Role Overview
Godrej Finance is looking for a National Head – Channel Sales to lead the dealer and vendor financing charter for its Supply Chain Finance business on a national scale. This role owns the end-to-end channel sales strategy — driving both anchor-led financing (dealers/vendors of onboarded anchor corporates) and open-market invoice discounting opportunities — while building and leading a high-performing, multi-zone sales team.

Anchor-Led Financing: Work closely with the Anchor Partnerships team to translate anchor program mandates into on-ground dealer/vendor onboarding and disbursement.
Open Market Opportunities: Identify and drive standalone invoice discounting opportunities outside anchor programs, expanding channel sales beyond anchor-tied business.
Team Leadership: Build, lead, and mentor the channel sales team; set targets, drive performance management, and build a strong sales culture and succession pipeline.
Portfolio Quality & Risk Management: Partner with Credit and Risk teams to ensure sound underwriting practices, healthy portfolio quality, and proactive management of delinquencies across the book.
Zonal Execution:



Provide direction and support to zonal/regional sales heads to ensure consistent execution of channel sales strategy, product adoption, and process compliance.
Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with Product, Technology, Operations, and Finance teams to ensure smooth onboarding, disbursement, and servicing processes for dealers/vendors.
