About Kumu
At Kumu, we're building the largest social entertainment platform in the Philippines-a place where creators, communities, and fans come together to connect, share, and earn.
Every day, millions of interactions happen across the platform. Behind every livestream, virtual gift, creator payout, and community experience is a business that needs to make smart, data-driven decisions to keep growing sustainably.
That's where Finance comes in.
We're not just here to report numbers. We're here to help the business understand what those numbers mean, uncover opportunities for growth, and ensure we're building a company that can create value for our users, creators, and partners for years to come.
If you're excited about solving complex business problems, turning data into insights, and helping shape the future of one of the Philippines most recognized tech platforms, we'd love to meet you.
