensuring Agoda’s foreign currency exposures are hedged and that its foreign currency bank accounts are funded to ensure day-to-day operations. The ideal candidate will have an interest in learning how to trade financial products, an interest in Asian economies, and technical savvy—particularly expertise in Excel formulas.

• Learn how Agoda calculates its exposure in 25+ different markets and understand the full flow of day-to-day business activities that create those exposures.
• Learn how to hedge Agoda’s exposures via FX spot, forward, and non-deliverable forward trades and gain an understanding of products, including derivatives, that can be used to hedge.
• Learn how to calculate Mark-to-Market and Value Derivatives Portfolio.
• Learn how to utilize Bloomberg for trading as well as advanced analytics.
