About the Company

As a flagship global business under JD Group, JD International & Joybuy operates as a leading cross-border e-commerce and global supply chain ecosystem. We are committed to building a trusted, intelligent, and efficient global retail network, empowering global merchants and consumers via digitalized logistics, standardized financial governance, and innovative business models. Rooted in integrity, collaboration, and long-term value creation, our culture embraces professionalism, ownership, cross-border teamwork, and continuous iteration to support rapid global business expansion.

About the Role

This role focuses on end-to-end financial billing, transaction settlement, and accounting operations for JD International’s cross-border business entities. You will be responsible for high-volume transaction reconciliation, daily merchant/vendor settlements, month-end closing, and cross-departmental financial collaboration. The position plays a core part in ensuring standardized, accurate, and compliant financial operations for our overseas business, while actively driving billing process optimization and financial system automation.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Transaction Settlement & Month-End Closing

  • Manage full-cycle daily billing and settlement operations covering B2C/B2B revenues, cross-border logistics fees, and merchant payouts.
  • Execute multi-dimensional data reconciliation among business systems, bank statements, and third-party payment gateways (PSPs).
  • Lead month-end and year-end closing activities for settlement modules; verify the compliance and authenticity of original financial documents, ensuring consistency between ledgers and actual business data.

Financial Reporting & Variance Analysis

  • Prepare timely and accurate monthly billing reports, accounts receivable/payable (AR/AP) aging analysis, and financial statements for international business.
  • Conduct financial variance analysis on transaction fees and settlement discrepancies, interpret performance fluctuations, and output professional insights to support management decision-making.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
