Associate Director- Business Advisory

At Meesho, we are building a next-generation Business Advisory, Governance & Risk function—one that goes
beyond traditional audit and compliance to actively shape how the business scales sustainably.
This team sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and risk, working closely with leadership to identify control
gaps, improve processes, create business operation frameworks and unlock efficiencies across the organization. From strengthening governance frameworks to enabling faster, smarter decision-making, we play a critical role in Meesho’s growth journey.

We operate with a first-principles mindset, a bias for action, and deep cross-functional collaboration. Team members
gain exposure across business, product, supply chain, and finance—ensuring a steep learning curve and meaningful
impact. Alongside high performance, we value strong team culture, ownership, and collective success.

role in strengthening governance by presenting key findings, risk insights, and control frameworks to the Audit
Committee and senior leadership.
