Chennai (Work From Office)
Role Overview
The CFO will act as a close strategic partner to the CEO and Board, serving as the financial architect for ’s next phase of expansion. The role balances three strategic priorities: compounding the profitable core, executing high-yield capital allocation (including M&A and new ventures), and driving proactive investor relations.
Because this is explicitly a Growth CFO mandate rather than a traditional compliance/stewardship role, the incumbent will bring an operator and investor mindset to deploy surplus balance sheet capacity, evaluate unit economics of incubated verticals, optimize cash productivity, and build long-term enterprise value.
Responsibilities
Growth Strategy & Capital Allocation: Drive capital deployment by setting return targets, funding new projects in stages, and reviewing performance across the core business, new bets, and acquisitions.
Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A): Lead the end-to-end M&A pipeline—target evaluation, deal structuring, due diligence, negotiation, execution, and post-merger integration to acquire capabilities, new user pools, or adjacent platforms.

Investor Relations & Roadshows: Sharpen and communicate the equity story to institutional investors, PE/VC funds, and analysts through roadshows, earnings calls, and transparent capital-market outreach.
Innovation & Incubation Governance: Partner with business heads of Many Jobs, Mandap & Wed-Assist, , and other new verticals; establish unit economics, stage-gate funding, KPI dashboards, and ROI accountability.

Treasury & Balance-Sheet Productivity: Protect liquidity, manage cash flow, and design investment policies aligned with risk-return profiles while ensuring capital readiness for strategic growth.
Regulatory Compliance & Governance: Oversee accounting standards, tax, statutory audits, SEBI/listing compliance, and Board reporting to maintain top-tier governance standards.
Legal & Commercial Enablement: Oversee the legal function, strengthening commercial contracting, transaction management, IP/data considerations, and regulatory risk mitigation.
Finance Transformation & Automation: Build a high-performing finance team while driving AI-enabled finance workflows, process automation, faster month-end closes, and real-time executive dashboards.
