Job Overview

Chief Fintech Systems Strategist – National-Scale Digital Financial Infrastructure

Jurisdictional Reference: Sultanate of Oman

Strategic Positioning

This role exists at the apex of fintech system design, where national financial priorities, cross-border digital finance, and long-horizon infrastructure planning converge. Anchored to Oman’s evolving digital financial ecosystem, the mandate requires a senior strategist capable of shaping foundational fintech systems that are resilient, interoperable, and future-proof at a national and regional scale.

The position is not operational in nature. It is architectural, strategic, and system-defining, intended for individuals who think in decades, not delivery cycles.

• Digital payment ecosystems

• National financial data infrastructure

• Embedded finance enablement layers

• Interoperable fintech service frameworks

Your work will influence how financial services are structured, governed, and scaled across multiple economic sectors.

• Define reference architectures for large-scale fintech systems capable of supporting population-wide adoption.

• Design interoperability layers enabling seamless interaction between payment systems, financial platforms, and digital identity frameworks.

• Establish long-term scalability, redundancy, and continuity principles for financial infrastructure.

Strategic Governance & Oversight

• Translate regulatory and policy objectives into executable system-level controls and governance mechanisms.

• Define financial data ownership, access hierarchies, and cross-system integrity standards.

• Ensure that system designs remain regulator-aligned, auditable, and institutionally defensible.

Thought Leadership & Advisory

• Produce strategic system blueprints, policy-aligned technical frameworks, and executive-grade advisory memoranda.

• Advise senior stakeholders on fintech modernization trajectories, infrastructure trade-offs, and future-state readiness.

• Act as a reference authority on national-scale fintech architecture.

Required Professional Profile

Experience & Seniority

• 15+ years in fintech, financial infrastructure, or financial systems architecture.

• Prior experience in national, regional, or systemically important financial platforms.

Technical & Strategic Depth

• Advanced understanding of distributed financial systems, digital payments, financial data architecture, and system governance.

• Proven ability to translate abstract financial policy into concrete system design.

Leadership Attributes

• High intellectual independence, strategic rigor, and clarity of judgment.

• Ability to operate credibly at executive, technical, and regulatory interfaces.

Compensation Structure (Indicative – Oman Reference)

• Base Annual Salary: OMR 72,000 – 90,000

• Strategic Systems Leadership Allowance: OMR 10,000 – 15,000

• Performance-Linked Variable Component: 20% – 30% of base salary
