2. Product & Market Alignment
- Product Advocacy: Act as the local champion for its trading and fintech product suite, ensuring offerings are perfectly aligned with regional client demands.
- Technical Literacy: Bridge the gap between complex financial product mechanics, technology infrastructure, and client-facing business development.
3. Regulatory, Risk & Compliance
- Governance: Act as the primary point of contact and build strong, transparent relationships with regional regulatory bodies (e.g., DFSA, VARA, or FSRA where applicable).
- Compliance Frameworks: Ensure the Dubai business adheres strictly to all local and international financial regulations, anti-money laundering (AML) laws, and risk management protocols.
- Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify and manage legal, operational, and reputational risks associated with localized trading operations.
4. Team Building & Leadership
- Talent Acquisition: Recruit, mentor, and retain top-tier talent across sales, operations, compliance, and product functions to build a high-performing local team.
- Culture Carrier: Foster an entrepreneurial, collaborative, and compliant culture that aligns with its global values.
& Education
- Education: Bachelor’s degree or above in Business, Finance, Economics, Computer Science, or a related field. An MBA or advanced degree is highly regarded.
- Industry Expertise: Proven track record of leadership experience within a regulated Trading Platform, Brokerage, Fintech, or Digital Asset ecosystem.
- Regional Knowledge: Strong familiarity with the Middle East financial services landscape and established professional networks in Dubai.
Core Competencies
- Product Fluency: A deep, intuitive understanding of trading instruments, financial technology infrastructure, and liquidity dynamics.
- Regulatory Savvy: Demonstrated experience navigating complex compliance frameworks and managing regulatory audits or licensing processes.
- Commercial Acumen: Exceptional business development skills with a history of driving revenue growth and scaling business units.
- Inspiring Leadership: A hands-on leader who leads by example, possesses high emotional intelligence, and excels at building teams from scratch.
