I’m recruiting for a rare and very exciting CEO opportunity with a rapidly growing payments FinTech based in Dubai. This is a newly created position as the founders are stepping away from the business.
Since inception over 5 years ago the firm have disrupted the banking and online payments space in the UAE and have received several rounds of funding totalling at over $10m and have plans to continue fund raising and are actively setting up across other emerging markets. They have a fantastic team already in place with a head count of 28 across product, operations, marketing, tech, sales and finance – all of which have been crucial in getting the business to where they are today.
They are looking for someone who is confident leader, ambitious and ready to be at the forefront of taking the business to the next stage. You will report directly into a high-profile board of international FinTech heavyweights but will need to be the type of character that is happy to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in when necessary.
You will bring experience and expertise in;
-Fundraising beyond seed stage (ideally VC/Series A)
-Leading a high-growth tech business within an emerging market - someone looking for a step up from leading part of a company would be considered
-Managing high impact teams across multiple jurisdictions
-Ability to communicate effectively with C-suit execs
-Able to provide evidence and demonstrate that you are a top performer and have tangible examples of growing a business and executing strategies
You will be expected to relocate to Dubai.
Salary on offer is £150k - £180k (tax free) + equity, relocation support
