About the Role

We're looking for a business finance expert to drive business planning, performance analysis, and commercial decision-making. You'll lead the financial strategy behind our biggest bets: expanding storytelling formats, optimizing global content launches, scaling AI-powered production, and refining user acquisition economics.

You'll work directly with functional leaders, run point on key business cases, simplify complex trade-offs, and ensure we're compounding in the right direction.

What will you do?

  • Leading AOPs, budgeting cycles, and long-term planning across geographies and verticals
  • Create and evaluate business cases, investment proposals, and ROI models to support strategic decisions
  • Work with business heads to drive financial strategy and execution across high-impact initiatives
  • Track key performance metrics, identify trends, and recommend actions to improve profitability
  • Prepare and present MIS reports and dashboards for leadership, enabling data-backed decisions
  • Lead commercial negotiations, manage vendor contracts, and drive cost optimization across teams
  • Leverage industry experience in digital media, consumer internet, or streaming to inform financial strategy

What we're looking for

  • Chartered Accountant (CA) or MBA (Finance), with a strong foundation in business finance and strategic thinking
  • Sharp financial acumen with the ability to translate numbers into actionable insights
  • Over 10 years of hands-on experience in financial modeling, forecasting tools, and performance tracking frameworks
  • A business-first mindset — someone who can see finance as a lever for scale, not just control
  • Bias for action — thrives in ambiguity and solves problems with a first-principles approach
  • Experience in high-growth consumer-tech, media-tech, or streaming businesses is a strong advantage
