We’re building a regulated digital wallet and payments platform in the UAE, and this role sits at the center of everything.
This is not a typical TPM role.
You will be the person who:
- Connects engineering, product, compliance, and business
- Keeps wallet + payments delivery moving under regulatory pressure
- Ensures nothing falls through the cracks when things get complex (which they will)
If you’ve worked on fintech products in the UAE, you already know — this is part execution, part coordination, part problem-solving under constraints.
What You’ll Own
Program & Delivery Ownership
- Drive end-to-end delivery of wallet and payment features
- Manage timelines across engineering, product, compliance, and partners
- Break down complex fintech initiatives into clear execution plans
Cross-Functional Alignment
- Act as the bridge between:
- Engineering
- Product
- Compliance / Risk
- External partners (banks, payment providers)
- Ensure everyone is aligned on what is being built, why, and when
Fintech & Regulatory Coordination
- Work closely with teams to align delivery with UAE regulatory expectations
- Track dependencies related to:
- KYC / AML
- Payment integrations
- Wallet flows
- Ensure documentation, timelines, and readiness for regulatory reviews
Execution & Problem Solving
- Identify blockers early and drive resolution fast
- Manage multiple workstreams across wallet, payments, and integrations
- Bring structure to ambiguity and keep momentum high
What We’re Looking For
Must-Have Experience
- 5–10 years experience as a TPM / Program Manager / Delivery Lead
- Prior experience working on fintech products (wallets, payments, banking, BNPL, etc.)
- Strong understanding of backend-heavy systems and APIs
- Experience managing cross-functional teams in high-pressure environments
UAE Fintech Exposure (Strong Preference)
- Experience working on fintech products in the UAE
- Understanding of:
- Regulatory constraints
- Payment integrations
- Banking ecosystems
Core Skills
- Strong program management and execution skills
- Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities
- Clear communication (especially between tech and non-tech teams)
- High ownership mindset
What Success Looks Like
- Wallet features are delivered on time and without regulatory surprises
- Engineering, product, and compliance move in sync
- Dependencies are managed before they become problems
- The team moves faster because of you
