Position Summary:
With Saudi Arabia rapidly scaling its digital economy and Islamic financial sector, the opportunity has arisen for a remote Head of Embedded Islamic Finance Platforms. This role leads the conceptualization, engineering, and orchestration of Shariah-compliant embedded finance ecosystems — seamlessly integrated into consumer apps, marketplaces, SME supply chains, and digital government portals.
You will pioneer a new financial paradigm in which Islamic financial services are invisible yet omnipresent — embedded into the daily digital lives of users, from halal Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) at grocery checkout to automated zakat calculations for gig workers, to Shariah-aligned micro-takaful and invoice factoring for e-commerce merchants.
Primary Responsibilities:
-
Architect composable and modular embedded finance APIs enabling halal credit, savings, leasing, and insurance to plug into any digital environment.
-
Lead integration of automated fatwa compliance layers, dynamic Shariah risk scoring, and AAOIFI-aligned smart contract logic.
-
Build deep partnerships with digital banks, food delivery platforms, ride-hailing apps, and government e-service portals to deliver embedded financial services in real-time.
-
Develop AI-based zakat calculators, Islamic robo-advisors, and value purification tools.
-
Structure Shariah governance automation by tokenizing contracts (murabaha, ijarah, mudarabah) using formal logic engines.
-
Embed multi-layered compliance infrastructure for auditing Shariah standards via transaction ontologies and real-time alerts.
-
Guide partnerships with fintech sandboxes, the Islamic Development Bank, and Shariah Boards for continuous innovation and review.
Ideal Qualifications:
-
10+ years in Islamic finance, fintech product strategy, or digital banking ecosystems.
-
Demonstrable experience in structuring or launching halal embedded finance platforms, APIs, or mobile-first Shariah-compliant solutions.
-
Strong understanding of AAOIFI, IFSB, and SAMA regulatory frameworks.
-
Background in Islamic jurisprudence or certification in Islamic finance is highly desirable.
-
Graduate degree in Financial Engineering, Islamic Economics, or Platform Product Strategy.
