The posting

Capital.com is hiring a Director of Finance to own all finance activity across our UAE operations — a region spanning both regulated and non-regulated entities as the business scales in the Middle East. You'll be the senior finance authority for the UAE, carrying direct regulatory exposure and acting as the primary finance counterpart for regulators, auditors, banks and group leadership. This is a hands-on regional leadership role: you'll combine financial control, regulatory reporting, treasury oversight and audit management with the people leadership of a local finance team, giving the UAE business a single point of financial control as it grows.

What you will do:

  • Own all financial regulatory reporting for the UAE regulated entities, including monthly client money reports, monthly cash flow forecasts and annual regulatory reports to UAE regulators
  • Lead the consolidation of the UAE entities (currently 5) and prepare group internal management accounts monthly
  • Direct all treasury activity, including daily cash position monitoring and oversight of daily client money reconciliations in line with applicable UAE regulatory rules
  • Lead the annual external audits across all UAE entities and own the relationship with external auditors end to end
  • Own the budget and budget-vs-actual analysis for the UAE region, coordinating business plans with the Group FP&A team
  • Take responsibility for all finance-related matters in the UAE region — banking, payments and PSP relationships (in collaboration with group e-money and treasury teams), payroll, accounting, bookkeeping and tax
  • Approve expenses and costs for the region and oversee supplier payments
  • Support tax planning and ensure tax compliance across both regulated and non-regulated UAE entities
  • Build and manage relationships with regulators, tax authorities, banks and suppliers
  • Lead, develop and manage the finance team, including objective setting, performance management and succession planning

What you bring:

  • ACCA, ACA, CPA or equivalent professional accounting qualification
  • Senior finance leadership experience within a CFD, forex or online trading brokerage, with hands-on ownership of consolidation, treasury and regulatory reporting across multiple entities
  • Direct experience with UAE regulatory reporting and client money rules (SCA and/or DFSA/ADGM frameworks)
  • Proven experience leading external audit relationships end to end, as the primary point of contact for auditors, regulators and banking partners
  • Strong people leadership experience, having built and managed a finance team through a period of growth
  • Excellent working knowledge of IFRS and multi-entity consolidation

Nice to have:

  • Experience spanning both regulated and non-regulated entity structures
  • Exposure to PSP and e-money relationships
  • Arabic language skills
  • Experience coordinating with a Group FP&A function across multiple jurisdictions

What you will get in return:

  • Competitive Salary: We believe great work deserves great pay! Your skills and talents will be rewarded with a salary that makes you feel valued and motivated.
  • Work-Life Harmony: Join a company that genuinely cares about you -because your life outside of work matters just as much as your time on the clock.
  • Generous Time Off: Need a breather? Our annual leave policy lets you recharge and enjoy life outside of work without a worry.
  • Employee Referral Program: Love working here? Share the love! Bring your talented friends on board and get rewarded for growing our awesome team.
  • Comprehensive Health Benefits: We’ve got your back with a medical insurance plan. Plus, location-specific benefits and perks!
  • Workation Wonderland: Live your digital nomad dreams with 30 extra days to work remotely from anywhere in the world (some restrictions apply). Adventure awaits!
  • Volunteer Days: Make a difference! Take two additional paid days each year to support causes you care about and give back to the community.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
