About the Role
We are a leading Sri Lankan manufacturer and exporter of engineered quartz stone slabs, operating at scale with a strong presence in international markets.
Following a series of external disruptions, we are currently in a critical recovery and restructuring phase. We are seeking a senior, execution-driven professional to take ownership of all financial, institutional, and stakeholder-facing matters of the business.
This is a hands-on leadership role focused on driving outcomes — not a routine corporate position.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead all banking and financial restructuring discussions, including negotiations and restructuring proposals
- Act as the primary point of contact for banks, insurance providers, and government institutions
- Drive and manage insurance claim processes, ensuring timely follow-ups and fund mobilization
- Lead all communication and engagement with Ministries and Government bodies, including the Ministry of Industries, Ministry of Finance, and other relevant institutions
- Identify, coordinate, and actively pursue all available government support schemes, relief measures, and incentives, ensuring maximum utilization of available facilities
- Coordinate with regulatory authorities and key stakeholders to ensure smooth navigation of institutional processes
- Develop and execute a cash flow stabilization and financial recovery plan
- Ensure clear, structured, and consistent communication across all external parties
- Provide regular strategic updates to leadership on progress, risks, and key developments
What We’re Looking For
- 8–15 years of experience in corporate finance, banking, restructuring, or similar senior roles
- Strong exposure to debt structuring, financial negotiations, and stakeholder management
- Proven experience working with Sri Lankan banks, financial institutions, and government bodies
- Strong understanding of government processes, incentive schemes, and institutional frameworks is highly advantageous
- Ability to operate effectively in high-pressure, time-sensitive environments
- Strong ownership mindset with the ability to drive outcomes independently
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, particularly in institutional and financial contexts
Preferred Background
- Corporate / project finance banker
- CFO or senior finance professional with restructuring experience
- Experience in manufacturing or large-scale industrial projects is an advantage
What This Role Offers
- Opportunity to lead the financial and institutional turnaround of a major export-oriented manufacturing business
- Direct exposure to banking, policy, and industrial operations at scale
- A role with real responsibility, visibility, and decision-making authority
