About the Role

We're looking for a Business Finance Analyst to be the finance partner for our store operations, category, and growth teams. This is a high-visibility role for someone who wants to work at the intersection of finance, retail operations, and consumer brand strategy — tracking unit economics for a fast-growing dessert/QSR brand with a mix of dine-in, delivery, and franchise formats.

You'll own store-level and category-level P&Ls, partner with Operations and Category teams on pricing and cost decisions, and build the analytical backbone for expansion decisions (new store launches, menu profitability).

Key Responsibilities

Store & Unit Economics

• Build and maintain store-level P&Ls (dine-in and delivery formats)
• Track contribution margin, food cost %, rent-to-revenue ratio, and other unit economics KPIs
• Partner with Ops teams to flag underperforming stores and drive corrective action plans

Business Partnering

• Act as finance business partner to Category, Marketing, and Supply Chain teams
• Evaluate profitability of new product launches, combos, and seasonal menu changes
• Support pricing decisions with margin impact analysis across channels (dine-in, Swiggy/Zomato, own app)

Planning & MIS

• Own monthly MIS, budget vs. actual variance analysis, and management reporting decks
• Build annual operating plans (AOP) and rolling forecasts at store, city, and category level
• Automate recurring reports (dashboards in Excel/Power BI/Google Sheets)

New Store Economics

• Build business cases for new store openings — payback period, IRR, breakeven analysis
• Track capex vs. budget for new store rollouts

Cost & Vendor Analysis

• Analyze raw material cost trends (flour, chocolate, packaging) and their P&L impact
• Support procurement/supply chain teams with cost-benefit analysis on vendor contracts
• Track aggregator commission impact (Swiggy/Zomato) on channel profitability

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

• 2–5 years of experience in FP&A, business finance, or corporate finance — retail, QSR, F&B, or consumer brands strongly preferred
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, financial modeling); Power BI/Tableau a plus
• Solid grasp of unit economics, P&L structuring, and variance analysis
• CA / MBA (Finance) / CFA (any level) or equivalent

Good to Have

• Experience with multi-format retail (own stores + delivery/aggregator channels)
• Exposure to SAP / Oracle / Zoho Books or similar ERP systems
• Prior experience working closely with Operations or Category teams (not just a back-office finance role)

Traits We Value

• Comfortable with ambiguity — this is a fast-growing brand, priorities shift
• Bias for action: prefers a good-enough answer today over a perfect one next week
• Can translate numbers into a story that a non-finance stakeholder (store manager, category head) can act on

Key Metrics You'll Own

• Store-level EBITDA margin
• Food cost % and contribution margin by SKU/category
• New store payback period and IRR
• Forecast accuracy (budget vs. actual variance)
• Channel-wise profitability (dine-in vs. delivery)
