Finance Jobs in India: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)

Your screen is full of finance listings and none of them look different after twenty minutes of scrolling. Here is what the feed actually shows, so you can stop guessing and start applying.

The JobRise live jobs feed counted 82 open finance listings in India on 14 October 2026, and the live set sits in the finance jobs in India section. Treat that as a dated snapshot of our listings, not a market survey. It tells you where to spend your evenings this week.

Who is hiring right now#

Ten employers hold most of the volume. Rentokil Initial has 16 open listings, the largest block in the slice. Stripe follows with 10. Bosch Group, Fivetran and Mongodb each show 7. Launchdarkly has 5, Steer has 3, and Civica, Groww and Elastic have 2 each.

Note the mix of names. Some are recruiters or staffing firms, so one listing can sit behind several end clients. Read the fine print before you assume the brand on the posting is where you will sit.

Bosch Group alone shows three distinct finance tracks: an expense role, a logistics operations controller role, and a treasury role at manager level. That spread matters. One tailoring effort can cover several openings at the same employer.

What the roles look like#

The example listings give you the shape of the work on offer. Civica is hiring an "Accounts Executive (Accounts Receivable)". Bosch Group has "Travel 2 Expense (Immediate Joiner)" and "IN_RBIN_Deputy Manager / Manager - Finance & Treasury". Steer wants a "Financial Model Auditor - Steer India". Fivetran lists a "Global Payroll Analyst". Exponent Energy needs a "Plant Finance Controller". MODIFI GmbH is hiring a "Financial Operations & Reporting Manager".

Two things stand out. First, "immediate joiner" and notice period language are doing real screening work here, so state your availability clearly. Second, controller and treasury titles sit next to transaction processing roles, which means month-end close, cash forecasting and plant costing should be named in plain words near the top of your resume. Say it early.

Where the jobs are#

Bengaluru has 35 of the 82 listings. Gurugram has 10, Mumbai 7, Chennai 5, Pune 4. The rest sit in other cities.

Bengaluru's lead fits the pattern of global capability centres and product companies running finance operations out of the city. Gurugram and Mumbai follow for shared services and banking-adjacent work. If you are in Chennai, the Rentokil Initial "Junior Associate" role at Royapettah is one to look at closely.

What the job-type mix says#

Full-time is 80 of 82. Contract is 2. That is a stark split. Most employers here want permanent headcount, not temporary cover.

Across the whole India feed there were 1,867 open listings on the same date, with 1,345 posted in the last 30 days, and the JobRise Hiring Report: India tracks those country-level numbers. Finance is a small slice of that total, which is normal: every company needs finance, but few hire in bulk.

Within the finance slice, big tech and product firms like Stripe, Mongodb, Fivetran, Launchdarkly and Elastic dominate the top ten, which points to global finance operations, payroll and revenue accounting work rather than traditional banking desks. Startups like Exponent Energy and Groww show up for controller and operations roles. Steer and Civica look more like specialist and public-sector-adjacent work. Plan your search around those four buckets.

The numbers behind the pace#

Of the 82 listings, 47 were posted in the last 30 days, and 32 went up in the last 7 days alone. That is a fast-moving feed, so a listing you bookmark on Monday may be gone by Friday.

No listing in this slice shows a salary. Assume nothing. Ask for the range early, and check current official sources for any statutory or tax questions rather than trusting forum posts.

Entry-level openings are scarce in this snapshot, with just 1 of 82 carrying an intern, graduate, junior or trainee style title: the Rentokil Initial "Junior Associate (6 Months Contract Role)" in Chennai. If you are early in your career, widen the search to accounts executive, operations and payroll analyst roles. They hire more often. They teach you the close cycle.

How to apply this week#

Apply direct wherever you can, because company career pages and direct recruiter contacts move faster than job boards that syndicate the same listing. If a posting names a recruiter or staffing firm, treat that as a real contact and follow up politely after three working days.

Mirror the listing's own keywords. If the posting says "Accounts Receivable", use that phrase, not "AR management". If it says "Outbound Logistics", put those words in your summary when they fit your work. Applicant tracking systems match on wording, so the closer your resume reads to the posting, the better your odds of reaching a human.

Run your resume through the free ATS resume checker before you send anything this week. It catches formatting and keyword gaps that quietly sink good applications.

A 7-step plan#

• List your top five employers from the snapshot: Rentokil Initial, Stripe, Bosch Group, Fivetran, Mongodb. Open each careers page today.
• Copy the exact job title and two key phrases from each posting into a simple spreadsheet. Track application date, contact name, and follow-up date.
• Rewrite your summary for each role using the posting's own words for the function: receivables, treasury, payroll, plant finance, financial reporting.
• Put availability and notice period on your resume in the first third of the page. Several listings here screen on it.
• Apply to 3 listings a day for five days. Quality beats volume, but you still need the volume.
• Follow up once, three working days after applying. One short message, no attachments beyond what they asked for.
• Prepare two stories: one about a close or reporting deadline you hit, one about a process you fixed. Interviewers for controller and operations roles ask for both.

FAQ#

How current are these numbers?

They are a dated snapshot from the JobRise live jobs feed on 14 October 2026. Open listings change daily, so check the live feed before you plan your week around a specific role.

Should I apply to listings posted by recruiters or staffing firms?

Yes, but read the posting carefully to see who the end employer is. Recruiters often handle several clients, so ask which role your application is being submitted for and keep your own record.

Are remote finance roles common in this snapshot?

The data does not separate remote from on-site, so treat these as mostly location-based roles in the listed cities. Ask about hybrid or remote options early in the process rather than assuming.

What if I have no finance experience yet?

Target accounts executive, payroll analyst, and operations roles first. They are the usual entry routes, and the one junior listing here shows how narrow the graduate intake is right now.

Do these listings include salary information?

No listing in this slice shows a salary. Ask for the range in the first conversation and verify any statutory or tax figures against current official sources.
