<h4>About the job</h4>
<p>This role sits at the center of that buildout. You’ll ship near-term product features while helping us make the right architectural decisions for what’s coming.

<li>Extend Astro Core chatbot capabilities with new read/write actions, graph generation, and analysis outputs.</li>
<li>Help improve the external MCP connector schema, authentication, and capability surface.</li>
<li>Own prompt engineering for product features: design, test, iterate, and document prompts as first-class product artifacts.</li>
<li>Build the token metering and usage tracking layer per feature, per customer, per tier.</li>
<li>Design and implement guardrails, access controls, and rate limiting across the Astro AI platform layer.</li>
<li>Contribute to agent architecture decisions: tool access, memory design, token pool isolation, training data boundaries.</li>
<li>Monitor AI feature performance in production latency, cost, output quality, failure modes and drive improvements.</li>
<li>Stay current on the AI tooling landscape and bring concrete recommendations to the team.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<h4>AI product development</h4>
<ul>
<li>Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) into production applications used by real customers.</li>
<li>Prompt engineering fluency: system prompts, few-shot examples, structured outputs, tool/function calling, chain-of-thought patterns.</li>
<li>Understanding of token economics: cost per call, context management, model selection tradeoffs across feature types.</li>
<li>Experience building quality evaluation and output validation frameworks around AI features.</li>
<li>Awareness of AI-specific risks: hallucination, prompt injection, data leakage, output inconsistency.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Platform & architecture thinking</h4>

Company name is disclosed to shortlisted candidates.
<br>
<br>---
<br>
<br>## Purpose of the Role
<br>
<br>The Financial Controller owns the financial engine of the business: closing the books on time, protecting margin, keeping the banking relationships healthy, and giving management numbers they can act on. This is not a back office role. The person will sit close to Sales, Supply Chain and Procurement, challenge assumptions, and support the ownership on major commercial and investment decisions.
<br>
<br>---
<br>
<br>## Key Responsibilities
<br>
<br>### Financial Control and Reporting
<br>- Own the monthly, quarterly and annual close, and deliver the full reporting pack within agreed deadlines.
<br>- Prepare financial statements in line with IFRS, including multi currency accounting and the treatment of USD and LBP exposure.
<br>- Build and maintain the management reporting suite: P&L by brand, by SKU, by channel and by customer.
<br>- Lead the annual budget and rolling forecasts, and explain variances with commentary that is useful, not decorative.
<br>- Handle hyperinflation and currency devaluation accounting matters, including revaluation and translation impacts.
<br>
<br>### Banking and Treasury
<br>- Act as the main point of contact with local and correspondent banks.
<br>- Manage credit facilities, overdrafts, term loans, guarantees and letters of credit for imports of raw material, packaging and equipment.
<br>- Prepare bank submissions: financials, business plans, cash flow projections, covenant tracking.
<br>- Run cash flow forecasting on a weekly and monthly basis, and manage FX exposure and hedging where instruments are available.
<br>- Optimise working capital across receivables, payables and inventory.
<br>
<br>### Contracts and Commercial Agreements
<br>- Review, negotiate and control the financial terms of supplier, distributor, agency, lease, insurance and service contracts.
<br>- Set up and monitor customer trading terms: credit limits, payment terms, rebates, listing fees and promotional support.
<br>- Track contract obligations, renewal dates, penalty clauses and price adjustment mechanisms.
<br>- Coordinate with legal counsel on the financial exposure inside any agreement before signature.
<br>
<br>### FMCG Commercial Finance
<br>- Control trade spend and promotional investment, and measure return on each activity.
<br>- Own product costing and standard cost, including landed cost of imported material, customs duties, freight and clearance.
<br>- Monitor gross margin by product line, and flag erosion early with the reason behind it.
<br>- Support pricing decisions in a volatile cost and currency environment.
<br>- Control inventory: valuation, provisioning, shrinkage, expiry, cycle counts and full physical stock takes across warehouses and vans.
<br>- Review route to market economics, distributor profitability and secondary sales performance.
<br>
<br>### ERP and Systems
<br>- Lead or co lead the ERP implementation or upgrade, from selection through design, data migration, testing, go live and post go live stabilisation.
<br>- Design the chart of accounts, cost centre structure and reporting hierarchy.
<br>- Drive automation of manual processes and improve the quality and speed of data coming out of the system.
<br>- Work with IT and department heads to make sure the system matches how the business actually operates.
<br>
<br>### Governance, Tax and Audit
<br>- Design and enforce internal controls across procurement, sales, cash, inventory and payroll.
<br>- Manage VAT, income tax, payroll tax, NSSF and all filings with Lebanese authorities.
<br>- Handle external audit, statutory audit and any tax inspection, and close findings.
<br>- Protect company assets and reduce the risk of fraud, leakage and unrecorded loss.
<br>
<br>### Leadership and Business Partnering
<br>- Lead, coach and develop the finance team, and build a succession plan for key positions.
<br>- Sit at the management table as a business partner, not as a scorekeeper.
<br>- Contribute to strategy: expansion plans, new product launches, capex, make or buy decisions, feasibility studies and market entry.
<br>- Present clearly to owners, board members and external stakeholders.
<br>
<br>---
<br>
<br>## Requirements
<br>
<br>### Must Have
<br>- 15+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 5 years in a Financial Controller, Finance Manager or equivalent senior position.
<br>- Solid FMCG background. Manufacturing plus distribution is strongly preferred over pure trading.
<br>- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or Business. Professional qualification such as CPA, ACCA, CMA or an MBA is a strong plus.
<br>- Strong IFRS knowled
