- Capability to turn strategic opportunities into investment cases that clearly set out revenue upside, cost impact, assumptions, risks, and delivery priorities.
- Awareness of technology and platform cost implications in digital financial services, even if not acting as a technical implementation specialist.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for senior-level narratives, presentations, and client-ready deliverables.
- Comfort collaborating across strategy, operations, technology, regulatory, risk, and product functions.
- Ability to perform effectively in fast-moving proposal and delivery settings across multiple GCC markets.
- Capability to own workstreams independently, coordinate team members, and engage senior stakeholders.

- Experience in in-house strategy, digital, product, or corporate development roles at banks, FinTechs, payment companies, or digital financial services platforms.
- Exposure to projects involving digital banks, wallets, payments, FinTech, market entry, revenue pools, product strategy, or business cases.
