[Hiring] Finance Operations Lead @AI Acquisition

Role Description

Four entities. Three currencies. $5M+ moving monthly. Ad accounts funded daily across GBP and AED. Revenue flowing from Whop into UAE structures. A payment infrastructure mid-transition. An external bookkeeping partner who needs managing to a standard.

The finance function works. It just works with too many manual steps, too much chasing, and not enough visibility for the people running the business. Your job is to close that gap — clean systems, automated where possible, visible at a glance.

What You'll Own

• Cash flow and treasury
  • Own the daily cash cycle across all entities
  • Manage high-volume USD revenue from Whop into UAE accounts
  • Fund GBP/AED corporate cards for Meta ad spend daily — ad accounts don't pause on your watch
  • Build a live cash position view the founding team can read without asking
• Payment infrastructure
  • Lead the migration from Pleo/UK setup to Qashio (UAE-native)
  • Evaluate Whop's virtual card platform for automated Meta spend
  • Remove manual card-topping entirely — tracked, reconciled, automated
• Systems and reporting
  • Audit every manual process; automate what repeats
  • Build SOPs across cash, payments, refunds, reconciliation; make sure they're followed
  • Manage Emifast (external bookkeeping) on accuracy and timeliness across Xero
  • Deliver a weekly cash and P&L view in five bullet points, not twenty tabs

Qualifications

• 7+ years in finance operations, treasury, or hands-on senior finance
• Multi-currency, multi-entity experience at genuine transaction volume
• Systems builder — SOPs, automations, process design
• Xero, Wise, corporate card platforms (Pleo, Qashio or similar)
• Actively uses AI in finance reporting or operations
• Experience managing external bookkeeping or accounting partners

Requirements

• Highly desirable UAE / DMCC entity experience
• Performance marketing or high ad-spend environment
• CIMA, ACCA, or CA qualified

Benefits

• Direct line to founders — no layers, no politics
• Real operational complexity from day one
• Fully remote, contractor agreement
• Scope that grows with what you build
