Accounts Receivable Lead

Protein Chef (Lo Foods) · India

Accounts Receivable Lead

About the Opportunity

Bajo Foods is one of the most exciting consumer food companies in India today. We're the parent of Lo Foods, Protein Chef, DiabeSmart and Lo! Low Carb & Keto Foods — a portfolio built to make healthier, functional eating a part of everyday Indian meals.

We've singlehandedly created categories like High-Protein Breads for the Indian breakfast table, and we're now building out several more such defining categories across Snacks, Cookies, and Flours — each representing genuine white space in Indian food.

We run two distinct businesses under one roof — a packaged foods business sold primarily through Quick Commerce (Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart), eCommerce, and General Trade, and a cloud kitchen business — giving this role genuine exposure across two very different operating and financial models within the same company.

We're looking for an Accounts Receivable Lead to independently own our receivables cycle — working directly with platforms and clients on reconciliation and collections across a fast-growing, multi-channel business. This role will report into the Finance team and be based out of our Bangalore office.

What You Will Own

Collections & Payment Follow-Up

Own the entire collections cycle end-to-end — from invoice dispatch to payment realisation. Work directly with platforms and clients to follow up on outstanding payments, track ageing, and escalate overdue accounts as needed.

Platform & Client Reconciliation

Own reconciliation across eCommerce and Quick Commerce platforms — matching payouts against sales data, identifying short payments, commission and TDS deductions, and resolving discrepancies directly with platform and client finance teams.

Ledger & Month-End Accounting

Maintain accurate, up-to-date ledger entries for all receivable transactions, and support month-end and year-end closing activities related to receivables.

Stakeholder Management

Act as the primary finance point of contact for platform and client counterparts on payment matters. Work closely with Sales, Supply Chain, and Category teams to resolve invoice or delivery discrepancies that impact collections.

Reporting & MIS

Prepare and maintain receivable reports and dashboards — ageing analysis, DSO tracking, and collection forecasts — giving leadership clear, current visibility into outstanding receivables across channels.

Process & Automation

Bring a technology-first mindset to the AR function — identifying opportunities to automate invoicing, reconciliation, and reporting as transaction volumes scale.

Ideal Background

• 2+ years of dedicated, direct Accounts Receivable experience.
• Must have worked directly with platforms and clients on reconciliation and collections — this is not a back-office-only AR role.
• Experience working on Quick Commerce is preferable but not necessary; experience with eCommerce and digital platform reconciliation is necessary.
• Experience in a Food company is preferable, not necessary. Must have worked in the FMCG industry.
• Comfort with technology, and experience automating AR processes, is preferable.
• Strong accounting fundamentals, proficiency with ERP/accounting tools, and advanced Excel skills.
• Based out of, or willing to relocate to, Bangalore.
