Accounts Officer

If you enjoy working with numbers, value accuracy, and take pride in getting things done on time, this role is for you. We’re hiring two Accounts Officers to join our Finance team. Both roles offer the same level of responsibility and focus on accurate, timely execution, with opportunities to work across different areas of finance. Depending on your strengths and interests, you’ll take on either Accounts Receivable or Taxation and Invoice Processing. ABOUT TAJIR Tajir is a new way for stores to buy inventory. Through the Tajir app, stores can order whenever they want, receive on-demand delivery, and choose from the largest selection of products available. Combined with transparent and competitive prices, Tajir takes a process that took a dozen hours every week and reduces it to a few minutes. For brands, Tajir ensures that products are always reliably stocked at stores. Brands enjoy higher margin sales with zero additional investment. Since our launch, we became the first company for Pakistan funded by Y Combinator, raised seed capital and further financing from Kleiner Perkins, and — most importantly — have served over 100,000 stores.
