Job Description

BETSOL is hiring a Head of FP&A, Sr Director for a confidential client engagement -- a fast-growing, technology-enabled BPO/CX company with global operations. This is a Bangalore-based leadership role reporting into the client's VP of Finance, with a mandate to modernize financial planning and reporting from static, 30-45 day-old data to real-time, proactive decision support.

This leader serves as the primary architect of the company's financial planning, forecasting, and strategic analysis frameworks and acts as a high-impact business partner to executive leadership. Tasked with driving data-driven decision-making, this role translates financial performance into actionable insights that shape corporate strategy and long-term value creation. The Head of FP&A provides advanced financial mentorship, leads enterprise-wide budgeting processes, and partners with C-suite stakeholders to optimize capital allocation and business performance across all international entities.

- Serve as a primary strategic advisor to the Executive Team, delivering data-driven insights and scenario modeling to inform capital allocation and business investments.

- Direct the annual budgeting and rolling forecast processes to ensure alignment between departmental goals and the company's long-term financial roadmap.

- Architect and champion the implementation of advanced BI tools and financial systems (BigQuery, Datarails, Looker) to enhance reporting speed, accuracy, and strategic decision-support.

- Lead Finance involvement in M&A acquisitions, directly supporting financial due diligence (FDD) and post-deal integration.

- Establish KPIs and operational metrics that drive accountability and transparency across all business units.

- Cultivate a high-performing FP&A team, embedding analytical rigor, proactive business partnering, and continuous improvement.

- Drive variance analysis and performance management discussions with business leaders to identify risks and optimize profitability.

- Oversee board-level financial presentations and executive reporting packages that clearly articulate the company's financial story and trajectory.

Qualifications

- Highly tech-savvy, with a proven ability to collaborate with IT/developers to design and implement scalable financial systems and automated analytical solutions (e.g., establishing FP&A tools such as Datarails).

- Comfortable working with data from multiple source systems (ERP, HRIS/ADP, AP platforms such as Bill.com) and driving toward real-time, proactive reporting rather than static, 30-45 day-old data.

- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams.
