This is a high-impact, commercially focused role, responsible for driving revenue, market share, and customer growth while ensuring operational excellence across Product, Marketing, Engineering, and Business Development.

  • Working with engineering leaders to support on-time product delivery and scalability.
  • Expanding partnerships, distribution channels, and new revenue opportunities.
  • Managing KPIs across departments, tracking performance, and adjusting strategy as needed.
  • Leading new market entry plans, go-to-market execution, and cross-functional readiness.
  • Supporting compliance with consumer finance regulations and local data protection laws.

What You'll Need to Succeed:

  • 15+ years of experience in senior leadership roles, ideally in fintech, digital lending, or consumer finance.
  • Proven success driving business expansion, owning P&L, and delivering revenue growth at scale.
  • Strong background in marketing strategy, product leadership, and commercial operations.
  • Strategic mindset with a track record of translating plans into execution across cross-functional teams.
  • Familiarity with regulated environments and consumer finance compliance.
  • Willingness to be based in Bahrain, with regional travel across the GCC.

What's in It for You:

  • A high-impact CBO role at the heart of a scaling fintech.
  • Full ownership of commercial strategy, growth, and market expansion.
  • Competitive executive salary and package.
  • Work alongside an ambitious, fast-moving leadership team.
  • Regional scope and the chance to shape the future of fintech in the Middle East.
