Executive Head of Fintech Financial Infrastructure Modernization

Job Overview

Executive Head of Fintech Financial Infrastructure Modernization – Dubai, UAE

Strategic Purpose

This role is designed for a senior fintech authority responsible for the modernisation, convergence, and long-term evolution of digital financial infrastructure. The mandate spans the redesign of legacy transaction frameworks, the orchestration of modern real-time systems, and the strategic alignment of infrastructure with global financial interoperability standards.

The role is explicitly systems-centric, not product-centric. The Executive Head will act as a steward of financial infrastructure integrity, ensuring that transaction platforms, settlement mechanisms, and financial data flows remain resilient, scalable, and future-proof in a rapidly evolving digital finance environment.

Strategic Responsibilities

• Define multi-year financial infrastructure modernisation roadmaps covering transaction engines, settlement layers, and integration middleware

• Architect transitions from batch-oriented systems to real-time, event-driven financial platforms

• Establish principles governing financial data consistency, reconciliation logic, and state integrity

• Oversee architectural convergence between payments, digital accounts, settlement, and reporting systems

• Define infrastructure standards that support cross-border extensibility and multi-currency operation

• Ensure modernised systems remain audit-ready, resilient, and operationally observable by design

Required Expertise

• Deep experience with financial infrastructure transformation or core system modernisation

• Strong understanding of transaction lifecycles, settlement mechanics, and ledger behaviour

• Ability to reason about financial correctness at scale, not just system performance

• Experience designing systems that must operate continuously with near-zero tolerance for error

Ideal Professional Profile

• 15+ years in fintech, financial infrastructure, or large-scale financial systems

• Demonstrated ability to operate as a long-horizon architectural decision-maker

• Comfortable leading complex initiatives remotely across multiple time zones

• Highly articulate in written and conceptual financial-technology communication

Engagement & Compensation

• Fully remote, Dubai-aligned strategic role

• Monthly compensation benchmark: AED 85,000 – 120,000

• Long-term mandate with authority over foundational system evolution
