Account Manager

About the Role

This role is the single owner of the company's statutory compliance calendar, banking and trade finance interface, and accounting control environment — across the New Delhi head office, project sites, and the Birkoni manufacturing facility in Chhattisgarh.

You will be expected to build the systems — compliance calendars, document checklists and reconciliation formats — that make the function repeatable rather than person-dependent.
