Gaming Platform Finance Operations and Revenue Assurance Head — Interim

The mandate

Platform revenue exceptions are split across finance, support and risk queues. Refunds, incentives and suspected misuse can each be explained locally but their combined financial consequence is unclear. The interim will hold the functional-head seat and restore revenue assurance without taking over gaming-product policy or investigative authority.

The nine-month cover begins on 19 October 2026, five days weekly from Mumbai with scheduled platform operations reviews. A permanent head search runs alongside the assignment. The first month must establish a transaction-to-finance bridge that distinguishes earned platform income, customer balances, refunds and operational loss rather than treating all cash movement as revenue.

At transfer, material revenue exceptions must have an evidenced treatment, recurring loss indicators must reconcile to finance and review owners must operate a common decision rhythm. The successor will run a revenue assurance forum and approve a sample of delegated finance exceptions. The assignment ends with a stable transferred operation, not a promise to eliminate fraud or guarantee an IPO.

The head may set finance exception priorities, approve entries within the CFO's delegated register and require source evidence before reporting. Product rule changes, permanent hires and customer concessions above that register need executive approval. Risk and legal owners retain investigation and enforcement decisions; the interim cannot accuse users or release restricted records merely to accelerate a reconciliation.

IPO programme ownership, full platform rebuild and redesign of customer acquisition strategy are excluded. Authorised transaction extracts, loss classifications and named support and risk contacts will be provided. The role calls for AVP or functional-head finance operations capability, able to connect financial control and operating exceptions without claiming broader CFO authority.

What you will own

• Establish a platform transaction-to-finance bridge that separates earned income, customer balances and refunds, retaining the evidence needed to explain each material movement.
• Decide delegated treatments for revenue exceptions, requiring support and risk evidence where the accounting consequence depends on an unresolved operating event.
• Set a loss-to-finance review that reconciles risk classifications to actual financial impact, preventing operational incident counts from becoming unsupported loss estimates.
• Reprioritise existing analyst capacity toward recurring or material exceptions, documenting why lower-value queue work can be deferred without hiding its exposure.
• Approve finance readiness for management reporting within delegation, escalating unresolved customer-balance or recognition issues before figures are externally relied upon.
• Chair cross-functional exception decisions that preserve investigation and product-policy boundaries, ensuring finance does not quietly assume powers held by risk or legal owners.
• Transfer assurance rules, delegated approvals and residual exposures through live successor execution, verifying that the next review cycle can operate without personal intervention.

Candidate qualifications

• Demonstrate finance-operations or controllership leadership in gaming, consumer technology or another high-volume digital platform. Explain a revenue or refund exception you resolved, the source evidence gathered and the boundary between finance treatment and customer or risk action.
• Show revenue-assurance competence beyond aggregate reconciliations. Candidates should describe how transaction states, incentives and reversals changed reported income or cash exposure, including an instance where apparent growth concealed weak financial quality.
• Evidence practical fraud-to-financial-loss analysis without claiming investigative authority you did not hold. Explain how an operational classification was reconciled to a financial consequence and what remained unresolved or contingent.
• Provide leadership proof at AVP or functional-head scope: prioritising queues, directing analysts and escalating judgement under a reporting deadline. Explain a gaming refund or incentive exception you approved within delegation, what remained subject to risk-owner investigation and how the unresolved financial exposure was carried into reporting.
• Demonstrate durable control transfer and professional accounting capability. Explain how a replacement could reproduce an assurance conclusion, how sensitive customer data was minimised and how material exceptions remained visible after your exit instead of being cleared through unsupported adjustments. Describe how you preserved a material unresolved customer-balance issue through the successor transfer rather than clearing it for convenience. The evidence should show the accounting basis, the responsible operating owner and the condition required before the finance exception could be closed.
