Digital Transformation Lead

Digital Transformation Lead – Core Banking 🚀 | UAE | AED 80k+/month + up to 4 Months Bonus & Full Family Package

Are you the kind of leader who ships AI-powered banking features that millions use daily?

Do you live for turning clunky payments, cards and lending journeys into seamless, addictive experiences?

Would you jump at the chance to run your own high-octane tribe inside one of the region’s most ambitious digital-first banks?

The Company

A multi-billion balance-sheet Retail Banking & Wealth Management powerhouse is accelerating its “Revolut of the Middle East” vision. With aggressive investment in mobile-first, AI-driven everyday banking, this is the group that’s quietly poaching talent from FinTechs to dominate the UAE digital landscape. Think scale, speed and a mandate to innovate without legacy drag.

The Role

As Digital Transformation Lead, you’ll own end-to-end innovation across accounts, cards, payments and lending. Reporting direct to the CDO, you’ll lead a cross-functional tribe of product managers, designers and engineers to:

• Design and launch hyper-personalised features that drive 30%+ adoption lifts

• Integrate cutting-edge fintech (open banking, AI credit scoring, one-tap payments)

• Shape multi-year digital strategy while shipping in 4-week sprints

• Deliver seamless, customer-obsessed journeys that crush NPS targets

This is a Day 1 leadership role, no ramp-up, no training wheels. You’ll hit the ground running and own P&L impact from week one.

Your Profile

• 8–10+ years in digital banking / fintech product leadership (payments, cards, lending)

• 3+ years running agile tribes or squads at progressive digital banks (e.g., Monzo, Revolut, Starling, Nubank, Wio, BBVA, ANZ Plus, CommBank)

• Proven launches with measurable impact (e.g., “Grew mobile payments 40% in 12 months”)

• Deep expertise in CX design, regulatory compliance (SCA, CBUAE) and data privacy

• UAE/GCC experience a bonus – but we’ll relocate the right global talent

Salary & Benefits

• Up to AED 80k+/month (flex for proven superstars)

• Discretionary bonus: 3–4 months

• Full family package: visa, healthcare, international schooling, flights

• Preferential banking rates + gratuity on 60% of salary

• 2025/26 bonus bridge – we’ll look to compensate what you forfeit to join now
