- Maintaining trackers and coordinating renewals for company insurance policies, including EPLI, D&O, Health, Travel and other applicable policies.

- Supporting entity incorporation, apostille, registrations and other statutory/compliance activities across various geographies by coordinating with external consultants and vendors.

- CA Inter, CMA Inter, ACCA (part-qualified), M.Com, MBA (Finance) or B.Com. An international, financial services or outsourcing background is preferred.
