Head of Corporate Finance

About the CompanyHead - Corporate Finance and Investor Relations | Vantrock Real Assets | MumbaiThis seat builds the capital structure of the platform, structures the transactions that grow it - acquisitions, joint ventures, joint developments and platform deals - and owns the institutions that fund it. We are looking for someone from the principal's side of the table, not from an advisory bench.ABOUT VANTROCKVantrock is an independent real assets platform. Real assets only. We start where we know the ground: logistics, warehousing and industrial parks, across the full chain - first mile, last mile, city-centre, dark-store and self-storage formats, and logistics-anchored mixed-use. From there, in sequence and only as each is delivered: industrial plots; suburban campuses, GCC and back-office space; strata offices; and, in parallel, data centres and senior living.The platform is founded by Anshul Singhal, Founder & CEO, who has built every platform he led as if it were his own - three times over, on other people's capital. This is the fourth build, on his own. Across his career that record runs to 52 million sq ft delivered, 32 million as developer and 20 million as contractor, over 2,000 acres acquired and all of them litigation-free, and more than 200 buildings. Delivered across the founder's three prior platforms. The board is chaired by Shailesh V. Haribhakti, and the platform runs on Vantrock Intelligence, its own AI-native operating layer.The current pipeline is 10 million sq ft. Ground breaks on the first 2 million sq ft in January 2027.About the RoleThis seat builds the capital structure of the platform, structures the transactions that grow it - acquisitions, joint ventures, joint developments and platform deals - and owns the institutions that fund it. We are looking for someone from the principal's side of the table, not from an advisory bench.Responsibilities = WHAT YOU WILL OWNThe function. A General Manager for Debt Raising and Treasury and a Manager for Corporate Finance. You set the strategy they execute and you are accountable for the whole capital position, not either half.The capital structure. How each asset is funded across the founder's equity, co-investment, asset-level debt and platform facilities, and how that changes from land to delivery to stabilisation.Mergers, acquisitions and platform transactions. Entities, portfolios, part-built assets, and the share-versus-asset question that decides the tax and the risk. Valuation, the offer, diligence across legal, technical, financial and tax, the share purchase and shareholders' agreements, escrows, indemnities, earn-outs, and the integration after signing.Joint venture and joint development structuring, and the vehicles under everything. Special purpose vehicle design, forward sale and built-to-suit structures, and the tax and regulatory shape beneath them. Vantrock works with landowners four ways - outright purchase, joint venture, joint development on the owner's land, and a long lease where the owner keeps title. You build the structure under each: contribution, waterfall, exit, the protections on both sides, and the model that says which of the four a parcel should take.The institutional relationships on the capital side. Lenders, co-investors, forward buyers, and strategic partners, at asset and platform level, built from zero and owned for the life of the platform.The underwriting model and the capital case. The model that goes in front of an institution, built by you, defended by you, tied back to what the operating team can actually deliver.Investor reporting and the institutional voice. Quarterly reporting, the data room, diligence responses, and a live dashboard our partners see rather than a pack assembled under pressure.Rating agency and lender-facing narrative. CRISIL, ICRA and CARE, the information memorandum, and the credit story the platform tells every counterparty consistently.Readiness for what comes next. The reporting discipline, governance and structures needed before an InvIT or a REIT is a real conversation rather than a slide.QualificationsCA, MBA in Finance . An engineering first degree alongside any of those is an advantage in this sector, not a requirement.Required Skills - WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR14+ years, the recent part of it in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets or institutional investment inside real estate, infrastructure or a comparable capital-intensive sector.Principal-side experience is essential. Time at a developer, platform, institutional investor or lender where you carried the outcome. Pure advisory or pure research careers do not clear this seat alone; advisory followed by a principal chapter does.Mergers and acquisitions carried as a principal, not advised on from outside. At least two closed transactions where you ran or co-ran the commercial structuring - valuation, diligence, the share purchase or business transfer agreement, and what you negotiated into the warranties and indemnities.Joint ventures and joint development agreements structured with landowners or partners, with the waterfall, the exit and the protections you personally argued for. That is what separates a deal that survives year seven from one that does not.Fluency on the debt side as well as the equity side, including the public sector and development finance channel - NaBFID under its Transport and Logistics mandate, IIFCL, HUDCO, SIDBI, NABARD and the project finance desks of the public sector banks - because on a platform this size the two conversations are one conversation.Modelling you do yourself. Advanced Excel, a model built from a blank sheet, and the confidence to be cross-examined on any cell.SAP, Oracle or equivalent, and weekly use of AI tools with the judgement to know when they are wrong.Preferred SkillsAn engineering first degree alongside CA or MBA in Finance is an advantage in this sector, not a requirement.WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOTIt is not fund raising from limited partners. Fund-side relationships sit with the investment manager.It is not accounting
