Finance Operations Team Lead

SUMMARY:
Brief Description
This client does not play small. They’re a fast-scaling, Sharia-compliant asset manager backed by one of the world’s most influential Islamic fintechs. Their mission? To close the wealth gap in the global Muslim community by building powerful, ethical investment opportunities that work for people — not against them.
They’re already smashing their AUM records every quarter, and with a $4 trillion+ global Islamic finance market up for grabs, they’re just getting started. Now, they’re looking for a Finance Operations Lead to help keep the financial engine running like clockwork. 🚨 Spoiler Alert: If you’re into pointless meetings, red tape, or corporate politics… they’re not the place for you. They are lean, mission-focused, and laser-sharp on delivering real-world impact
