Our client is a fast-growing consumer platform combining VOIP and communications with an expanding fintech suite, and is looking for a VP of Product to lead the consumer product and business organization.


This is a senior, execution-focused leadership role with full P&L ownership across communications and financial services.


This is not a blue-sky role. We're looking for someone who can operate at pace, drive outcomes, and raise the bar on execution across a complex, multi-product organization.


Duties & Responsibilities

Fintech Product Execution

• Launch and scale Remittance, Cards, Payroll, Wealth, Micro-Lending, and Acquiring products

• Identify market-specific opportunities and drive category leadership in priority markets

• Work closely with engineering, design, compliance, and commercial teams to ship at pace


Leadership & Organization

• Lead and scale a high-performing product organization across multiple verticals

• Partner with the CEO and senior leadership team on strategic priorities

• Instill a culture of ownership, urgency, and data-driven decision-making

• Act as the voice of the product to external stakeholders, partners, and regulators


Qualifications


Essential

• 12+ years of product leadership experience, with at least 3-5 years at VP or equivalent level

• Proven track record leading consumer-facing fintech or super app products at scale

• Experience owning a product P&L and delivering against commercial targets

• Deep understanding of at least two of: digital payments, remittance, card products, lending, or wealth management

• Strong execution DNA - someone who drives pace, removes blockers, and gets things done

• Experience leading cross-functional teams (product, engineering, design, data, commercial)


Desirable

• Experience in the GCC or broader international markets

• Familiarity with regulated financial services environments (central bank licensing, compliance frameworks)

• Background in high-growth technology companies or challenger fintechs – Arabic language skills (not required)
