CHIEF FINANCE OFFICER

ABOUT US

At LINKVIVA, we believe the most powerful experiences do more than bring people together. They shape how destinations are seen, how brands are felt and how moments are remembered.

For more than 20 years, we have partnered with governments and leading brands across the UAE and beyond to create large-scale experiences across tourism, destinations, wellness, sport, real estate and entertainment. Together, we have delivered more than 1,000 events and welcomed over 5 million people.

Our integrated team brings strategy, branding, creative, production and marketing together under one roof — from concept to execution.

From Kayan Wellness Festival and Liwa Village to Dubai Run, Dubai Ride and e& MOTB, we create legacy experiences with the power to grow, evolve and become part of a destination’s story.

We don’t just deliver events. We build legacy experiences.

Our Energy (Values) – The 5Ps

• People – We rise by lifting others.

• Positivity – We see the light, even in chaos.

• Perfection – Not flawless. But fearless in chasing better.

• Pioneering – We break molds, not rules.

• Passion – We lead with fire in the belly.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

• Shape the financial future – Build the foundations, systems and discipline supporting LINKVIVA’s next phase of growth.

• Build enterprise value – Strengthen profitability, cash performance, investment readiness and long-term value creation.

• Lead transformation – Modernise Finance and Procurement through better systems, automation and commercial insight.

• A genuine seat at the table – Partner directly with the CEO and Board on major commercial, investment and growth decisions.

• Prepare us for what comes next – Build the financial rigour required for investment, M&A and future strategic opportunities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Chief Finance Officer will shape the financial future of LINKVIVA.

As a strategic partner to the CEO, Board and leadership team, you will protect cash, strengthen governance, improve commercial performance and build the financial infrastructure required to scale.

This is a build-and-run mandate. You will lead Finance and Procurement, strengthen project profitability and cash visibility, transform systems and reporting, and build a consistently diligence-ready finance function.

This is not a CFO role that operates from the sidelines. You will combine strategic judgement with hands-on leadership in a fast-moving, project-led business.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Financial Leadership & Commercial Performance

• Own budgeting, financial planning, reporting, monthly close, cash flow, working capital, margins and capital expenditure.

• Partner with commercial and project leaders on pricing, bids, budgets and project profitability.

• Strengthen revenue recognition, billing, collections and payment-term discipline.

• Identify financial underperformance early and drive corrective action with delivery teams.

Insight & Decision Support

• Give leadership clear visibility of revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, cash, working capital and project performance.

• Establish rolling forecasts and scenario planning with clear triggers for action.

• Build investment, valuation and capital-allocation models to support growth decisions.

Governance & Transformation

• Strengthen financial policies, delegated authority, internal controls and fraud-risk management.

• Own UAE tax, VAT, audit and regulatory compliance.

• Lead ERP and finance transformation across Finance and Procurement, improving data quality, automation and reporting.

Procurement, Treasury & Capital

• Lead Procurement, vendor contracts and cost optimisation.

• Manage treasury, liquidity and banking relationships.

• Advise on capital structure, insurance and major investment decisions.

Investment & M&A Readiness

• Build and maintain a diligence-ready finance function with reliable financials, consistent accounting policies and organised documentation.

• Lead financial data-room preparation, quality-of-earnings readiness, EBITDA normalisation and working-capital analysis.

• Coordinate financial due diligence for future investment or M&A activity.

Team Leadership

• Build, lead and develop high-performing Finance and Procurement teams.

• Assess capability, close gaps and shape the function for future growth.

• Develop future leaders and succession capability.

ABOUT YOU

• Strategic Finance Leader – You connect financial performance to strategy, growth and enterprise value.

• Commercially Sharp – You understand how pricing, margins, projects and cash interact.

• Builder & Transformer – You strengthen functions, systems and teams rather than simply maintaining them.

• Investor-Minded – You understand what boards, investors and institutional stakeholders expect.

• Trusted Adviser – You challenge constructively, raise risks early and advise senior leadership with clarity.

• People Leader – You develop capability and build teams that can scale.

WHAT YOU NEED TO APPLY

✓ Recognised accounting qualification: CA, ACCA, CPA, CMA or equivalent.

✓ 15+ years of progressive finance experience, including senior leadership within a project-led or services business.

✓ Experience preparing a business for M&A, investment, transaction or exit.

✓ Strong expertise across financial planning, reporting, cash management, controls, working capital and procurement.

✓ Strong knowledge of UAE VAT, tax, audit and regulatory requirements.

✓ Commercial experience across pricing, project profitability and investment decisions.

✓ Proven experience building and developing finance teams.

✓ Credibility to operate as a trusted adviser to the CEO, Board, banks and auditors.

YOUR APPLICATION WILL STAND OUT IF YOU:

★ Have experience within events, experiences, MICE or project-based services.

★ Have led an ERP or finance transformation, ideally involving Odoo.

★ Bring treasury, banking or capital-structure experience.

★ Have led Procurement alongside Finance.

★ Have direct M&A, investment or transaction experience.

★ Are fluent in Arabic and English and/or hold an MBA or CFA.

Why it works

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.
