About this role

JOB SUMMARY
We are looking for an experienced Lead Financial Analyst to drive our Recovery Audit function out of our Mangalore office. The ideal candidate brings hands-on Accounts Payable experience from a large MNC environment, has led and developed a team (including performance management and appraisals), and is comfortable engaging senior stakeholders from client organizations across North America/Europe and other geographies. Beyond the core finance mandate, this role also carries light-touch oversight of office coordination – partnering with HR and Admin functions and liaising with vendors to ensure smooth day-to-day operations at the center.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Accounts Payable & Recovery Audit Delivery
  • Lead end-to-end Accounts Payable audit/recovery audit engagements, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and quality of deliverables.
  • Review vendor master data, invoices, payment records, and contracts to identify overpayments, duplicate payments, and recovery opportunities.
  • Ensure adherence to client-specific SOPs, audit methodologies, and internal quality benchmarks.
  • Drive process improvements and automation opportunities within the AP audit workflow.
Team Leadership & People Management
  • Manage, mentor, and develop a team of financial analysts, ensuring balanced workload distribution and productivity.
  • Own the end-to-end performance management cycle for the team – goal-setting, periodic reviews, and annual appraisals.
  • Identify skill gaps and coordinate training / upskilling initiatives to strengthen team capability.
  • Foster a collaborative, high-accountability team culture and support career development conversations.
Client & Stakeholder Management
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for senior client stakeholders.  
  • Conduct regular status calls, present findings, and manage client expectations across different time zones.
  • Build long-term, trust-based relationships with client finance and procurement teams.
  • Prepare and present recovery audit findings, dashboards, and reports to client leadership.
Centre / Office Coordination (HR & Admin Support)
  • Act as a coordination point between the Mangalore centre and the central HR/Admin teams on day-to-day office matters.
  • Coordinate with vendors (facilities, IT, housekeeping, transport, etc.) to ensure smooth office operations.
  • Support local employee engagement, onboarding logistics, and general office administration as needed.
  • Escalate and follow up on facility or vendor-related issues to ensure timely resolution.
KEY REQUIREMENTS
  • Prior experience in Accounts Payable, preferably within a large multinational corporation (MNC) or a shared services / GBS environment.
  • Prior experience in Recovery audit is an additional advantage.
  • Demonstrated experience leading a team, including direct ownership of performance management and the appraisal process.
  • Proven track record of managing senior client-side stakeholders, particularly from the USA, Canada, Europe, or other international geographies.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; comfortable presenting to and corresponding with senior client leadership.
  • Willingness to take on light office/centre coordination responsibilities alongside core finance duties, working with HR, Admin, and external vendors.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.
  • Proficiency in MS Excel; familiarity with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Coupa, or similar) is an advantage.
  • Flexibility to work in shifts aligned with US / Canada / Europe time zones, as required.
EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION
  • Bachelor’s degree in Commerce, Finance, Accounting, or a related field (B.Com / BBA / BBM).
  • MCom/ MBA / PGDM in Finance is preferred.
  • A professional certification (e.g., CA-Inter, CMA, CPA) is an additional advantage.
WHY JOIN DISCOVER DOLLAR TECHNOLOGIES
  • Opportunity to lead a high-visibility function combining finance delivery, people leadership, and client management.
  • Exposure to global clients across retail and non-retail sectors.
  • Collaborative work culture with clear growth pathways into senior finance leadership roles.
