Manager Finance

This role is ideal for highly experienced finance professionals, specifically Chartered Accountants (CA), Cost and Management Accountants (CMA), or MBA graduates with a finance specialization, holding at least 7 years of post-qualification experience in financial statements, GST, or IT compliances within large public or private sector organizations. Candidates must have a strong academic record (minimum 60% marks for MBA/equivalent) and preferably be proficient in SAP. Those currently employed in government, CPSE, or Metro Rail companies at equivalent scales or with at least two years in an immediate lower grade are well-suited.

Candidates lacking the minimum 7 years of post-qualification experience in relevant finance functions should not apply, as articleship/industrial training is explicitly excluded from counting towards experience. Individuals without a CA, CMA, or full-time MBA (Finance) qualification will not be considered. The age limit of 40 years (as on August 1, 2026) is a strict criterion, with limited relaxation for KMRL employees only. Applicants from the private sector must demonstrate a current CTC of at least Rs. 12 lakhs per annum.
