Paid Personal and career development program Introduction A DMCC-based Single Family Office is hiring a Financial Operations Manager to handle everything finance-related across the family office, its related entities and the personal financial affairs of the Principals. This is a hands-on execution role in a fast-paced private office environment, not a supervisory or advisory position. The role covers payments, invoices, banking, cards, payroll, reconciliations, reporting, and coordination with external accountants, tax advisors, banks, and brokers in the UAE and abroad. The position is suitable for someone highly disciplined, precise with numbers, absolutely reliable with deadlines, and comfortable switching between spreadsheets, banking portals, and practical errands such as bank visits when required. Role Summary 1. You will own the day-to-day financial operations of the office: every invoice collected, verified, approved, paid, and filed; every salary and recurring payment out on time; every account funded in advance; every transaction reconciled and properly documented for the accountants. 2. You will be expected to take tasks seriously, follow instructions accurately, catch errors early, and close tasks properly. Mistakes in this role have direct financial consequences — a missed payment, a bounced cheque, or an unfunded account is unacceptable. 3. You will work under the supervision of the Senior Operational Manager and handle financial tasks assigned by the Principals and the Senior Operational Manager. Key Responsibilities Payments & Invoices 1. Manage the full invoice cycle: collect invoices from vendors and portals, verify details, obtain approvals, execute payments, and archive properly 2. Maintain the recurring payments and critical bills tracker (rent, utilities, cooling, telecom, cleaning, subscriptions, service providers) so that nothing is ever missed 3. Monitor upcoming large payments and post-dated cheques, and ensure accounts are funded in advance so no cheque bounces and no autopay fails 4. Track missing invoices, chase vendors and providers, and keep the invoice archive complete and audit-ready Banking & Cards 1. Operate multiple accounts across UAE and international banks: transfers, standing orders, cheque management, and account funding 2. Manage the corporate and supplementary card program: card issuance, limits, expense category allocation, refund tracking, and statement checks 3. Handle bank requests, KYC and compliance queries, and follow-ups; support account openings and new banking products 4. Monitor balances across entities and accounts, including foreign accounts, and flag exceptions immediately Payroll & Team Finance 1. Run monthly payroll (WPS) accurately and on time, including salary transfers, reimbursements, and tracking of employee advances and loans 2. Maintain salary, bonus, and increment trackers, and coordinate payroll in other jurisdictions with external providers Accounting, Reconciliation & Reporting 1. Prepare the monthly closing package for the external accountants: bank, card, and broker statements, classified transactions, and matched invoices 2. Reconcile bank statements against invoices line by line, classify transactions, and resolve discrepancies 3. Verify financial statements and reports prepared by external accountants before they are finalized 4. Maintain clear cash and expense reporting across entities and accounts Tax, Compliance & Corporate 1. Support VAT and corporate tax matters with external advisors, including registrations, filings, and record-keeping 2. Coordinate cross-border requirements with advisors (e-invoicing systems, foreign payroll taxes, US trading-related filings) 3. Prepare supporting documents for board resolutions (capital injections, shareholder loans, major payments) and keep corporate financial records organized Brokerage & Investment Operations 1. Support brokerage and market data accounts: account openings, funding transfers between banks and brokers, statement collection, and invoice handling 2. Assist with banking and private wealth relationship processes as directed In-Person Duties Execute in-person tasks when required: bank visits, cheque deposits, document collection, and stamping and filing of invoices at the DMCC office or other assigned locations Working Hours & Availability 5 working days per week 2 days off per week Working hours are flexible and task-based, not fixed office hours High availability and fast response are required, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays when needed Payment runs, payroll dates, and month-end deadlines are non-negotiable and must be met without exception Most of the time, work will be remote, but the manager must be ready to attend the DMCC office, banks, or the Principals' premises to execute tasks in person when required The candidate must be reachable throughout the day and available to respond, act, or follow up immediately on assigned duties What We Expect 1.

<p>Company: Quant Lab SFO FZCO Location: Dubai, UAE (DMCC) Contract: Full-time, permanent Salary: AED 35,000 per month in a zero-tax environment Reports to: Managing Director ABOUT US Quant Lab SFO FZCO is a Dubai-based single family office trading proprietary family capital. We combine quantitative research, AI-powered strategy development and automated execution, built on disciplined risk control, strict position-sizing and long-term performance. Family-funded since 2021, DMCC licensed and independently audited. ABOUT THE ROLE We are appointing an analyst to own the development of new systematic trading strategies, reporting directly to the Managing Director. The successful candidate will carry each strategy from initial hypothesis through to live deployment, and will be accountable for the work throughout. You do not need to have worked in trading. We are equally interested in candidates from strategy consulting or another analytically demanding field who have never priced an instrument in their lives. What the role requires is the ability to take an ambiguous question, break it into the parts that decide the answer, and follow the evidence wherever it goes. The market knowledge is learnable here, and we will teach it. The judgement is not, and we cannot. A significant proportion of our findings contradict established practice, and frequently contradict conclusions we ourselves reached in preceding months. Candidates whose instinct on encountering an unfamiliar result is to explain why it must be mistaken, rather than to investigate it, are unlikely to find the role rewarding. Principal responsibilities: - Develop new systematic strategies end to end, from initial hypothesis through data preparation, testing and validation to hand-off into live trading. - Analyse trade-level data to establish where returns are generated and where they are lost. - Quantify the expected impact of each finding, so that competing recommendations may be ranked on a common basis. - Turn agreed strategy logic into working code by directing AI coding assistants, and monitor deployed strategies for anomalies in execution and performance. - Present findings, their quantified impact and the associated risks, together with a recommended course of action. The position is based in Dubai. Candidates located elsewhere must be willing to relocate for no less than 50 per cent of working time. WHAT WE OFFER - Remuneration of AED 35,000 per month, free of personal income tax, together with an annual bonus linked to the performance of the strategies you develop, and an annual salary review. - Full ownership of your research agenda from the outset, with no intermediate management layer between you and the decision-maker. - UAE employment visa, medical insurance, and relocation support covering flights, initial accommodation and visa administration.</p><p>BASIC REQUIREMENTS Effectiveness - A material decision having been taken on the strength of your analysis, and knowledge of the outcome. - The capacity to work effectively as the sole analyst, without a team across which workload or credit is distributed, and evidence of having previously reached an unusually high standard in something demanding, whether professional or otherwise. - Something substantial you started yourself, that nobody asked for and nobody paid you to do - a venture, a tool, a body of research - or experience of an environment with no structure to lean on, where the function did not exist until you built it. A record made up entirely of work assigned to you inside an established firm, however well executed, does not meet this. - A disposition to treat an assertion that something cannot be done as a proposition to be tested, and to exercise your own judgement where no guidance is available. - The ability to become effective in an unfamiliar domain quickly. - Intellectual honesty: a willingness to report findings that contradict a position you have previously advanced. - Daily, substantive use of AI coding and research tools such as Claude Code, Codex or Copilot. Our minimum expectation is that such tools are embedded in your core work, that you have established repeatable systems rather than isolated prompts, and that you can articulate their effect on the quality or speed of your output. Problem Solving - Exceptional analytical ability: the capacity to structure an ambiguous problem, decompose it and identify which component determines the answer. - Rigorous empirical judgement, including appropriate scepticism towards results that appear unusually favourable, and the discipline to establish the cause before drawing a conclusion. Communication - Excellent written and spoken English, and the ability to convey a technical result to a non-specialist audience without loss of substance. - The ability to sustain a position under challenge by reference to evidence, and to revise it where the evidence warrants. PREFERRED - Three or more years in strategy consulting, or another field where you were paid to answer hard questions with data. - An interest in financial markets, and the willingness to learn their mechanics properly. Direct experience of equity markets is welcome but is not expected. - A degree with substantial quantitative content - for example economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics or computer science.</p>
