We are seeking an experienced professional — MBA or a qualified Chartered Accountant (CA), with a minimum of 3–5 years post-qualification experience (PQE) — to serve as a trusted right hand to the Managing Director (MD) of a diversified group with multiple business interests. This is a senior support role for a candidate who has hands-on experience managing a business or business unit, and can now bring that operational and financial judgment to support the MD across several ventures simultaneously.
This is not an entry-level PA position — we are looking for someone who has previously run, co-run, or held significant operational/financial responsibility within a business, and is now seeking a role working closely with ownership/leadership.
Tasks
Oversee day-to-day coordination across the MD's multiple business interests, ensuring priorities are tracked and deadlines met
Review and manage business finance and accounts, including monitoring cash flow, budgets, and financial reporting from each business unit
Manage the MD's diary, scheduling, and stakeholder liaison, prioritising competing demands and ensuring efficient use of the MD's time
Follow up on action items, decisions, and correspondence on behalf of the MD across all business units
Draft, edit, and proofread reports, and executive summaries for internal and external stakeholders
Identify, escalate, and summarise operational or financial issues requiring the MD's attention, with recommended courses of action
Liaise with department heads, external advisors (legal, accounting, banking), and business partners on the MD's behalf
Support strategic projects, including business reviews, market research, and investment or expansion proposals
Maintain confidentiality and exercise sound judgment when handling sensitive business and financial information
Requirements
MBA from a recognised institution OR a qualified Chartered Accountant (CA) — finance, general management, or strategy background preferred
Minimum 3–5 years of post-qualification experience (PQE), with proven experience managing a business, business unit, or department — real operational or P&L responsibility, not purely staff/support experience
Ideally, prior experience supporting senior leadership or a business owner with multiple ventures
Strong financial literacy: able to read management accounts, interpret cash flow statements, and flag anomalies
Excellent written English, with proven ability to produce polished reports, summaries, and correspondence
Highly organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple workstreams under time pressure
Discreet, trustworthy, and professional, with strong stakeholder management skills
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
Based in or willing to work Delhi NCR hours; role is remote but requires strong availability and responsiveness, including occasional flexibility outside standard hours
Benefits
Direct exposure to senior leadership and cross-business strategic decision-making
Remote working flexibility with a Delhi NCR-based preference
Competitive salary of ₹3–6 LPA, based on experience
Opportunity to build a long-term career supporting a growing multi-business group
