Job Overview
Remote Chief Fintech Systems Economist & Digital Payments Architect – Bahrain
Location: Remote (Aligned with Bahrain Time Zone)
Region: Kingdom of Bahrain / GCC / Global Fintech Operations
Employment Type: Executive / Full-Time
Sector: Fintech Economics / Payments Infrastructure / Digital Policy Design
Role Synopsis
The Chief Fintech Systems Economist & Digital Payments Architect will shape Bahrain’s transition toward a unified, cross-border digital finance and open-payments ecosystem. This is not a conventional leadership position — it is a macroeconomic engineering mandate, where financial theory meets computational implementation.
The incumbent will lead the design of a multi-tier digital payments ecosystem, integrating API-driven retail networks, institutional clearing systems, and programmable central liquidity nodes. They will define the mathematical, technical, and regulatory architecture that binds these layers into a seamless, interoperable fintech environment.
Key Responsibilities
-
Ecosystem Engineering: Build digital payment architectures enabling frictionless interoperability across banks, fintechs, and sovereign digital currencies.
-
Monetary Systems Design: Apply quantitative economic models to simulate cross-border liquidity flows, payment routing efficiencies, and capital friction metrics.
-
Data-Driven Regulation: Construct RegTech systems translating financial policy into programmable compliance structures.
-
Macro-Fintech Analytics: Integrate data-science engines to forecast payment volume trajectories, consumer credit behavior, and ecosystemic stability.
-
Innovation Strategy: Define long-term digital payment standards in collaboration with fintech policy institutions and data infrastructure stakeholders.
Core Expertise
-
Ph.D. or Master’s in Monetary Economics, Financial Engineering, or Computational Finance.
-
12+ years of leadership experience in fintech system design, payments innovation, or financial policy analytics.
-
Competence in payment orchestration, digital identity frameworks, RegTech automation, and API ecosystem design.
-
Advanced command of Python, R, MATLAB, and data visualization frameworks for macro-financial modeling.
Strategic Outlook
This role views fintech not as an adjunct to finance, but as finance itself made algorithmic — a synthesis of economics, mathematics, and computation. The appointee will architect a future where Bahrain’s financial economy functions as a living digital organism, dynamically adaptive to market flows and algorithmically accountable to both regulators and participants.
