Head of Finance Operations
Skills
About This Role
About Us
Growth Partner Group is a fast-moving, digital-first business operating across multiple entities, including our main hub in the UAE (Growth Partner DMCC), Acquisity, AI Broker, and others.
We operate in the high-velocity world of digital products and performance marketing, generating daily revenue through online platforms and a significant marketing budget.
We are not a slow-moving corporate entity.
We are a high-growth, agile business that requires pragmatic, operational finance leadership to manage our complex, multi-currency cash flows and ensure our financial infrastructure scales with our ambitions.
The Role
We are seeking a highly operational Head of Finance Operations to take ownership of our financial engine.
This is not a role for a traditional corporate accountant or an investment banker who wants to build complex, theoretical models.
We need a "Finance Operator"—someone who can get into the weeds of daily cash management, untangle cross-border payment flows, and deliver simple, actionable insights to the executive team.
You will inherit a complex, multi-entity structure with immediate operational challenges, including tight daily cash flows and an ongoing transition of our payment infrastructure.
Your mandate is to stabilise, simplify, and scale our financial operations.
Key Responsibilities
As the Head of Finance Operations, you will be responsible for the end-to-end financial health and operational efficiency of the group.
Cash Flow & Treasury Management
Take immediate ownership of our daily cash cycle.
You will manage the movement of high-volume USD revenue from Whop to our UAE bank accounts, and ensure seamless, daily funding of our GBP/AED corporate cards for Meta ad spend.
You must ensure our ad accounts are never paused due to cash flow bottlenecks.
Payment Infrastructure Overhaul
Lead the critical transition from our legacy payment setup (Pleo cards linked to a UK entity) to our new UAE-native solution (Cashew).
You will also evaluate and potentially implement Whop's virtual card platform to create a direct, frictionless link for our Meta expenditure.
Entity & Vendor Management
Oversee the financial operations across all entities (DMCC, Acquisity, AI Broker, etc.).
You will manage our external bookkeeping partner (Emifast), ensuring they maintain accurate, up-to-date records in Xero across the group.
You will also manage the financial wind-down of our legacy UK entity once the new payment infrastructure is live.
Profitability & P&L Ownership
Diagnose the current financial performance of specific business units, particularly Acquisity, which is currently operating at a loss.
You will move beyond complex spreadsheets to provide clear, actionable insights into the income versus expenditure gap and recommend corrective actions.
Executive Reporting
Deliver highly distilled, pragmatic reporting to stakeholders.
We do not want 20-tab spreadsheets; we require simple, five-bullet-point summaries that highlight cash position, profitability, and key operational risks.
Who You Are
You are a systems builder who thrives in ambiguity and fast-paced environments.
You understand the mechanics of digital businesses, particularly the cash conversion cycles associated with high daily ad spend and digital product sales.
Required Experience
- Proven track record in a finance leadership or senior operational role within a fast-growing digital, e-commerce, or performance marketing business.
- Direct, hands-on experience managing high-volume, multi-currency cash flows and cross-border payments (USD, GBP, AED).
- Experience managing external bookkeeping or accounting firms and holding them accountable for quality and timeliness.
- Strong familiarity with modern financial stacks, including Xero, Wise, and corporate card platforms (e.g., Pleo, Qashio).
Highly Desirable
- Previous exposure to UAE corporate structures, specifically DMCC entities, and an understanding of the associated regulatory and tax environment.
- Experience managing the financial wind-down or closure of international entities.
Your Working Style
- Pragmatic: You default to solving problems and building robust systems rather than over-analysing.
- Clear Communicator: You can translate complex financial data into simple, actionable bullet points for non-financial stakeholders.
- Self-Directed: You do not need a large team to execute; you are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting the work done while building the foundation for future scale.
Why Join
Us?
This is a unique opportunity to take the financial reins of a highly profitable, fast-growing group of companies.
You will have the autonomy to rebuild our financial infrastructure from the ground up, directly impacting our ability to scale our ad spend and revenue.
If you are a finance operator who loves untangling complexity and building efficient systems, this is the role for you.
