TPM - Wallet & Payments

We’re building a **regulated digital wallet and payments platform in the UAE **, and this role sits at the center of everything.

This is not a typical TPM role.

You will be the person who:

• Connects engineering, product, compliance, and business
• Keeps wallet + payments delivery moving under regulatory pressure
• Ensures nothing falls through the cracks when things get complex (which they will)

If you’ve worked on **fintech products in the UAE **, you already know — this is part execution, part coordination, part problem-solving under constraints.

What You’ll Own

Program & Delivery Ownership

• Drive end-to-end delivery of wallet and payment features
• Manage timelines across engineering, product, compliance, and partners
• Break down complex fintech initiatives into clear execution plans

Cross-Functional Alignment

• Act as the bridge between:

*    Engineering 

*    Product 
*    Compliance / Risk 
*    External partners (banks, payment providers) 

• Ensure everyone is aligned on what is being built, why, and when

Fintech & Regulatory Coordination

• Work closely with teams to align delivery with UAE regulatory expectations
• Track dependencies related to:

*    KYC / AML 

*    Payment integrations 
*    Wallet flows 

• Ensure documentation, timelines, and readiness for regulatory reviews

Execution & Problem Solving

• Identify blockers early and drive resolution fast
• Manage multiple workstreams across wallet, payments, and integrations
• Bring structure to ambiguity and keep momentum high

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have Experience

• 5–10 years experience as a TPM / Program Manager / Delivery Lead
• Prior experience working on fintech products (wallets, payments, banking, BNPL, etc.)
• Strong understanding of backend-heavy systems and APIs
• Experience managing cross-functional teams in high-pressure environments

UAE Fintech Exposure (Strong Preference)

• Experience working on fintech products in the UAE
• Understanding of:

*    Regulatory constraints 

*    Payment integrations 
*    Banking ecosystems 

Core Skills

• Strong program management and execution skills
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities
• Clear communication (especially between tech and non-tech teams)
• High ownership mindset

What Success Looks Like

• Wallet features are delivered on time and without regulatory surprises
• Engineering, product, and compliance move in sync
• Dependencies are managed before they become problems
• The team moves faster because of you
