About the Role:

The Lead – Manufacturing/Plant Commercial will act as the strategic finance and commercial business partner for Manufacturing and Plant Operations, while also owning the organization-wide Accounts Payable function. The role is anchored on two strategic pillars: driving enterprise-wide cost optimization with a sharp focus on manufacturing, and strengthening plant-level commercial discipline and payables governance.

This is fundamentally a leadership and stakeholder-orchestration role. The incumbent will lead a team of finance managers, translate organizational priorities into executable plans, and drive outcomes by aligning cross-functional stakeholders – operating through the team rather than delivering transactional work directly.

Key Responsibilities:

Commercial Strategy, Cost Management & Profitability:

• Architect and lead the organization’s annual cost-optimization agenda across manufacturing, identifying structural savings opportunities while safeguarding quality, delivery, and operational continuity.
• Institutionalize should-cost modelling, competitive benchmarking, and price-trend analysis to build a fact-based foundation for manufacturing strategy and negotiations.
• Establish a rigorous savings governance mechanism – validating, tracking, and reconciling realized savings against finance systems to protect the credibility of reported numbers.
• Proactively surface sources of cost leakage, including price variances and unrealized rebates or credits, and drive time-bound corrective action with category owners.
• Partner closely with Manufacturing, R&D, and Operations leadership to convert value-engineering ideas into implementable, measurable initiatives.

Manufacturing Commercial – COGS & Cost Management:

• Own the plant’s commercial rhythm, including periodic physical stock verification and inventory reconciliation, to safeguard asset integrity and ensure clean financial reporting.
• Lead plant-level budgeting, the annual operating plan (AOP), and periodic re-forecasting, embedding financial discipline into plant decision-making.
• Build robust ROI and financial feasibility frameworks to evaluate plant CAPEX, productivity, and process-improvement investments, ensuring capital is deployed against the highest-value opportunities.
• Track manufacturing cost trends, productivity metrics, and material consumption patterns to surface early warning signals and identify improvement levers.
• Maintain a strong on-ground presence at the Chakan plant, partnering with Plant, Operations, and Supply Chain teams to strengthen planning discipline and financial governance at the shop-floor level.
• Own end-to-end COGS analysis, underpinned by a deep, working command of Bills of Material (BOM) and their cost implications.
• Lead SAP standard and actual costing runs, investigating variances and ensuring costing outputs accurately reflect ground realities.
• Develop forward-looking costing forecasts that inform pricing, sourcing, and manufacturing decisions.
• Proactively identify and resolve BOM discrepancies and structural issues that could distort costing accuracy, partnering with R&D and Manufacturing to maintain data integrity.

Accounts Payable Management:

• Own the organization-wide Accounts Payable function through the Manager – Accounts Payable, ensuring vendor payments are processed accurately, on time, and within approved commercial terms.
• Strengthen AP controls and process discipline, ensuring adherence to the Delegation of Authority (DOA), agreed payment terms, and internal control requirements.
• Partner with Treasury, Sourcing, and Plant teams to optimize payment cycles, improve working capital efficiency, and capture early-payment or rebate opportunities where available.

Audit Coordination:

• Serve as the coordination point for internal and statutory audits spanning Manufacturing, Plant, and Accounts Payable.
• Partner with Internal Audit to address, close, and prevent recurrence of audit observations, strengthening the overall control environment.
• Maintain continuous audit readiness across the team through disciplined documentation, process compliance, and timely evidence management.

Team Leadership & Stakeholder Management:

• Build, lead, and develop a team of managers spanning Plant Commercial and Accounts Payable, setting clear priorities and holding the team accountable for outcomes.
• Operate as the primary point of commercial and financial alignment across Manufacturing, Plant, R&D, Treasury, Supply Chain, and Audit stakeholders.
• Drive execution discipline through the team, proactively surfacing and resolving cross-functional bottlenecks.
• Deliver consolidated, insight-driven management reporting covering cost savings, plant commercial performance and Accounts Payable.

Key Skills & Competencies:

• Manufacturing Commercial Acumen
• Cost Management, COGS & Costing (BOM, SAP Standard/Actual Costing)
• Plant Commercial Management (Stock Verification, Budgeting, ROI Evaluation)
• Accounts Payable Oversight & Working Capital Management
• Financial Analysis & Strategic Business Partnering
• Budgeting, Forecasting & Cost Control
• MIS Reporting & Data-driven Decision Support
• SAP & ERP Systems Proficiency
• Audit, Controls & Compliance
• Team Leadership & People Development
• Cross-functional Stakeholder Management
• Strong Analytical & Structured Problem-Solving Skills

Experience:

• Chartered Accountant (CA) / Cost & Management Accountant (CMA) – 2018 – 2022 passout
• 5 – 8 years of progressive experience in Commercial Finance, Manufacturing Finance, or Plant Finance, including demonstrated experience leading a team.
• Prior exposure to a manufacturing, consumer durables, engineering, or supply chain-intensive environment strongly preferred.
• Hands‑on experience with SAP costing (BOM, standard and actual costing runs) preferred.
