Finance Director, Mumbai (IN)

Our client is a Mumbai based financial services organisation headquartered in the US undergoing an AI-led transformation of their business and service offerings. With 2,000 employees spread across the globe, it is a fast-scaling business that’s moving from a services model to a tech/AI-led platform with an aspiration to grow to a US$10B brand.

The Director of Finance would report to the CFO and would lead a 30-member team of FP&A, Corporate Finance and have a seat at the table with the Executive Committee and investors. A new-age role, 30% of the position will be responsible for driving AI led transformation in the Finance function with the goal to make it a faster, agile and more accurate business unit, with an ability to better predict outcomes and higher quality decisions.

The right candidate for this position would be a certified Chartered Accountant with 20+ years of experience, with ability to hustle and drive transformation. It’s a true “build” role — setting up processes, tightening controls, driving automation, and partnering closely with the business commercially.

It’s a fairly high-impact mandate — building and running the full finance engine across a US–UK–India structure, with direct exposure to the CFO/CEO and involvement in business decision-making.

The organisation is going through large scale transformation, in a high stakes, start-up like environment, so the candidate must be comfortable rolling up their sleeves, in a dynamic, fast-paced and demanding environment, and willing to go beyond the said scope of work and demonstrate entrepreneurial abilities.
