Domain Analyst — Procurement (Chartered Accountant)Experience: 2–4 years post-qualification, in industry

Qualification: Chartered Accountant

Location: Bangalore (in-office)

Reports to: CTO / Product

About the RoleZenalyst builds an enterprise agentic execution layer for the CFO's office. ZenProcur, our procure-to-pay product, automates the flow from indent through tendering, purchase order, goods receipt, three-way match, invoice processing and vendor payment for large enterprises.

We need a Chartered Accountant who has actually worked the P2P cycle in industry to sit inside the product team. Engineers can build the workflow; they cannot tell you why a GRN quantity mismatch is treated differently from a rate mismatch, what a controller will refuse to approve, or where GST input credit will be lost if the sequence is wrong. That is your job.

You are the domain authority. You define what "correct" means, and you are accountable when the output is wrong.

ResponsibilitiesDomain ownership

- Define the functional logic across the procure-to-pay cycle: indent, RFQ and e-tendering, vendor comparison, PO issue, amendments, GRN, three-way match, invoice booking, and payment release
- Own the matching rules — quantity, rate, tax, tolerance thresholds, and what happens to each class of exception
- Define the approval matrix logic: delegation of authority, value bands, entity and project-wise routing, and escalation
- Specify vendor onboarding and master data rules — GSTIN, PAN, MSME status, bank account verification, duplicate detection
- Own the tax treatment: GST input credit conditions, TDS applicability and rates by nature of payment, RCM cases
- Define the accounting treatment behind every automated action, including what posts to the ERP and when
- Set the accuracy bar for AI-generated output — invoice extraction, PO matching,



classification — and sign off before it reaches a customer

Product

- Write functional specifications engineers can build from without guessing
- Test the product as a controller or procurement head would, and file what is wrong before a customer finds it
- Review AI-generated outputs against real documents and quantify where they fail
- Prioritise the backlog on domain grounds, alongside product and engineering

Customer-facing

- Run discovery with customer finance and procurement teams to map their existing P2P process
- Support implementation: chart of accounts mapping, vendor master migration, approval matrix configuration, tax masters
- Handle functional escalations directly with customer controllers and procurement heads
- Support pre-sales and demos when the buyer wants to speak to someone who has done the job

RequirementsEssential

- Chartered Accountant, with 2–4 years post-qualification experience in industry (not exclusively in practice or audit)
- Hands-on procure-to-pay, accounts payable or financial control experience — you have processed or reviewed vendor invoices, run three-way match, or owned payment runs
- Solid working knowledge of GST — input credit conditions, reconciliation with GSTR-2B, ineligible credits — and TDS provisions on vendor payments
- Working knowledge of an ERP — SAP MM/FI, Oracle, Tally or Dynamics — from the user side, including how PO, GRN and invoice documents actually post
- Advanced Excel; comfortable with large datasets




- Ability to write clearly and precisely; ambiguity in a spec becomes a bug
- Comfortable being questioned by engineers and defending your answer with reasoning, not authority

Strongly preferred

- Real estate, infrastructure or construction sector experience — work orders, running account bills, retention and mobilisation advances, subcontractor payments, project-wise cost allocation
- Exposure to tendering or vendor evaluation processes
- Multi-entity or group AP exposure, including intercompany
- Experience implementing or being the finance-side owner of a system rollout
- Some SQL, or genuine willingness to learn enough to query data yourself

Nice to have

- Exposure to procurement platforms — SAP Ariba, Coupa, Zoho, or similar
- Statutory portal familiarity: GST portal, TDS TRACES, MCA21
- Interest in AI and automation, and a view on where it should and should not be trusted
- Prior startup exposure

Who This SuitsA CA who found the work more interesting than the designation, and who wants to build the system rather than operate it. You should be curious about how software gets made, willing to sit in engineering conversations you only half follow at first, and unwilling to let something inaccurate ship because the deadline was tight. This is not an internal finance role. You are not processing our payables.

What We Offer

- Domain authority over a product used by enterprise CFO offices
- A rare seat: finance expertise applied to building, not reporting
- Direct access to founders — our CEO is a CA and understands exactly what you bring
- Real customer exposure at senior levels from month one
- Competitive fixed compensation plus ESOP
