JOB DESCRIPTION
Role: Finance Director (Strategic Projects & CFO Office)
Location: — India (Noida )Reporting To: Group Chief Financial Officer (UAE)
Travel: Frequent international travel (UAE HQ & Global Offices)
The Role: Architect Our Future Before You Lead It
This is not a traditional "mind the shop" Finance Director role. It is a strategic launchpad for a
future C-Suite leader.
The client is a Private Equity-backed, high-growth global leader in Primary Source
Verification (PSV). We are growing fast, processing significant transaction volumes with the
overarching goal to enable trusted global migration.
We are looking for a Finance Director to join the "CFO Office" as a high-impact individual
contributor. You will initially focus on critical transformation projects—specifically our ERP
maturation, system-driven reporting development, and integrations—while acting as the
strategic right hand to the CFO.
The Trajectory: You will start by leading projects, not people. Once you have optimized our
systems and demonstrated strategic value, the intent is for this role to evolve into overseeing
the wider finance function.
Key Missions (The First 12-18 Months)
The ERP Transformation & Systems Integration
We have recently migrated to the cloud. Your immediate mandate is to drive this from
"implemented" to "optimized."
● Defining "Optimized": To us, "optimized" means achieving Zero-Touch Automation for
standard transactions and eliminating manual spreadsheet interventions. It means
transitioning from static monthly reporting to dynamic, system-generated dashboards
that provide real-time visibility. You will build a system that serves the business logic,
rather than constraining it.
● Banking & Tech Integration: Lead the integration of our ERP with our global banking
partners and internal proprietary software. We need automated, seamless data flow, not
manual workarounds.
● Scalability: We are a high-volume transaction business. You must ensure our systems
can handle double our current volume without breaking.
● Data Architecture: Work with IT and Finance to ensure the ERP structure supports
granular, real-time reporting for a Private Equity environment.
Strategic "CFO Office" Projects
You will operate as an extension of the CFO, handling high-stakes initiatives that fall outside
the day-to-day general ledger / FP&A scope:
● M&A & Expansion: Assist in financial due diligence for acquisitions and modeling for
new market entries.
● Beyond Finance: Gain exposure to Legal, Contracts, and Compliance. You will review and
assist the CFO in managing legal and compliance risks—learning to protect the business,
not just oversee the financials.
● Commercial Modeling: Partner with business heads to model pricing and product
strategies for new products in a dynamic, fast-paced market.
Future Operational Leadership
● While you won't immediately manage the large finance team (which is currently led by our
Group Financial Controller and Head of FP&A), you must build the credibility to eventually
be prepared to lead them.
● You will act as a mentor and "force multiplier" for the existing leadership, helping them
upgrade processes to match our significant growth rate.
The Candidate Profile
The Must-Haves:
● Integrations: You have led or played a key role in an ERP optimization or complex
systems integration project (e.g., connecting billing systems to GL).
● High-Volume DNA: You come from a sector with high transaction counts (e.g., B2C Tech,
Logistics, Fintech, Telecoms, etc). You understand that in a high-volume business, a
"small" process error may create a significant downstream issue.
● Operational Ownership & Earned Progression: You understand that the "CFO Path" is
a privilege earned through delivery, not a promise. You are ready to roll up your sleeves,
dig into the data, and do the heavy lifting required to build trust. We are looking for a
builder who takes ownership, not just an overseer.
● Your craft has been ensuring growth for an organisation through FP& A skills and craft.
● Private Equity / High-Growth Pace: You are comfortable in a dynamic environment
where the goalposts move fast. You don't need a handbook; you write the handbook.
● Qualified: CA, CPA, ACCA, or MBA Finance with a solid accounting foundation.
The "Future CFO" Traits:
● Tech-Fluent: You can speak "API" and "Database" as fluently as you speak "EBITDA" and
"Cash Flow".
● Broad Aperture: You are interested in the commercial and operational engines of the
business—how we sell, how we deliver, and how we scale—not just the finance
department.
● Executive Presence: You can represent the CFO in meetings with senior stakeholders
and external partners.
What We Offer
● The Path: A clear, performance-based runway to senior group leadership.
● The Mentorship: Direct access to a Group CFO who oversees Finance, Legal,
Compliance, and M&A/Strategy financials.
● The Perks: Competitive package with travel perks to our Dubai HQ and other global
offices.
