Job Description

We are hiring a Financial Operator for the Founder's & President's Office -- a role designed for someone who lives where numbers meet truth. This is not a reporting role. This is not a dashboard ownership function. This role exists to actively interrogate the financial engine of the business, expose blind spots, identify structural weaknesses and protect the organisation from silent erosion of value.


You will operate at the epicentre of strategy, capital allocation, performance management and executive decision-making. Your mandate is clear: hunt financial breakdowns before they surface on the P&L, challenge narratives before they harden into business folklore, and convert raw data into strategic foresight. This role requires extreme clarity of thought, deep financial instinct, and an unrelenting bias for accuracy, logic and accountability.

Core Purpose

To act as the financial conscience of the Founder's & President's Office by creating high-fidelity financial visibility, surfacing uncomfortable truths, and enforcing discipline across revenue, cost, margin and growth decisions. To move the organisation from perceived performance to real performance.

Key Responsibilities

1.Financial Intelligence and Business Diagnostics

Continuously analyse CM1, CM2, CM3, EBITDA, contribution margins and real profitability across products, cohorts and channels.


Identify early signs of margin erosion, revenue quality dilution and structural financial risks.


Convert complexity into clear insights that enable decisive action.

2.Leakage Detection and Anomaly Hunting

Proactively identify financial leakages, inefficiencies and irregular patterns across P&L lines.


Track unit economics deviations and escalate issues before they become systemic. Build early warning systems that expose breakdowns in real time.

3.Performance Truth vs Performance Narrative

Challenge surface-level growth stories by validating their financial depth.


Deconstruct optimistic projections and stress-test assumptions behind CAC, LTV, retention and monetisation models.


Surface gaps between reported metrics and underlying financial reality.

4.Variance Analysis and Root Cause Mapping

Own deep variance analysis across revenue, cost, margins and operational KPIs.


Identify root causes and recommend corrective action plans linked directly to business levers such as pricing, discounting, campaign efficiency, product prioritisation and risk policies.

5.Strategic Decision Enablement

Act as the financial partner to the Founder and President in evaluating strategic choices including expansion, pricing changes, investments, marketing spend, org design and new product launches.


Provide scenario modelling and financial impact assessments with extreme clarity and precision.

6.Cohort and Behavioural Economics Analysis

Analyse cohort behaviour to evaluate lifetime value quality, repeat usage, monetisation depth and burn efficiency.


Track margin compression patterns and correlate them with behavioural and operational inputs.

7.Accountability and Financial Discipline

Build and enforce a culture of financial ownership across teams.


Translate financial outcomes into business accountability.


Ensure decisions are rooted in commercial clarity, not optimism or inertia.

8.Data Integrity and Financial Hygiene

Ensure absolute rigour in data quality, assumptions, reporting standards and model integrity.


Detect and eliminate inconsistencies, manipulated optics and weak financial logic.


Create processes that prevent narrative-led reporting.

9.Operating Rhythm and Reporting

Establish structured financial review cadences with leadership.


Deliver incisive, decision-oriented financial narratives rather than passive reports.


Ensure the Founder's Office always operates with an accurate real-time view of financial health.

Required Profile

Experience Chartered Accountant (CA) mandatory with 5 to 8 years of post-qualification Experience in high-intensity financial roles across fintech, high-growth startups, investment banking, private equity, management consulting or corporate finance functions. Prior experience working closely with founders or C-suite leadership is strongly preferred. Demonstrated hands-on exposure to deep P&L management, unit economics, profitability analysis, budgetary control and financial diagnostics is critical.

Technical Expertise

Strong mastery of financial modelling, scenario planning, variance analysis and profitability frameworks. Deep understanding of CM1 CM2 CM3, EBITDA, contribution margins, CAC, LTV, cohort analytics and unit economics. Fluency in Excel, financial modelling tools and business intelligence platforms.

Mindset and Behavioural Traits

Extremely high ownership mindset with zero tolerance for ambiguity in numbers. Naturally sceptical of vanity metrics, surface-level KPIs and cosmetic growth. Ability to connect financial outcomes with business decisions at a structural level. Strong bias for clarity, speed, precision and truth. Comfortable operating under pressure, ambiguity and high-stakes environments. Courageous communicator who can challenge leadership narratives with logic and data.

What Success Looks Like

Financial blind spots are detected before they reach leadership forums. Leadership decisions are rooted in real margin intelligence rather than perceived growth. Reduced leakage and stronger contribution margins across key business lines. Improved discipline in capital allocation, pricing and growth investments. The Founder and President operate with high confidence in financial visibility and accuracy. This role is not for those seeking predictability or passive financial analysis. This is for someone who thrives in complexity, pressure and influence. Someone who finds pride not in reporting numbers but in protecting the integrity of the business. * If you want safety, this is not the role. If you want to shape the financial truth of a fast-scaling company and sit at the nerve centre of decision-making, this is where you belong.
