Job Overview

Executive Director of Fintech Infrastructure & Digital Market Systems – Saudi Arabia (GCC)

Format Style: Institutional mandate / regulatory-grade executive charter

Mandate Context

This executive-level remote mandate seeks a senior fintech professional capable of architecting and governing large-scale digital financial infrastructure within complex, rapidly evolving GCC markets. The role is not operational delivery-focused; instead, it exists at the system-design, policy-translation, and infrastructure-governance level, where financial technology becomes market structure.

The successful candidate will function as a digital market architect, shaping how payments, financial data, digital identities, and transaction systems interoperate at scale, while remaining fully independent of any single institution or platform.

Strategic Scope of Authority

• Design and oversee national-scale fintech infrastructure frameworks, including digital payments, financial messaging systems, data exchange layers, and interoperability protocols.

• Define architectural standards for real-time settlement systems, transaction orchestration engines, and liquidity-aware payment routing.

• Translate high-level regulatory and supervisory principles into embedded technical controls, audit mechanisms, and system-level safeguards.

• Establish governance models for API-driven financial ecosystems, including access control, monetization logic, and ecosystem risk containment.

• Advise on systemic resilience, redundancy planning, and failure-containment strategies across interconnected fintech platforms.

• Operate as a remote executive counterpart to senior stakeholders, regulators, and financial infrastructure designers.

Technical & Domain Mastery

• Deep expertise in financial market infrastructure, payment systems architecture, and transaction lifecycle engineering.

• Strong command of cloud-native, event-driven architectures and distributed systems used in high-volume financial environments.

• Advanced understanding of financial crime prevention systems, transaction monitoring logic, and compliance-by-design frameworks.

• Familiarity with international standards such as ISO financial messaging, digital identity frameworks, and data governance models.

Professional Profile

• 15+ years of experience across fintech, financial infrastructure, or large-scale digital systems.

• Demonstrated ability to operate at executive and policy-adjacent levels, not merely as a technologist.

• Prior exposure to emerging or frontier financial markets strongly preferred.

Engagement Structure

• Fully remote with strategic alignment to Saudi Arabia.

• Long-term mandate with executive-grade autonomy.

• Compensation benchmarked to global fintech infrastructure leadership roles.
