As part of our growth strategy, we are establishing the Evora Service Partner Centre (“Evora Service Partner”) — an unified, centralised function supporting all Evora entities globally under a single operating model.

Role Overview
Who We Are Looking For
The Finance Lead – Evora Service Partner is a senior individual contributor and team lead role based in India, forming part of Evora Group's shared finance delivery model. The role sits within the Evora Service Partner (ESP) organisation in India and operates as a dedicated finance function supporting Evora Group's global entities.
You will lead a team of finance professionals in India who provide shared finance services — including general ledger accounting, financial reporting, and process operations — to Evora Group entities globally. While your day-to-day employment and people management are with the ESP Head in India, your finance work is directed by and closely aligned with the Global Finance Lead, ensuring full integration with Evora Group's global finance function.
This is a high-impact role for a finance professional who combines technical depth in accounting with a service-delivery mindset, the ability to build trusted cross-cultural working relationships, and the drive to lead a team delivering excellence from India to the world.
Required Qualifications & Experience
- 10–15+ years of progressive experience in accounting/finance, with strong exposure to multi-entity international environments.
- Minimum 3–5 years in a team lead or managerial capacity within a Shared Services Centre (SSC).
- Strong expertise in accounting standards: IFRS and HGB; local GAAP knowledge a plus.
- Deep understanding of month-end close, balance sheet management, and consolidated financial reporting.
- Hands-on experience with ERP systems, preferably SAP (S/4HANA or SAP Cloud ERP an advantage).
- Proven track record collaborating with senior global stakeholders and cross-border teams.
- CA, CPA, ACCA, or equivalent professional qualification preferred.
- Fluent English (written and spoken) essential; German language skills a strong advantage.
- Practical experience applying AI tools in a finance or shared services context.
- Proven ability to coach teams on new ways of working; comfortable as an informal AI champion.
- Grounded understanding of responsible AI use: data sensitivity, compliance boundaries, and appropriate human oversight.
What You Bring
Shared Finance Service Delivery
- Lead the delivery of high-quality, SLA-driven finance services from the India team to Evora Group global entities.
- Ensure all deliverables — reporting, reconciliations, close activities — are completed accurately, on time, and to the standard set by the Global Finance Lead.
- Serve as the primary point of contact between the India-based finance team and the global finance function.

Team Leadership within the Shared Service Model

- Work closely and proactively with the Global Finance Lead to receive direction, align on priorities, and report on delivery.
- Collaborate with onshore finance teams (Germany HQ and other regional offices) to ensure seamless, aligned service delivery.
- Provide technical accounting guidance and act as a subject matter expert to global finance stakeholders.
- Participate in global finance meetings, planning cycles, and cross-entity initiatives as required.
Process Standardisation, Automation & Transformation

Systems & Technology
- Champion effective ERP usage (SAP preferred) with focus on GL and accounting modules.
- Support implementation, testing, and optimisation of finance tools and platforms.
AI-First Leadership & Team Enablement
- Champion an AI-first mindset within the India finance team — not as a technology project, but as a fundamental shift in how the team works, delivers, and grows.
- Model and embed AI-driven ways of working across close, reporting, and reconciliation processes — from automation of routine tasks to AI-assisted analysis and commentary.
- Coach team members to use AI as a force multiplier: sharpening human judgment rather than replacing it.
- Identify practical AI leverage points that compress cycle times, reduce manual effort, and raise output quality.
- Set clear guardrails: ensure AI usage stays within Evora's compliance and data classification policies, and that human accountability is maintained where it matters.
- Stay current on AI developments relevant to finance; bring actionable recommendations to the Global Finance Lead.
