About the Role

As Origin's first finance hire, you will build and scale the company's finance function across its three global entities as the company ramps hardware production and scales its commercial deployment. The role owns the end-to-end finance stack — accounting and monthly close, FP&A, treasury and consolidated cash management, import/export documentation and cross-border transaction flows, tax and statutory compliance, internal controls, and board and investor reporting — turning business activity into accurate, decision-ready financials.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and lead the founding finance team across controllership, FP&A, AP/AR, payroll, and compliance.
• Own the monthly close and produce accurate, timely books under Ind AS / applicable GAAP.
• Drive the finance-side ERP rollout end-to-end — selection, implementation, chart of accounts, approval matrix, and procure-to-pay, integrated with Supply Chain's inventory/ERP.
• Run FP&A — operating plan, budgets, rolling forecasts, scenario models, and cash-runway tracking.
• Own consolidated cash flow and treasury across all three entities — inter-company funding, banking, and FX.
• Own import/export documentation and cross-border transaction flows — customs, trade documents, Letters of Credit, remittances, and reconciliation.
• Ensure cross-border regulatory and tax compliance — GST, TDS, income tax, transfer pricing, FEMA, RBI, IGCR, and ROC/MCA filings.
• Identify and maximize government incentives and grants — PLI, export incentives (RoDTEP, duty drawback, EPCG, SEZ/EOU), and startup/R&D grants.
• Partner with Supply Chain on BOM cost, inventory accounting, COGS, working capital, and TCO.
• Build board and investor reporting — MIS, burn, runway, unit economics, and KPIs.
• Establish internal controls and financial governance; lead the annual statutory audit and manage auditors and advisors.
• Support fundraising — data room, financial models, cap table, diligence, and ESOP administration.
• Manage end-to-end payroll across two entities — including US payroll and statutory withholding — ensuring compliance with US labour laws and local employment regulations.
