CMA Junior

CMA Junior

Gurgaon · In-office · ₹6–9L

We are hiring the first junior finance person to sit inside Protein World's new Gurgaon headquarters.

This is a ground-floor seat. You will learn the whole business from the numbers up, sitting close to the people making the decisions.

About us

Protein World is a founder-led group operating across the world — nutrition, pharma, real estate. We think in centuries and act in weeks. We are not a corporate, and we are not trying to become one.

We are building something that will outlast us. We are looking for people who feel the difference between a place that is alive and a place that is well-organised, and who want to spend their working life inside the first kind.

What you will actually do

• This seat is built around one thing: following the numbers as goods, money, and materials move around the world.
• Shipment and cross-border analysis. UK to India, India to the UK. You will track what things cost to move, where the margin leaks between countries, duties, freight, landed cost, FX. When a number does not match what it should be, you find out why.
• New facility analysis. When we move into a new building or site, you help build the cost picture — what it should cost, what it actually costs, where the variance sits.
• New product analysis. SKU-level costing, COGS, unit economics. Before we launch something, you help work out whether the maths holds.
• Day-to-day support across the group. Costing, reconciliation across marketplaces and D2C, helping keep the management accounts clean. You will support the senior finance person and the MD directly.

On paper

• CMA Inter (qualified is a plus, not required), or B.Com with strong costing fundamentals
• 1–3 years experience — manufacturing, D2C, or a promoter-led group is ideal, but we will take a sharp fresher who can prove they notice things
• Genuinely strong on costing, BOMs, and unit economics — not just bookkeeping
• Comfortable in Tally and advanced Excel/Sheets; willing to learn Shopify, Razorpay, and marketplace dashboards
• Comfortable with numbers from more than one entity
• Open to occasional travel across India and the UK as the seat grows

Who we are looking for

Someone who notices things. The small mismatches that most people walk past — a freight number that is too high, a cost that does not reconcile, a margin that quietly slipped. The job is half technical and half perceptual, and the perceptual half is the one that compounds.

Someone who is good with people. You will deal with vendors, marketplace teams, our CA firm, our banks. You will be trusted quickly.

Someone who does more with less, and someone of high character. You will see real numbers early. Trust is the currency here.

Why this seat

• A close line to the MD and the senior finance lead. Very few layers.
• A finance function being built from scratch, and a real chance to grow with it.
• Exposure across real estate, nutrition, and pharma.
• A workplace designed with as much care as the products it sells.
• We will not ask you to leave the perceptive part of yourself at the door. We are paying you to bring it in.
