Full Job Posting
The Opportunity
- Pure is retained by a pre launch ADGM regulated fintech to identify a Finance Manager who will serve as the designated Finance Officer — an FSRA Approved Person — for the business.
- This is a foundational hire. You will build the finance function from the ground up, working directly with the CEO and operating across financial control, prudential reporting, investor relations and regulatory compliance in a fast moving, high standards environment.
- Our client is an Abu Dhabi based consumer fintech, licensed under FSRA Category 4, with a compelling product, strong founding team and serious ambitions across the MENA region. They are pre launch, well capitalised and building with intention.
What the role requires
- Minimum 5–7 years in finance, with demonstrable experience in a regulated financial services environment — ADGM, DIFC, FCA, AMF or equivalent
- ACA, ACCA, CPA or CFA qualified
- Working knowledge of FSRA prudential reporting obligations and EPRS filing — or direct equivalent from DFSA, FCA or comparable regulatory framework
- Experience with IFRS financial reporting and external audit
- Comfortable building systems and processes from zero in an early stage environment
- UAE resident or able to relocate immediately
- Subject to FSRA Fit and Proper assessment as a designated Finance Officer
What this is not
- This is not a role for someone who needs a large team, an established process or a defined playbook. It is a role for a technically excellent, commercially aware finance professional who is energised by building — and who understands the discipline that a regulated entity demands from day one.
