Founder’s Office – Strategy, Finance & Strategic Initiatives

Cumin Co.ajit, India
5 days ago
Job description

About the Role

This is a hybrid role that blends strategy, finance, and execution . You’ll work directly with the founders on high-impact strategic initiatives and ensure that Cumin Co.’s financial backbone — models, processes, MIS and investor reporting — stays sharp and decision-ready.

You’ll move fluidly between :

  • Building long-term business models
  • Crafting investor-worthy decks
  • Deep-diving into unit economics
  • Strengthening financial hygiene
  • Leading special projects end-to-end

A perfect role for someone who loves both numbers and narratives .

Key Responsibilities 1. Strategic Initiatives & Special Projects

  • Lead cross-functional strategic projects (category launches, pricing overhauls, GTM plans, international expansion, OEM evaluations).
  • Build strategy documents, roadmaps, and internal frameworks to bring clarity to ambiguous business problems.
  • Conduct market and competitive analysis to support category and business planning.
  • 2. Storytelling, Decks & Investor Communication

  • Own creation of founder-level decks :
  • Investor pitches
  • Board decks
  • Monthly / quarterly review decks
  • Category strategy decks
  • Fundraising narrative and storyline development
  • Convert complex data and founder insights into clear, compelling business stories .
  • Maintain brand-consistent visual language and messaging.
  • 3. Financial Modelling, Valuation & Business Planning

  • Build and refine financial models for forecasting, budgeting, scenario analysis, and category feasibility.
  • Conduct valuation work : DCFs, comparables, dilution models, cap-table planning, and fundraising structures.
  • Partner with founders on AOPs, 3-year plans, category P&Ls, and business cases.
  • Track and evaluate unit economics, CM3, working capital, CAC / LTV, pricing levers, and profitability drivers .
  • 4. Accounting, Finance Processes & MIS

  • Work closely with the internal finance team and external CFO partners to :
  • Strengthen monthly MIS flows (internal + investor-facing).
  • Improve financial hygiene — revenue recognition, COGS clarity, accruals, and expense classifications.
  • Participate in monthly book-closing conversations and help validate numbers before leadership review.
  • Drive automation in reporting, dashboards, and financial systems wherever possible.
  • Support compliance-linked financial requirements (BIS, OEM costing audits, SKU costing reviews).
  • Conduct deep dives on SKU-level margin tracking, inventory movements, and cost structures.
  • 5. Cross-functional Partnership

  • Work with Marketing, Ops, Product, Finance, and Customer Experience to tie financial decisions back to business outcomes.
  • Help founders maintain clarity across fast-moving priorities and data-heavy decisions.
  • Who You Are

  • 2–5 years in consulting, investment banking, transaction advisory, corporate finance, or founder’s office .
  • Strong financial modelling + valuation fundamentals.
  • Excellent at presentations, structuring, and communicating insights.
  • Comfortable diving into accounting details when needed — and zooming out for strategy the next minute.
  • Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and proactive.
  • CA / MBA preferred, but analytical and execution skillsets matter more.
  • Why Cumin Co.

  • Cumin Co. is building India’s most loved health-first cookware brand, backed by leading consumer investors. In this role, you’ll operate at the heart of the company — shaping strategy, strengthening financial decision-making, and driving initiatives that directly impact growth, profitability, and category leadership.
