Job Description

  • Elite Financial Modelling: Master-level proficiency in Excel; capable of building dynamic, three-statement financial models, DCF valuations, and complex scenario analyses from scratch.
  • Consultative Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to apply MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) frameworks to break down ambiguous business challenges.
  • Executive Presence: High emotional intelligence with the ability to push back, influence, and align cross-functional VP/C-level stakeholders without formal authority.
  • Data-to-Insight Translation: Familiarity with modern BI tools (Tableau, PowerBI) and a proven track record of synthesizing massive datasets into concise, actionable executive presentations.

1. Strategic FP&A & Enterprise Forecasting

  • Own the end-to-end Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) lifecycle, serving as the ultimate custodian of the business's financial trajectory.
  • Orchestrate bottom-up and top-down forecasting cycles by partnering seamlessly with Operations, Technology, Analytics, and Client-Facing departments.
  • Ensure all revenue and cost forecasts are rigorously pressure-tested, aligned with corporate growth targets, and optimized for margin expansion.

2. Business Intelligence, Risk Mitigation & Insight Generation

  • Deconstruct the business into its core operational and financial levers to establish a proactive, data-driven governance framework.
  • Design and implement an executive "early warning system"—setting up automated alerts and real-time dashboards to identify emerging operational risks or margin leakages.
  • Translate complex real-time data into strategic insights, empowering business heads to course-correct instantly and capitalize on internal optimization opportunities.

3. Cross-Functional KPI Leadership & Team Management

  • Lead, mentor, and quality-control the output of a two-person centralized reporting team, elevating their work from basic data gathering to executive-level synthesis.
  • Harmonize fragmented reporting structures by designing comprehensive dashboards that integrate Financial, Operational, HR, and Technological KPIs into a single source of truth.
  • Ensure absolute data integrity and narrative clarity before executive distribution, translating technical or operational metrics into compelling business narratives.
  • Lead the financial and strategic evaluation of all new market opportunities, product launches, and strategic pursuits.
  • Architect robust, standardized financial models and business case templates to determine the ROI, payback period, and strategic viability of prospective investments.
  • Act as a vital "gatekeeper" for capital allocation, advising the executive board on strict financial and operational parameters that must be met before a pursuit is greenlit.
  • Top-Tier Pedigree: MBA from a premier institution (IIMs, ISB, XLRI, or global equivalents) or CA/CFA charterholder with an exceptional academic track record.
  • Relevant Tenure: 6–9 years of progressive experience, with a mandatory background in top-tier Strategy Consulting (MBB, Monitor Deloitte, Strategy&, Kearney) or Investment Banking / Private Equity.
  • Industry Nuance: Prior exposure to the Payment Integrity, Healthcare RCM, FinTech, or IT/ITES sectors is highly advantageous but not mandatory.
