About The Opportunity A profitable, rapid-growing, PE Backed- dairy and F&B; business — selling across D2C and B2B channels and backed by a leading growth-equity investor — is looking for a Head of Finance to build the financial backbone for its next stage of scale. The business runs a lean, highly automated operating model with strong in-house technology. Finance today is a lean, capable setup; the mandate now is to professionalise and scale it putting in place the systems, controls, and reporting that a growing, institutionally-backed company needs.

The Role

Select and implement an ERP, moving the business onto a scalable, automated platform

Design and institutionalise SOPs across finance, procurement, and operations interfaces

Build a robust MIS and management reporting cadence for the leadership team and investors

Own statutory compliance,



audit readiness, and financial controls

Partner with operations on unit economics and the plant operating model

Manage cash flow, working capital, and procurement finance in a supply-chain-heavy business

Support investor and board-level financial reporting What We're Looking For Qualified CA (or equivalent) with 8–15 years of progressive finance experience

Big 4 audit background or significant Big 4 audit exposure

Hands-on experience implementing an ERP — having led or co-led a rollout

Proven track record of building SOPs, MIS, and financial controls in a growing or founder-led business

Comfort operating hands-on in a lean setup while building for scale
