Title: Remote Managing Director – Embedded Digital Financial Ecosystems & Super App Strategy – Kingdom of Bahrain
Location: Remote (Strategically aligned with Bahrain Economic Development Board, CBB Regulatory Sandbox, and Gulf Digital Inclusion Policy)
Role Type: Full-Time Executive Role in Embedded Finance Strategy & Ecosystem Leadership
Domain: Super Apps, Embedded Finance, Financial Infrastructure, Digital Ecosystem Integration
Executive Summary:
We are recruiting a forward-looking Managing Director to architect and operationalize Bahrain’s next-generation Embedded Digital Financial Ecosystem strategy. This remote role places you at the core of transforming traditional financial services into contextually delivered, lifestyle-integrated, and mobile-first digital finance experiences. The successful candidate will drive the convergence of financial utilities—payments, lending, insurance, savings, wealth management—into regional super apps, creating frictionless access for retail users, gig workers, SMEs, and unbanked populations.
The role is deeply embedded within national inclusion priorities, fintech expansion targets, and Bahrain’s positioning as a regulatory-friendly financial hub in the Gulf.
Key Mandates:
-
Architect Bahrain’s first Embedded Finance Infrastructure Blueprint, outlining how digital banks, telecoms, ride-hailing firms, retailers, and utility platforms integrate with regulated financial APIs and products.
-
Lead development of embedded lending, micro-insurance, and savings-as-a-service modules inside non-financial apps with real-time risk scoring, repayment orchestration, and behavioral nudging.
-
Spearhead Super App integrations that unify user ID, e-KYC, transaction rails, digital wallets, savings incentives, loyalty points, and referral-based micro-financial models.
-
Collaborate with the CBB to co-develop a framework for embedded financial product governance, API security standards, data consent layers, and ethical monetization protocols.
-
Drive localized experimentation for gig-worker financial inclusion through embedded cash flow lending, asset leasing tools, and instant earnings disbursement mechanisms.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
-
15+ years in digital product strategy, open API infrastructure, embedded finance platforms, or super app integrations.
-
In-depth understanding of the regulatory contours around cross-industry financial service embedding, revenue-sharing models, and ecosystem governance in GCC/MENA.
-
Strategic experience in driving partnerships between banks, fintechs, telcos, and e-commerce players.
-
Proficiency with API management, orchestration layers (e.g., Mulesoft, Kong), embedded credit/lending algorithms, and open banking middleware.
-
Strong familiarity with Bahraini fintech regulatory regimes and Gulf-wide digital financial inclusion mandates.
Why Bahrain?
Bahrain is uniquely positioned as a GCC fintech integrator—combining nimble regulation, strong digital literacy, and scalable cross-border fintech potential. This is your opportunity to lead the first truly embedded financial ecosystem strategy in the Gulf, crafting inclusive financial touchpoints across every mobile journey.
