Lead, Enterprise Onboarding
ABOUT SHESHI
Bringing Sanctity to Numbers
Sheshi is a Financial Operating System, the governed infrastructure layer that converts raw financial data into results that organisations can completely trust. Governed, auditable, period-locked, and traceable to the source.
We are headquartered in Bangalore, building an enterprise-grade product for the global market.
Bringing an enterprise customer onto Sheshi is a complete undertaking, their entities need to be structured correctly, their chart of accounts and reporting hierarchies configured, their consolidation and multi-currency setup built out, and their financial history brought in accurately where required. Every one of these has to be right, because everything the customer sees afterward is built on this foundation.
As Lead, Enterprise Onboarding, you own this foundation end to end. You build the methodology this team runs on, stay hands-on enough to solve the hardest configuration, consolidation, and reconciliation problems yourself, and lead a team of finance professionals who bring customers live with speed and precision.
WHY SHESHI
What Makes This Role Worth Doing
Real ownership from day one. You design the methodology, own the portfolio, and are the final authority on go-live readiness.
Work that shapes how the customer experiences Sheshi. How an account is structured and configured determines whether the customer trusts what they see from day one.
A team you build. You hire, coach, and grow a team of finance professionals, with real say in who joins and how they develop.
Player-coach by design. You stay hands-on in the hardest problems, not just in the management of people who solve them.
RESPONSIBILITIES
What You Will Own
Account Structuring and Configuration
- Own how every enterprise account is structured on Sheshi, entity hierarchies, chart of accounts, reporting structures, and close settings.
- Design and own the configuration methodology for multi-entity, multi-GAAP, and multi-currency customers, ensuring it is built correctly the first time.
- Personally lead structuring and configuration for the largest, most complex, or highest-risk customer accounts.
Consolidation Setup
- Own the approach to consolidation configuration, intercompany relationships, elimination rules, and group-level reporting structure.
- Step in directly when a consolidation structure is genuinely complex or a customer's group structure does not fit standard patterns.
Historical Data Migration and Validation
- Own the methodology for migrating historical MIS and statutory financials where a customer requires it — run as a real closing exercise, not a data dump.
- Own final sign-off on historical data accuracy, entity configuration, and consolidation setup before any customer goes live.
Portfolio Ownership and Reporting
- Maintain visibility across every customer currently onboarding , status, risk, and timeline for each, and report this honestly to the Customer Success Head.
- Decide where the team's effort goes when multiple customers are onboarding simultaneously and priorities compete.
Team Building and Development
- Own hiring for the team, define what you are looking for, run interviews, and make the call on who joins.
- Run direct feedback and coaching with each team member on functional quality, customer handling, and pace.
- Give team members increasing ownership as they demonstrate readiness, there is no fixed ceiling on what a strong team member can grow into.
Relationship Ownership Across Functions
- Be the primary point of contact for Sales and Presales when a deal being scoped will affect onboarding complexity or timeline.
- Own the relationship with Product and Engineering for platform gaps discovered during configuration or migration.
- Ensure a clean, well-timed handover to Customer Success once a customer is fully live and validated.
