Head of Finance

Fuse is on a mission to bring real time cross border payments to the Middle East, helping global businesses to access the region without changing their payment stack. We believe MENA presents one of the most exciting payment opportunities in the world today - as one of the most financially isolated but fastest growing markets globally, the region is evolving fast and Fuse is providing the infrastructure required to keep up.

To date we've raised over $8.6mn to help us radically change how money moves in and out of MENA, from some of the best investors including Northzone, Flourish, Raba, and Alter Global. With our head office in Dubai, we're trusted by payment companies and enterprise businesses all over the world to provide the crucial infrastructure for money movement in the region. Processing payments to contractors on Deel, hosts on Airbnb, sellers on Etsy, and many more global brands is just the beginning.

We're looking for people that love what they do and are passionate about making local payments accessible to brands all over the world.

The role
We're looking for a Head of Finance to join us as the first hire in our FinOps team, reporting directly to our CEO. Making local payments in the region accessible to global businesses involves managing a complex treasury and you'll be owning everything from managing our day to day liquidity to ensuring we have compliant regulatory reporting and accounting.

As a rapidly growing Fintech, your day to day will change often and you'll need to be able to adapt to the evolving environment. As a team, we are obsessed with staying lean whilst we grow and so you'll be expected to spend time working across multiple functions within finance.

Responsibilities include:

• Forecasting and Reporting: Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial forecasts and reports.
• Audit and accounting: Ensuring we have compliant audit-ready accounting, owning the process end to end.
• Treasury: Managing day to day treasury liquidity requirements in each market whilst helping Fuse earn money on idle funds.
• Entity management: Acting as company secretary for each of our entities around the world, you'll need to ensure we are tax compliant in each jurisdiction.
• Payroll: running our global payroll, whether through our local entities or Employer of Record solutions.
• Regulatory reporting: as our regulatory Head of Finance, you'll also be responsible for reporting to and working with the Dubai Financial Services Authority.
