Why this role exists…

As the Snap group continues to scale globally, this role exists to establish and lead a strong, dependable finance operation in India, fully aligned to UK group standards and expectations.
 

You will play a critical role in bringing clarity, structure and ownership to a growing offshore finance function. You’ll ensure consistent, high‑quality finance delivery while creating an environment where people feel supported, developed and accountable.
 

This is a leadership role with real influence. Through building capability, strengthening controls and improving ways of working, you’ll help ensure finance is a trusted, effective partner to the wider business, locally and internationally.

What you’ll be doing…

You’ll lead our soon to grow India‑based finance team and act as a key link between local operations and UK leadership. The role combines hands‑on oversight with people leadership, process improvement and international collaboration.
 

Your responsibilities will include:

• Working with external accountants on local statutory accounting and tax matters

• Partnering with external payroll providers to ensure accurate payroll and employment compliance

• Delivering timely, accurate monthly reporting to the UK group

• Managing intercompany charges and ensuring alignment with group standards

• Acting as the primary liaison with local auditors and external advisors

• Continuously improving finance processes, structure, and ways of working

In your first 3–6 months, success might look like:

• Consistent, reliable month‑end delivery aligned to UK expectations

• Strong working relationships with UK‑based stakeholders

• Clear, repeatable processes in place to support future scale

• Increased confidence from leadership in the India finance operation

What you’ll need to succeed…

We’re looking for a senior finance leader who combines strong technical control with people‑first leadership and international experience.

You might be a great fit if you have:

• Proven people leadership experience, including developing, coaching, and performance‑managing a finance team

• A strong financial control background, overseeing accounting processes, reconciliations, close cycles, and compliance

• Experience working closely with international stakeholders, particularly UK‑based leadership

• High standards and accountability, taking clear ownership of quality, delivery, and timelines

• Experience building or scaling finance operations, adding structure and discipline as organisations grow

• Clear, confident communication skills, able to explain issues, progress, and risks in a practical, solution‑focused way

• 10–15 years’ experience, ideally within professional services or an international business environment

• Previous experience within a UK‑ or Europe‑headquartered group

• Exposure to group reporting or consolidation

• Experience supporting audits or working with external advisors

• Process improvement or transition experience

• A professional accounting qualification (or currently working towards one)=
