ABOUT VANTROCK
Vantrock is India's independent, operator-led real assets platform — real assets only — with logistics and industrial as the first phase of its growth.
Founded by Anshul Singhal, Founder & CEO, who has built three institutional platforms from zero and is building the fourth on his own capital: 52 million sq ft delivered (32 million as developer, 20 million as contractor), 2,000+ acres acquired, 200+ buildings, two SEBI Category II funds run to a successful close, India's first domestic warehousing AIF and India's largest industrial real estate exit — delivered across the founder's three prior platforms.
THE FINANCE & ACCOUNTS TEAM
Vantrock keeps its books in-house. The finance function owns every number from the site to the board.
Five parts under the Chief Financial Officer: Finance & Accounts (the books); FP&A and Asset Management (the forecast and the flag); Corporate Finance and Investor Relations (debt, treasury, lenders); Legal and Compliance; IT.
Twenty-one seats when fully built; sixteen live now, one of them already filled. Small enough that every person in it is known by name to the founder; large enough to run a platform properly. Every seat in the team is a builder's seat: the function does not exist yet in the form described here, and the people who join it now are the ones who will decide what it becomes.
WHAT A LENDER ACTUALLY READS
Every construction facility the platform raises runs on documents: an information pack that makes the asset legible to a credit committee, a model that sculpts the debt to the cash flows, a covenant schedule that will be tested for five years, a monitoring report every quarter, a utilisation statement every drawdown. Someone builds and maintains all of it, and does it well enough that the lender's questions are about the asset, not about the arithmetic.
WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS
The corporate finance function — head, debt desk, manager — is being built from nothing as ground breaks on the first projects. The head holds the institutions; the DGM works the facilities and the treasury; the volume of models, files and monitoring underneath needs a manager who is precise, fast and wants to learn the desk from the ground. It is also the seat from which the platform intends to grow its next debt lead.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
1. The models. Debt models for every facility — sculpting, coverage tests, sensitivities — built to the standard a credit committee expects, reconciled to the FP&A team's project model, and version-controlled.
2. The information pack. For each raise, the pack a lender reads: asset, approvals, construction programme, pre-lease, sponsor, structure — assembled with the FP&A, legal and project teams, and kept current through the process.
3. Monitoring and covenants, day to day. The covenant calendar maintained; every test computed on its date from the books; every monitoring report drafted for the DGM's review and filed on time.
4. Drawdowns and utilisation. Drawdown requests prepared against the construction programme and the payables run; utilisation statements and end-use certificates drafted with the accounts team; conditions precedent tracked to closure.
5. The lender file. Every facility's file complete and current — agreements, security, correspondence, reports — so that an inspection needs no notice.
6. Treasury support. The daily cash position compiled across entities for the DGM; bank documentation prepared; mandates and authorities tracked.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
ESSENTIAL
– 3–5 years in corporate finance, debt or credit — at a developer's or platform's finance team, a bank's or NBFC's real estate lending or credit team, a rating agency, or an advisory desk serving real estate.
– Financial modelling to a lender's standard: you have built a debt model with sculpting and coverage tests from a blank sheet and can explain every line. This will be tested in a case.
– You have prepared or reviewed lender documentation — a term sheet, a facility agreement, a monitoring report, a utilisation statement — and know what each is for.
– Accounting literacy: you can pull the covenant inputs from a trial balance without help.
– Excel at an expert level; comfortable in a document-management or treasury system, and quick to learn one.
– A Chartered Accountant, or an MBA in Finance. Either.
– Based in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, or relocating before joining.
ADVANTAGEOUS
– Time inside a bank's or NBFC's real estate credit team — you have written a credit note.
– Construction-facility exposure specifically: drawdown schedules against programmes, end-use certification.
– Any treasury-operations exposure.
WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT
– Not an analyst's seat on a trading floor. The models here are kept for the tenor of the facility and tested every quarter.
– Not a relationship seat. The head and the DGM hold the lenders; you make sure what they show a lender is right.
– Not a treasury-only seat. Treasury is a part of the work; the debt desk is most of it.
HOW YOU WILL WORK
– Everything runs on the platform's dashboards. Models, the covenant calendar and every lender file live on the operating layer, not in a private folder.
– Judgment is written down. Every model assumption has a source; every covenant test has a computation attached; every file has an index.
– Mumbai Metropolitan Region, full-time, in person.
COMPENSATION
Vantrock benchmarks compensation against the upper quartile for the role and market, weighted toward equity for candidates who want to build with us long-term. We discuss specific numbers in the first conversation rather than anchoring either side prematurely.
Wealth creation is part of the engine, not only the salary: a performance-linked annual bonus, and a path to ESOP-linked incentives as the seat grows — priced to the seat and confirmed in the offer.
CULTURAL FIT
We're building Vantrock over a decade, not a funding cycle. We're looking for people who treat technology as the default answer rather than a supplement, who want to be co-builders of the platform rather than employees executing instructions, and who are comfortable saying "I don't know" and "I was wrong." If you want a defined role with defined edges, this isn't the right seat. If you want to help build an institution from zero, it might be.
AI proficiency is a standing requirement in every Vantrock seat. You work fluently with AI tools for research, modelling, drafting and analysis, and you build on the platform's dashboards rather than around them. A supervised AI Proficiency Test is part of the process for every seat, at every level of seniority, and we say so openly.
Partner command is the second standing requirement. The books are ours, but auditors, banks, the fund administrator, valuers, law firms and system vendors are commanded by this team — briefed, held to a standard, integrated — never deferred to. We hire for judgment and accountability.
HOW WE WILL ASSESS
Everyone who applies hears from us within two working days. It carries two links: a fixed set of six questions answered by AI interview — about forty minutes, and the first work sample; we review it before the CV — and the Vantrock AI Proficiency Test, which every hire takes at every level. From there:
1. The Model conversation. The best debt model you have built: what facility, what it decided, what you would change. With the DGM — Debt Raising & Treasury, or the Head — Corporate Finance & Investor Relations until that seat is filled.
2. A 90-minute supervised case. A project cash flow and a draft term sheet — from which you build the debt schedule, compute the coverage tests, flag the two covenants the asset would breach in a downside case, and draft the utilisation statement for the first drawdown. Reviewed with the DGM and the Head.
3. Reference. One former reporting manager, contacted directly.
Once we have received your application, your AI interview and your test, we will reach out with next steps. Your application is confidential: it is seen only by the Founder's Office and the hiring lead, and nothing is shared with your current employer or referenced without your consent.
