Role Description

- Ensure compliance with MPEDA, FSSAI, customs/export regulations and applicable EU/US/Japan/China import-side documentation requirements
- Own statutory compliance calendar - GST, TDS, ROC filings, PF/ESI, and other applicable filings

- Partner with Export, Domestic B2B, R&D; and Operations heads on budgeting, cost-per-unit tracking and margin protection

Experience

- 8–12 year’s total post-qualification experience, with at least 3–4 years in a finance leadership role (Finance Manager / Controller or equivalent)
