Mission Brief: Build the Financial Brain of a Global Supply Chain
Lenskart's supply chain is one of the most complex and fast-moving in consumer-tech — spanning procurement, manufacturing, and last-mile delivery across India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. We manage billions in inventory, run vertically integrated manufacturing at scale, and are aggressively building towards a real-time, AI-driven supply chain.
This role is the financial intelligence layer that makes all of it smarter.
As our Supply Chain Business Finance Partner, you won't just report numbers — you will define the decisioning architecture that governs how we invest, cut cost, and scale. You will sit at the intersection of finance, operations, and technology, turning data into conviction and conviction into action. This is a builder's role for a systems thinker who sees finance as a product, not a function.
Core Mandate: What You Will Build & Drive
-
Financial Architecture for a World-Class Supply Chain Own the end-to-end financial blueprint of our supply chain — from AOP to real-time cost intelligence. You will design the planning frameworks, KPI systems, and forecasting models that link every operational driver to financial outcomes. Move us from periodic reviews to always-on financial visibility.
-
Cost Leadership & Margin Intelligence Drive cost-to-serve reduction and margin expansion across procurement, manufacturing, and logistics. You won't just track costs — you will build the analytical models that identify where inefficiencies hide, quantify the opportunity, and drive structural interventions with supply chain leaders. Every basis point matters at our scale.
-
Building the AI-First Financial Intelligence Layer Lead the design and deployment of automated financial dashboards, predictive cost models, and real-time variance engines. Work directly with data engineers and BI teams to replace static spreadsheets with live, insight-led decision tools. Your north star: no supply chain decision at Lenskart should be made without a financial model behind it.
-
Investment & Capital Allocation Be the financial architect for every major capex decision — automation investments, network expansion, manufacturing capacity. Build robust ROI frameworks and scenario models that give leadership the confidence to bet big and the discipline to kill what doesn't work.
-
Working Capital & Cash Intelligence Own inventory efficiency as a financial mandate. Build models that connect buying decisions to cash flow outcomes, reduce obsolescence, and drive smarter Open-to-Buy strategies. Turn working capital from a lagging metric into a leading lever.
-
Cross-Functional Business Partnering Operate as a true business partner — embedded with supply chain, procurement, and operations leaders. Bring financial structure to strategic conversations, challenge assumptions with data, and ensure every major supply chain decision is grounded in rigorous financial thinking.
The Essentials
-
CA / MBA with 10–15 years in business finance or FP&A, with meaningful exposure to supply chain, operations, or manufacturing environments.
- Experience in consumer, retail, e-commerce, FMCG, or manufacturing-led businesses.
- Strong command of financial modeling, cost structures, performance analytics, and ERP/BI ecosystems.
The Mindset — This Is What Sets You Apart
-
Systems Thinker: You see the supply chain as an interconnected system, not a set of line items. You build financial models that reflect operational reality, not just accounting logic.
-
AI-First Operator: You are impatient with manual processes. You default to automation, data pipelines, and predictive models. You know your way around BI tools, ERP systems, and data layers — and you push your teams to build, not just report.
-
Builder's Instinct: You leave things better than you found them. You are not here to maintain — you are here to architect, scale, and continuously improve the financial infrastructure of a global supply chain.
-
Bias for Impact: You move fast, prioritize ruthlessly, and measure yourself by outcomes — cost saved, margin improved, decisions accelerated. You are equally comfortable in the boardroom and the warehouse floor.
Why This Role Changes Your Career
In two years, you will have built the financial operating system for one of the world's most ambitious supply chains. You will have worked alongside founders and senior leaders, made decisions that moved hundreds of millions in cost and capital, and created infrastructure that outlasts you.
This is not a finance role with a supply chain flavour. This is a leadership mandate at the heart of Lenskart's global growth engine.
Why Lenskart — Right Now
We are scaling across India, SEA, and the Middle East at a pace most companies never experience. We are building proprietary technology, vertically integrated manufacturing, and AI-driven operations — all at the same time. The people who join us now will define what Lenskart becomes.
If you are a finance leader who thinks like a founder, builds like an engineer, and moves like an operator — this role was written for you.
