CEO, AI-native Financial Superapp/Neobank
Build the financial superapp of the future, from day one.
This is a rare opportunity to lead the creation of something genuinely new, an AI-native financial superapp, backed by significant institutional capital, being built from the ground up in one of the world’s most dynamic financial markets. If you’ve spent your career scaling a neobank, launching a fintech, or building AI-powered products and you’re ready to run the whole show, we want to talk.
The opportunity: Lead the build
You’ll be the first CEO of a new AI-first bank, responsible for everything from defining the product vision and building the team to steering the platform through regulatory milestones and into market. This isn’t a transformation role inside an existing institution. It’s a greenfield build with the ambition, infrastructure, and backing to compete at scale across the MENA region and beyond.
You’ll lead a cross-functional leadership team spanning product, technology, commercial, and operations, and you’ll set the tone for how this organisation thinks about AI, customer experience, and long-term growth.
What you’ll own: Scope of the role
Who we’re looking for: Your background
We’re looking for someone who has been inside a high-growth digital bank or fintech and understands what it takes to build, launch, and scale, not just advise. The ideal candidate has operated at or close to CEO level in a business where AI and data are genuinely central to the product, not a layer added on top.
Relocation fully supported
We actively welcome applications from candidates based internationally. A comprehensive relocation package is available, including flights, temporary accommodation, and transition support for you and your family. The UAE offers a tax-free salary, an exceptional quality of life, and a thriving international community.
Why now: The moment
The UAE’s financial ecosystem is moving fast. Regulation is enabling, capital is available, and the region’s young, digitally-native population is underserved by the incumbents. The conditions to build something category-defining are better here than almost anywhere else in the world right now, and this project has the backing and ambition to match.
