Now this is a big role.

We've partnered with a world class startup here in Dubai who are building a tech for good product in the Fintech/AI domain and are backed by some of the leading VC's in the world that we're convinced will be an incredible success story.

Here's why:

• This startup has one of the best founders in the world. Despite being young, he's already been through an incredibly high profile exit here in the MENA region.
• The product is amazing - they're building an AI powered product within the Fintech world to truly help people manage their money.
• They absolutely love technology and place it at the heart of everything that they do - they're software geeks and they're absolutely proud of it.

What You'll Do:

You'll be reporting directly to the CEO and be responsible for:

• Leading and growing the data team from scratch.
• Driving data strategy, analytics, and ML initiatives across the business.
• Partnering with Product and Engineering to build a "best in class" technology division.
• Building a modern data stack for scalable and reliable insights.

What We're Looking For:

• 8+ years in Data Science or Analytics, with leadership experience.
• A background in FinTech, BNPL or Payments would be a huge plus. Alternatively, if you've been part of a business that grew from startup to scale up this also works.
• Strong Python, SQL, and cloud (GCP/AWS) skills - we need someone who's still happy to be hands on.
• Arabic speakers are at an advantage.

Additional Information:

• Relocation and visa support available for international candidates.
• 3 stage interview process, urgent hire.
