Sovereign governments do not hand critical infrastructure to companies that haven’t earned it. Zenith Group has spent 18 years earning it — and lost none of it. We are now hiring the CFO to architect what comes next. ????Group CFO — Zenith Group Dubai, UAE | travel across KSA and the GCC as required Zenith Group is the AI infrastructure behind modern law enforcement across the GCC — engineered, deployed, and entrusted at the sovereign level. We do not sell into government; we are embedded within it, as the technology partner behind Dubai Police, and the governments of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In 2008, we fielded the world’s first mobile ANPR deployment with Dubai Police. We later unveiled the world’s first lightbar-embedded AI patrol drone, AI Eagle Eye — since deployed on Saudi Arabia’s first electric police patrol vehicle and showcased at the KSA Ministry of Interior pavilion at World Defense Show Riyadh. Our platforms — intelligent ANPR, AI-embedded patrol lightbars, Smart Convoy, checkpoint and gantry systems, multilingual OSINT and media monitoring — operate inside some of the region’s most demanding and highest-trust government environments, where failure is not an option and incumbency is not easily displaced. We are a lean, high-output team punching well above our size, now entering our next phase: scaling a proven regional platform toward global reach, while a distinct innovation arm pushes deeper into next-generation AI R&D still in its early systemization stage. Two growth paths, one group — and we’re hiring the CFO to architect the financial foundation for both. THE ROLEThis is a build mandate for someone who wants to construct institutional-grade finance inside a founder-led, high-growth SME — not administer a finance function that already exists. You will own the group’s full financial agenda and work in daily lockstep with the Founder & CEO as his principal financial partner, with direct exposure to incoming institutional investors as we run a live growth capital raise in 2026 to fund our KSA and GCC expansion. You’ll be building where there is real white space: a business with strong underlying economics that has not yet been instrumented, audited, and structured to institutional standard — and the mandate to be the person who does that, hands-on. WHAT YOU’LL OWNFinancial planning & analysis — Build the group’s consolidated forecasting and budgeting discipline from the ground up across GCC entities. Develop a probability-weighted view of contracted revenue, pipeline, and market opportunity by country and product line. High-frequency reporting to the founder and shareholders is core and recurring. Audit, controls & reporting — Lead the audit of historical financials and stand up the ongoing annual cycle. Build IFRS-compliant consolidated reporting across the group, including any pre-transaction holdco/opco structure. This is the control environment an investor-backed business expects — built by you, not inherited. Working capital & cash management — Own working capital, with particular focus on the receivables cycle inherent to GCC government contracting: long DSOs, performance retentions, milestone billing. This is a known area of opportunity and an early, high-visibility win for the right candidate. Tax & treasury across jurisdictions — Manage UAE corporate tax and VAT, KSA tax and Zakat, and transfer pricing across any IP holding structure. Oversee banking and treasury across GCC markets, with scope that grows as we enter new jurisdictions. Commercial finance partnership — Partner with the founder and country leads on contract pricing, margin analysis by revenue type, and the unit economics of our recurring revenue base. Your read on backlog and pipeline quality directly shapes the investment narrative. Growth funding & valuation leadership — This is a defining pillar of the role, not a project alongside it. Lead the financial workstream of the group’s growth capital raise end-to-end: the five-year financial model, scenario analysis, and — critically — the valuation strategy itself. We are looking for demonstrated skill in constructing, defending, and manifesting premium valuations: the financial modeling judgment, narrative construction, and investor-facing rigor that moves a raise from “fundable” to exceptional. You will be the company’s primary financial counterpart to investors throughout due diligence, Q&A, and negotiation, working alongside the founder and external advisors. Team build — Recruit and lead a lean, high-calibre finance function sized to a growing SME — controllers and finance leads in new markets as scale demands. You’ll have direct input into your own team and other senior group hires. Portfolio oversight — Extend the same forecasting, reporting, and commercial-finance discipline to the founder’s other business interests outside Zenith Group, contributing directly to their strategic growth alongside your core mandate. WHO YOU AREA qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA or equivalent) who has built — not just operated — a finance function inside a high-growth, multi-entity SME, and is now ready to do it again at group level. You’ve owned forecasting, controls, tax/treasury, and commercial finance in an environment where you had to build the infrastructure yourself, and you’re equally credible stepping across distinct business interests beyond a single core entity. You have hands-on, end-to-end experience leading a growth capital raise, sale, or institutional capital event on the company side — and specific, demonstrable expertise in company valuation: how premium valuations are built, defended, and won, backed by financial modeling capability to match. This is a specific and non-negotiable skillset we are hiring for, distinct from general fundraise support. You know the GCC operating environment: UAE corporate tax, KSA tax and Zakat, VAT, and the working capital realities of B2G contracting. Sector exposure to technology, Saa S, govtech, defence, or security is a strong plus. You’re an institutional-structure builder who thrives on incomplete information in a founder-led environment — not someone who needs the function built before you can operate in it. You operate as a true partner to the founder: closely aligned with and a strong advocate for his strategic direction, translating vision into financial reality. High integrity, commercial curiosity, and the resilience to run a capital raise alongside business-as-usual. Fluent English; Arabic is a meaningful advantage but not required.
