Head – Finance Operations

Company Description Titan Engineering & Automation Limited (TEAL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Titan Company Limited, a TATA enterprise, has grown from an in-house engineering unit into a global provider of automation solutions and precision component manufacturing. TEAL’s Automation Solutions Division delivers turnkey assembly and testing solutions for sectors such as Automotive, New Energy, Electronics, Medical Devices, and Consumer Packaged Goods, supporting customers from concept through commissioning. The Aerospace & Defence Division produces precision components and sub-assemblies for critical systems including aircraft engines, actuations, transmissions, landing and environment systems, underwater systems, and UAVs.

Role Description TEAL is a 100% subsidiary of Titan Company Limited, a Tata Group company. The business has been on a rapid growth trajectory over the last few years and expects to continue scaling significantly over the next five years.
As TEAL enters this next phase of growth, we are looking for a Head – Finance Operations to build, transition and transform its Finance Operations engine.
This is a leadership mandate for someone who enjoys building rather than simply maintaining - someone who can create a scalable, efficient, well-controlled and technology-enabled transaction operation for a rapidly growing business.
The Role
The Head – Finance Operations will lead P2P (Procure-to-Pay) and O2C (Order-to-Cash) operations and will be responsible for building a high-performing Finance Operations function.
The role will involve:
Leading end-to-end P2P/AP and O2C/AR operations, including invoice processing, vendor payments, collections, cash application, disputes, ageing and associated controls.
Building and scaling a Shared Services / GBS / captive centre operating model, with clear processes, SLAs, KPIs, governance and productivity measures.
Leading significant finance process transitions / insourcing, including planning, knowledge transfer, process documentation, controls, cutover and stabilisation.
Driving process simplification, standardisation and redesign to improve turnaround time, accuracy, productivity and controls.
Driving automation and technology-led transformation across Finance Operations through workflow, RPA, AI/GenAI and other relevant technologies.
Partnering with Finance and Technology teams on SAP and finance transformation initiatives.
Overseeing finance processes related to Capex, including POs, invoices, vendor payments, project milestones and capitalisation.
Building a strong leadership layer and operating rhythm capable of supporting the organisation through rapid growth.

Manufacturing / Allied Industry Experience
Significant experience in Manufacturing or an allied, asset- and transaction-intensive industry such as Automotive, Aerospace & Defence, Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Industrial/Heavy Engineering, Electronics, Energy or similar sectors.
P2P + O2C Leadership
Proven experience of actually leading both P2P/AP and O2C/AR operations at scale, with accountability for transaction quality, timeliness, controls and productivity.
Shared Services / GBS / GCC Experience
Experience leading P2P/O2C operations within a Shared Services, GBS or captive centre, preferably with a sizeable transaction-processing organisation.
SAP Experience
Strong experience working with SAP in finance operations. Experience with SAP S/4HANA would be particularly relevant.
What would make the profile stand out?
Successfully led a significant transition / insourcing / migration of finance processes.
Built, expanded or redesigned a Shared Services / GBS operation.
Demonstrated P2P/O2C process transformation with measurable improvements in productivity, turnaround time, accuracy or cost.
Experience with automation, RPA, AI/GenAI or other technology-led finance transformation.
Exposure to high-volume and complex transactions, including large material purchases/payments, imports/exports, foreign currency and multiple entities/plants.
Experience with large-scale Capex programmes, milestone-based payments and capitalisation.
Strong track record of building teams and developing a capable second line of leadership.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to build a Finance Operations engine for scale — shaping the operating model, processes, technology, controls and team that will support TEAL through its next phase of growth.
If you have led P2P + O2C | Shared Services/GBS | SAP | Finance Transformation in a manufacturing or allied industry, we'd be keen to hear from you.
