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.

Numbers that don’t add up won’t wait for you to finish reading about CFD revenue recognition. They’ll sit in a reconciliation, compound overnight, and surface as an auditor question at the worst possible moment. You’ll learn to find them first.<br><br>This is an early-career finance role inside Deriv’s Trading Finance team — working on real regulated entities, real client money obligations, and a close cycle that runs every month whether you’re ready or not. You’ll work with guidance from experienced accountants and a team leader who’s seen every edge case in this business. The work is real, the stakes are real, and what you learn here, you learn by doing.<br><br>Why This Matters<br><br>Deriv’s mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. That mission runs through regulated Trading entities — CFD brokers, VASP/CASP licences, and banking licences — each closing its books every month, filing regulatory submissions on time, and answering to external auditors. Real money, real regulations, real consequences.<br><br>The numbers coming out of this team feed capital adequacy calculations, client money reports, and Board-level decisions. They can’t be approximate. They can’t be late. You’ll be one of the people making sure they’re neither.<br><br>Why Deriv<br><br>We’re not theorising about AI in finance. We’re building it.<br><br>AI-powered PSP reconciliation platform already in production — processing real transactions, not demo data.<br><br>Treasury Management System consolidating 500+ cashbooks across 40+ entities.<br><br>Finance automation already eliminating manual processing across procurement, accounts payable, and reconciliation at scale.<br><br>400+ internal users on our workflow orchestration platform.<br><br>You’ll use these tools from day one, flag what breaks, and — as you grow — have a voice in what gets built next. The Finance Automation team is building the infrastructure. You’ll be one of the people telling them where it falls short.<br><br>What You’ll Do<br><br>Closing & Reporting<br><br>Prepare journal entries and reconciliations across the monthly close cycle. Follow the close calendar, understand why each entry exists, and catch your own errors before someone else does. Learn CFD revenue logic — A-book and B-book mechanics — at journal-entry level. You’ll apply it with guidance initially, then with increasing independence. Support regulated entity accounting across CFD broker, VASP/CASP, and banking-licensed entities. You’ll learn how client money segregation works, what capital adequacy inputs require, and why the accounting across these entity types differs. <br><br><br>Audit & External Stakeholders<br><br>Support audit preparation — building workpapers, organising supporting schedules, and fielding routine auditor follow-ups with guidance from senior team members. Contribute to regulatory inputs — providing accurate financial data behind regulatory submissions, in coordination with Compliance and Risk. <br><br><br>Process & AI<br><br>Use the finance automation tools already in production: reconciliation platforms, workflow orchestration, and whatever comes next. Develop a view on what works. Spot recurring manual steps and flag them to the team. You won’t always be the one to fix it — but raising the issue early is part of the job.<br><br><br>Who You Are<br><br>You understand month-end close. You’ve prepared journal entries and reconciliations — in a finance role, internship, or accounting programme — and you understand why accuracy at close matters, not just that it does. Experience at a CFD broker is a real advantage. Not required, but if you’ve worked in a regulated trading environment, you’ll spend less time learning the context and more time contributing. You care why the numbers work. When a reconciliation doesn’t balance, you want to trace it — not escalate it and move on. You check your own work before it goes to review. Excel at a working level. You build clean reconciliations that are readable six months later. Lookups, pivots, conditional logic — tools you reach for without thinking. AI-curious in your day-to-day. You’ve tried using AI tools in your work — drafting commentary, sense-checking output, interrogating data. You’re forming a view on what earns its place in a workflow. Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, Mathematics, or a related field. We care more about how you think about numbers than which programme you attended. You ask early and don’t go quiet. When something’s unclear, you raise it — you don’t wait until the close is late to surface a problem. Studying or early-stage ACCA is a genuine advantage.<br><br><br>The Honest Reality<br><br>Month-end close doesn’t move because you’re still getting comfortable with the entity structure. Some processes are well-documented; others live in institutional knowledge you’ll need to extract from people who are also busy closing books. Some weeks will be frustrating.<br><br>You’ll make mistakes early on. That’s expected. What isn’t acceptable is making the same one twice or going quiet when you’re stuck. Your team will be there for judgment calls and escalations — but they’re not there to check your arithmetic. That part is yours.<br><br>If you want a structured rotation programme where someone else owns the hard parts, this isn’t it. If you want to learn regulated finance from the inside — on real entities, with real stakes, in an environment that’s actively rebuilding how finance works — this is the right place to start.<br><br>Location: Dubai

About Zamanat Zamanat is a Sharia-aligned real-world asset tokenisation platform. We structure and tokenise assets across funds, private credit, real estate and receivables, then distribute them through institutional, private wealth and on-chain channels.<br>We have applied for a DIFC tokenised credit fund and run a live structuring pipeline across receivables, fund and real-estate mandates in MENA, GCC and selected emerging markets. The structuring lead is a foundational role.<br>AI-driven playbooks are a core part of Zamanat's growth strategy. We are building a structuring function where AI tools compress time-to-launch, accelerate documentation, and turn one-off deals into repeatable products. The right hire is hungry to learn, prototype and embed AI tooling into the structuring workflow.<br><br>The Role We are hiring a Director, Structuring & Origination to lead deal structuring across Zamanat's live and forward pipeline, originate new mandates, and build the structuring playbook that compresses our time-to-launch on every subsequent deal. The role is hands-on today. It is also on a clear path to Senior Director or MD as deal pipeline, AUM and team scale. The right person executes deals personally now and grows into running a structuring desk over the next 18 to 36 months. This is not a pure origination seat and not a back-office structuring seat. We need someone who can hold a term sheet, a Sharia structure, a regulator conversation, a sponsor relationship and a documentation pack in the same week.<br><br>What You Will DoLead end-to-end structuring on live mandates across receivables financing, private credit, fund tokenisation and asset-backed structures Originate new mandates alongside the CEO and BD lead, primarily across MENA, GCC, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa Codify Zamanat's structuring playbooks. The 12-month KPI is three named playbooks in production use Build AI-assisted structuring tooling and templates: use AI to fast-track documentation, term-sheet drafting, scenario modelling, Sharia structure checks, and deal pattern recognition across the playbook library Own commercial term-sheet design, fee structures and economic alignment with sponsors and partners Run Sharia structuring decisions in close coordination with appointed Sharia advisors. Murabaha, Wakala, Sukuk, Ijara, Musharaka and hybrid structures as relevant Oversee post-issuance servicing on SME and receivables programmes including servicing, reporting, performance monitoring and remediation triggers Work with regulatory counsel and partner licence-holders on jurisdictional execution (ADGM, DIFC, DFSA, FSRA, and selected emerging-market regulators) Manage the deal-team relationship with fund administrators, custodians, tokenisation tech partners and Sharia advisors Build and lead the structuring team as pipeline conversion supports it.<br>Candidate Profile You have 10 to 14 years of experience in structured finance, capital markets, Islamic finance, private credit, securitisation, receivables financing or specialist arranging. You have personally led deals through structuring, documentation and closing, not just sat on the desk while others closed them. You can run the playbook today and build the team that runs it tomorrow. You understand both the commercial logic of a deal and the structural mechanics that make it executable. You are comfortable with ambiguity, lean teams and shaping a function from scratch. You are hungry to learn and apply AI tooling to your work. You see AI as core leverage on structuring throughput, not a side experiment.<br>Required Experience10 to 14 years in structured finance, capital markets, sukuk, Islamic finance, private credit, securitisation, receivables financing or specialist arranging Demonstrable Sharia-structured execution on live deals. Murabaha, Wakala, Sukuk or Ijara applied in production, not theoretical. Capital markets experience including debt capital markets, sukuk issuance, structured notes or asset-backed transactions Receivables financing, factoring, supply-chain finance or working-capital programme experience. Strong commercial judgement on term sheets, fee structures and sponsor economics. Experience working across ADGM, DIFC, DFSA, FSRA or comparable GCC and MENA regulatory environments. Ability to manage external counsel, fund administrators, custodians and partner licence-holders. Willingness to learn and embed AI tools in day-to-day structuring work. Comfortable using AI for documentation, scenario testing, term-sheet drafting, structure comparison and pattern recognition across deal libraries.<br>Preferred Experience Private markets experience including private credit funds, real-estate funds, infrastructure or alternatives Tokenisation, digital assets or blockchain-based issuance exposure Direct relationships with mid-market issuers, sponsors, asset managers and private credit originators across MENA, GCC, South Asia or Sub-Saharan Africa. Prior experience codifying structuring playbooks, templates or repeat-issuance frameworks. Existing exposure to AI tools applied to financial work (deal review, documentation drafting, model build, research synthesis). Team build and leadership experience. Comfort operating without a large platform underneath, in an early-stage operating company<br><br>What Success Looks Like In the first 90 days, you will have taken ownership of the live structuring book, mapped the forward pipeline, locked priority deal sequencing, started the first playbook codification, and identified the first two or three AI tooling levers for the structuring workflow. In the first 12 months, success means closed mandates with locked fee economics, the first three named structuring playbooks in production, AI tooling embedded in at least two playbooks (with measurable time-to-launch compression), a working post-issuance servicing model on receivables programmes, and a hiring case for the next structuring team member.<br><br>What We Offer Competitive fixed compensation. Performance-linked bonus tied to closed mandates, structuring fee revenue and playbook delivery. Equity or carry participation aligned to long-term value creation Clear trajectory to Senior Director or MD as pipeline, AUM and team scale. Direct exposure to the CEO, partners, sponsors and Sharia governance. A foundational role in building a Sharia-aligned tokenisation platform from the structuring layer up, with AI tooling embedded into the workflow from inception.

<h4>What you'll be doing</h4>
<p>As a Corporate Finance & Development Manager, you will lead the analytical and execution agenda behind the Group's most strategic capital and growth decisions. The role acts as a key thought partner to the CFO office and ExCom — translating complex business questions into structured analysis, deal architecture, and decision-ready recommendations. The Manager owns end-to-end workstreams across capital allocation, Group-level portfolio optimization, new market entry, M&A and JV transactions ensuring every initiative is rigorously underwritten, well-structured, and aligned with the Group's long-term value creation priorities.</p>
<h4>ExCom & Board Deliverables</h4>
<p>Lead the preparation of ExCom, CFO, and Board materials on capital deployment, portfolio performance, M&A opportunities, and strategic initiatives, owning the narrative arc from raw analysis through to final recommendation. Distill complex financial, commercial, and strategic content into clear, executive-grade outputs, ensuring intellectual rigor and a sharp point of view. Anticipate leadership questions and structure pre-reads, discussion notes, and decision memos that drive alignment and accelerate decision-making. Partner with the VP of CFD to shape the cadence and content of recurring governance forums (CAPCOM, ExCom, Family Board) on capital and investment matters.</p>
<h4>M&A & Deal Structuring:</h4>
<p>Support the financial and structural workstreams on M&A, JV, divestment, and partnership transactions, from origination support through to execution. Architect deal structures — equity splits, governance terms, earn-outs, put/call mechanics, capital contributions, and exit pathways — that balance value creation, risk allocation, and strategic control. Build and own integrated valuation models (DCF, SOTP, trading and transaction comps) and lead negotiations support including bid strategy, sensitivity ranges, and walk-away thresholds. Coordinate financial, tax, and operational due diligence streams, synthesizing findings — including synergy assessment and integration risks — into a single investment thesis and risk register for leadership. Draft Investment Committee papers, term sheets input, and post-signing integration or value creation plans as needed.</p>
<h4>New Markets & Growth Strategy:</h4>
<p>Actively contribute in structuring market entry analyses for new geographies, categories, and brand opportunities, combining top-down market sizing with bottom-up unit economics to test commercial viability. Develop entry-mode frameworks (organic build, JV, acquisition, distribution partnership, franchise) and recommend the optimal structure given strategic fit, capital intensity, speed-to-market, and risk profile. Partner with Business Development, Growth and Commercial teams to pressure-test business cases, refine assumptions, and ensure proposals meet Group hurdle rates and capital efficiency benchmarks.</p>
<h4>Portfolio Optimization & Capital Allocation:</h4>
<p>Own the analytical engine behind the Group's capital allocation framework, ranking opportunities across brands, formats, and geographies on a risk-adjusted return basis. Lead portfolio performance reviews covering ROIC, economic profit, growth trajectories, and capital intensity, surfacing reallocation opportunities and underperformance for ExCom attention. Drive WACC and cost of capital analysis at Group and business-unit level, refining benchmarks used across investment appraisal and business case validation. Support capital structure work including leverage targets, funding mix, and balance sheet optimization in coordination with Group Treasury.</p>
<h4>Strategic Planning & Investment Appraisal:</h4>
<p>Embed CFD's perspective into the 3-Year Strategic Plan and annual budget cycles, translating strategic ambitions into capital plans, cash flow trajectories, and value creation roadmaps. Lead the review and challenge of business unit investment submissions — new stores, brand launches, capex programs, transformation initiatives — ensuring analytical integrity and consistency with Group frameworks. Run scenario and stress-testing exercises across the portfolio to quantify exposure to macro, FX, and operational sensitivities, and recommend mitigation actions.</p>
<h4>Stakeholder Partnership and Advisory:</h4>
<p>Operate as a connector across Group Finance, Strategy, Commercial, Tax, Legal, and the business units, building the trust and partnership needed to move complex workstreams forward. Contribute to the continuous improvement of CFD's methodologies, templates, and governance standards.</p>
<h4>Leadership & Capability Building:</h4>
<p>Review models, valuations, and their underlying assumptions, scenarios, and sensitivities, coaching the team on modeling technique and analytical discipline and building capability over time. Ensure analytical outputs meet corporate finance and governance standards, and that investment assumptions and outcomes are accurately documented before materials reach leadership.</p>
<h4>What you will need to succeed</h4>
<ul>
<li>You hold a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or Accounting; Master's, MBA, CFA, or ACA/CA strongly preferred.</li>
<li>You possess 5–8 years of experience in Corporate Development, Investment Banking / M&A, Transaction Services, or top-tier Strategy Consulting, ideally with exposure to consumer, retail, or luxury sectors and emerging markets.</li>
<li>You have a demonstrated track record of leading transactions or strategic projects end-to-end, including deal structuring, valuation, and executive-level communication.</li>
<li>You have a deep fluency in valuation methodologies, deal mechanics, capital structure, and value creation frameworks.</li>
<li>Advanced Excel and PowerPoint; working knowledge of SAP, Power BI, or Looker are an advantage.</li>

About the role<br> The Graduate Project Manager role provides the essential coordination and structural support required to execute complex mandates for our clients, including an ongoing engagement for a Dubai-based financial services firm. We require an organized thinker who can track various project components without losing sight of the core strategic objectives. This position ensures that our principals can focus on high-level advisory while the mechanics of each project remain precise, timely, and well-documented.<br> <br>About Arabian Private Holdings<br> Arabian Private Holdings was founded on the principle that many critical business problems do not fit the traditional large-firm consulting model. A board facing a succession question or a family group weighing a capital injection does not need a team of twelve associates and a hundred-page methodology deck. They need experienced partners who can sit with a problem, form a rigorous view, and defend it. Our work covers corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency for some of the most significant family groups, listed corporations, and government entities in the region. We operate as a remote firm, choosing to prioritize the quality of our analysis and the strength of our relationships over traditional office overhead. If a project is not a fit for our expertise, we are direct about it. If it is, we stay involved until the decision is made and the results are delivered.<br> <br>What you will do Maintain project timelines and internal resource logs for our current mandate with a Dubai-based financial services firm. Conduct targeted research into market trends and regulatory changes that affect client portfolios and holding company structures. Assist principals in drafting concise briefing notes and governance frameworks that translate complex data into clear recommendations. Track the status of different workstreams to ensure no detail is overlooked during a client scaling transition. Form a preliminary view on operational bottlenecks based on data provided by clients and internal analysis. Organize internal documentation and records so that the rationale for every decision is preserved and easily accessible. Prepare summary reports that outline project progress and highlight potential risks to the timeline. Support the principals in coordinating communication across different stakeholder groups involved in a mandate. <br><br>What we are looking for A high level of written precision and the ability to explain logical steps clearly in plain English. Natural curiosity about how large holding companies and financial institutions operate and generate value. Strong organizational habits that allow you to manage multiple threads of a mandate simultaneously without losing focus. A degree in business, economics, or a related field that demonstrates analytical training and academic rigor. Comfort working in a fully remote environment that requires proactive communication and self-direction. The ability to identify when a project is drifting from its original scope and call attention to it early. <br><br>How we work<br> We have replaced the traditional office with a model that prioritizes the quality of analysis over physical presence. Every member of the firm works remotely, using clear communication and shared documentation to stay aligned on our mandates. Mentoring happens through direct involvement in partner-level work rather than through formal training programs or HR initiatives. We value a quiet, focused approach where everyone is accountable for the outcome of the client engagement. Our firm avoids the aggressive growth targets of larger consultancies, focusing instead on delivering clarity for a select number of clients who value independent, honest advice.<br> <br>What the role offers Direct exposure to senior principals and high-stakes corporate decision-making processes. A permanent, full-time position that is 100 percent remote. Competitive pay that is attractive for the entry-level market. The opportunity to contribute to significant projects, such as our current work with a Dubai-based financial services firm. A professional environment that values intellectual rigor and respects professional boundaries.

Build the launch playbook and readiness checklist for new GCC markets -payment localisation, logistics partners, CS coverage, content localisation, legal, tax. Identify and unlock data-driven growth opportunities across UX, merchandising, CRM, and performance marketing. Performance Tracking & Reporting Run a weekly and monthly performance rhythm for the regional ecom business: traffic, conversion, AOV, repeat rate, fulfillment KPIs, CS metrics, marketing efficiency. Build and maintain dashboards yourself (Google Analytics, Power BI, Sheets) you do not wait for someone else to give you the data. Translate raw data into clear narratives for the GM, founders, and brand partners — including event recaps, revenue trends, and stock turnover. Trading, Merchandising & Multi-Brand Logic Own the end-to-end product lifecycle: data preparation, pricing logic, stock allocation, launch readiness, and post-event analysis. Set the best-seller and trending logic across our brand portfolio the rules and merchandising algorithms that surface the right product to the right member at the right moment. Set the visual merchandising and content standards for the site, ensuring fashion and luxury products are presented at the level our brand partners require. Lead trading decisions: promotional mechanics, tiered pricing, coupon strategy, and quota rules. Platform, Tech Stack & Checkout Make the call on when to adopt new Shopify features or third-party apps vs build, wait, or skip balancing impact, cost, integration risk, and team bandwidth. Partner with the global tech team on platform evolution and represent the regional voice in product roadmap discussions. Own checkout health end-to-end.

Lead returns policy and reverse logistics optimisation — balancing customer experience, cost, and brand partner expectations.

Gym Nation<br><br> 1 active job (view) www.gymnation.com<br><br>Published<br><br>August 11, 2026<br><br>Location<br><br>Dubai, United Arab Emirates<br><br>Category<br><br>Marketing & Advertising<br><br>Job Type<br><br>Permanent: Full-time<br><br>Description<br><br>50+ gyms. 250,000+ members and expanding quickly!<br><br>Gym Nation, the Middle East's fastest-growing fitness brand, is seeking a world-class Head of Member Retention & Loyalty to own churn, tenure and member lifetime value end-to-end. One of the first roles of its kind in the global fitness industry.<br><br>We've become brilliant at getting people through the door. Now we're going to be the best in the world at keeping them. Every operator talks about churn - almost none have a senior leader who owns it. From a member's first workout to the moment they'd never dream of cancelling, the relationship is yours to design.<br><br>You won't start from a blank page. A best-in-industry technology stack and established tech, data and CRM teams are here to put your ideas into action. You'll unite behavioural science, technology and creativity into one retention system. We leverage AI and automation across the business and expect you to advance us here. In retention, AI is the difference between reacting to cancellations and predicting them.<br><br>We're growing fast, and so will your impact: exceptional visibility, direct influence on strategy, and the chance to build the retention playbook the rest of the industry will want to copy and can't.<br><br>Responsibilities<br><br>Retention Strategy & Ownership<br><br>Own the retention strategy and be accountable for member churn, average length of stay and lifetime value across the business. Specify and sign off a single agreed view of retention performance - cohort curves, survival analysis, and voluntary versus involuntary churn. Diagnose why and when members leave, by segment, tenure, price point, joining channel, gym and market. Prioritise the levers by value at stake, and kill the ones that don't move the number. Own the multi-year roadmap that takes retention from a reporting line to a structural competitive advantage.<br><br>Behavioural Science, Onboarding & Habit Formation<br><br>Redesign onboarding and the critical first 90 days around the behaviours that actually predict long-term membership. Identify and instrument our early-visit "magic number" - the visit frequency that separates a member who stays from one who lapses. Apply named behavioural science (habit loops, commitment devices, loss aversion, goal gradient, social proof, nudge theory) to real member journeys, not theory. Own the nudge architecture behind every journey - the timing, framing, defaults, choice sets and friction that decide whether a member acts, not just the message sent. Design the in-gym moments that matter: first workout, first class, first body scan, first personal goal, first friend made. Set the brief for Operations and in-gym teams so front desk and floor staff are an active part of the retention system.<br><br>Gamification<br><br>Design and work with the tech team to ship gamification inside the Gym Nation app - streaks, badges, milestones, challenges, leaderboards and rewards. Build mechanics that drive genuine visit frequency and belonging, not vanity metrics, and retire what doesn't earn its place. Integrate body-composition and performance data so progress itself becomes the reward.<br><br>Loyalty Programmes<br><br>Build and own the Gym Nation loyalty programme - tenure rewards, status tiers, partner perks and member benefits. Own the referral programme so loyalty compounds, and the win-back programme so lapsed members return. Create structural reasons to stay that competitors cannot copy, and that strengthen rather than discount the proposition. Own the reward economics so the programme demonstrably pays for itself in retained revenue.<br><br>Ancillary & Add-On Retention<br><br>Own churn and tenure across the full product ladder, not just core membership - body-composition scanning, Recovery Rooms, hydration and in-gym retail, and premium or signature products. Track add-on churn separately from core churn. A member who drops one product but stays is a different problem to one who leaves altogether. Identify which add-ons are genuine retention anchors and which are simply incremental revenue, then own the attach-and-retain playbook: what is sold at join, what is sold later, and what actually extends core tenure. Design upgrade, downgrade and pause paths so that a cancellation becomes a downgrade rather than a loss.<br><br>AI & the Member App<br><br>Direct the roadmap for churn-risk scoring, personalised journeys and next-best-action in the app. Own and evolve the AI save-flow - matching the right save lever to every reason a member gives for leaving. Use AI to personalise content, goals, class recommendations and nudges at individual member level. Work with Technology and Data to move from rules-based triggers to predictive, continuously learning models. Set the standard for how AI is used responsibly with member data in every country we operate in.<br><br>Lifecycle Communications<br><br>With the Head of CRM and wider marketing team, orchestrate every channel into one coherent member journey - email, push, SMS, Whats App, in-app, in-gym screens, TV and radio, and front-desk conversations. Launch and continuously improve lifecycle campaigns for onboarding, at-risk, lapsed, win-back and high-value members. Eliminate fragmented messaging that erodes trust, and govern contact frequency across the business.<br><br>Measurement, Experimentation & Reporting<br><br>Run a continuous programme of experiments and A/B tests - designed properly, read honestly, and scaled only when they work. Quantify the revenue impact of every retention initiative and report it to leadership in commercial terms. Build the dashboards and scorecards that give leadership and gym managers real-time visibility. Benchmark against global operators and set the target that makes us best in class.<br><br>Team & Cross-Functional Leadership<br><br>Build and lead the retention and loyalty function from the ground up. Work across Technology, Data, CRM, Marketing, Operations and Finance to make retention a company-wide priority, not a departmental initiative. Translate complex behavioural and analytical findings into executive-ready recommendations for the leadership team, board and investors.<br><br>Requirements<br><br>Experience<br><br>5+ years in retention, loyalty, lifecycle marketing, CRM or customer experience, with at least 3 years leading or building a function. Track record of owning retention or loyalty in a consumer subscription business, with demonstrable impact on churn and lifetime value. You might come from anywhere - subscription tech, gaming, telco, fintech, streaming, e-commerce, hospitality or fitness. What matters is the instinct for behaviour, data and habit. Experience designing and launching a loyalty programme, gamification system or major lifecycle journey end-to-end, not just optimising one. Product-minded, with experience shipping features or journeys inside a mobile app alongside product and engineering teams. Multi-product or add-on subscription experience is a strong advantage - tiering, attach and cross-sell, downgrade paths and product-ladder economics - as is multi-market or multi-language experience.<br><br>Technical Requirements<br><br>Data-literate and hands-on - cohort analysis, survival curves, LTV modelling, churn drivers and segmentation. Strong understanding of A/B testing, experiment design, statistical significance and the traps in both. Familiarity with subscription billing platforms, recurring-payment lifecycles, dunning and involuntary churn. Comfortable using AI tools (LLMs, agents, Claude Code) to accelerate workflows and multiply your output.<br><br>Mindset<br><br>Behavioural science fluent - can name the science and apply it to a real member journey. Commercially minded - sees retention as revenue, not a soft metric, and can defend every investment in those terms. Builder mentality - energised by a blank page, a world-first mandate and the chance to define the role rather than inherit it. Exceptional communicator - can align Tech, Data, Marketing and Operations behind one retention goal. Strategic thinker who can zoom out to set direction and zoom in to write the push notification copy when it matters. Intellectually honest - reads experiment results as they are, not as they were hoped to be. AI-forward - sees AI tools as core to how a modern retention function operates.<br><br>Additional Information<br><br>What Success Looks Like: The metrics you'll move<br><br>Monthly and annual churn - the headline number you own. Member lifetime value and average length of stay. Visit frequency, and the percentage of members hitting the sticky threshold. Cancellation save-rate - members retained at the point of leaving. Add-on attach rate, add-on churn and ancillary revenue per member. App engagement, including DAU/MAU, streaks and challenge participation. Referral and win-back rates.<br><br>How to Apply<br><br>If this sounds like the perfect role for you, or someone you know, please apply and our HR team will be in touch asap with shortlisted candidates.<br><br>We look forward to hearing from you!<br><br>APPLY HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4450305141/
