Head of Data Science

We’ve partnered with a world‑class startup here in Dubai who are building a tech for good product in the Fintech/AI domain and are backed by some of the leading VCs in the world. We’re convinced it will be an incredible success story.

• This startup has one of the best Founders in the world. Despite being young, he’s already been through an incredibly high profile exit here in the MENA region.
• The product is amazing - they’re building an AI‑powered product within the Fintech world to truly help people manage their money.
• They absolutely love technology and place it at the heart of everything that they do - they’re software geeks and they’re absolutely proud of it.

You’ll be reporting directly to the CEO and be responsible for:

• Leading and growing the data team from scratch.
• Driving data strategy, analytics and ML initiatives across the business.
• Partnering with Product and Engineering to build a 'best in class' Technology division.
• Building a modern data stack for scalable and reliable insights.

• 8+ years in Data Science or Analytics, with leadership experience.
• A background in Fin Tech, BNPL or Payments would be a huge plus. Alternatively, if you’ve been a part of a business that grew from startup to scaleup this also works.
• Strong Python, SQL, and cloud (GCP/AWS) skills – we need someone who’s still happy to be hands‑on.
• Arabic speakers are at an advantage.

• Relocation and VISA support available for international candidates.
• 3‑stage interview process, urgent hire.
