CONFIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITY | Cyber Security Manager | Dubai
A confidential opportunity has arisen for an experienced Cyber Security Manager to join a regulated financial services organization in Dubai.
This is a critical role within a technology environment where security, regulatory compliance and commercial agility need to work together.
We are looking for someone who understands that effective cyber security is not simply about adding controls and processes. The successful candidate will help build an environment that is secure, resilient and compliant while remaining nimble, flexible and capable of moving at the pace of the business.
The role
You will work within a matrix technology operating model, partnering closely with other technology and business leaders to ensure that cyber security, technology risk and governance requirements are embedded into how we operate.
Key responsibilities will include:
What we are looking for
This role requires direct financial services experience. Experience in a general corporate or technology environment alone will not be sufficient.
You should have experience within:
Financial Services → Payments → ideally Merchant Acquiring
Candidates with direct experience working for a Payment Service Provider (PSP), particularly within a merchant acquiring or payments environment, will be strongly preferred.
Experience dealing directly with UAE Central Bank regulatory requirements is essential.
We are looking for someone who can operate comfortably between regulation, technology and commercial reality — someone who understands the regulatory requirements but can also challenge unnecessary complexity and help the business remain competitive.
Essential experience
If you do not have direct payments/PSP and UAE Central Bank experience, this opportunity is unlikely to be the right fit.
