Why this is worth applying to
Clinicians without a strong finance/accounting background and CA/MBA qualification should not apply; this is a senior corporate finance role requiring deep Indian tax and controllership experience.
Who should apply
Finance professionals with CA/MBA, 15+ years in MNC finance, and Indian tax/audit expertise; clinicians with a prior finance career may consider only if they meet those requirements.
CV angle
If you have a finance background alongside clinical training, emphasize financial controlling, tax compliance, audit leadership, budgeting, internal controls, and pharma/MNC exposure. Otherwise, this role is not a viable clinical-to-nonclinical pivot without additional finance credentials.
Skills to highlight
- Financial controlling
- Tax compliance (GST, TDS, Income Tax, Transfer Pricing)
- Audit management
- Budgeting and forecasting
- Internal controls and risk management
- Treasury and cash management
- Business partnering
- Finance systems and transformation
