مدير العمليات

THE ROLE: What you ll own here.

You will run day-to-day operations at Miza, hands-on. The role covers everything between a client saying invest my money and their portfolio being deployed, reconciled, and reported, plus the operational machinery around it.

We are early stage, so there is no team beneath you yet and no one to hand the work to. You do the work yourself, spot what should be automated, and improve it with our product and engineering team. The right person wants to own the details, not manage them from a distance.

• Dealing and execution operations. Managing the lifecycle of DPM orders from allocation to execution across multiple platforms, keeping dealing calendars with counterparties, handling residuals, and checking fees against filled amounts.

• Reconciliation. Daily cash and unit reconciliations across custodians, platforms and counterparties, investigating breaks and closing them.

• Cash management. Managing cash positions and liquidity, including rolling the monthly deposit.

• Client onboarding. Running the operational side of onboarding: digital identity verification, document collection and suitability paperwork. You carry out the checks and escalate exceptions to compliance, who make the acceptance decision.

• Custody and fund administration. Day-to-day coordination with custodians and fund administrators on positions, NAV inputs, and reporting.

• Platform and process design. Working with engineering to define operational workflows in our admin dashboard and client platform: what ops inputs, what is automated, what needs manual review. You are the voice of operations in product decisions.

• Running the business. Office and vendor administration, and working with our outsourced finance and compliance teams. They own the filings, reporting and compliance programme. You are their day-to-day contact and make sure inputs and deadlines are met.

Desired Candidate Profile

You have worked in investment, fund, or DPM operations, you know how to move money, settle trades, and keep a regulator comfortable, and you want to own something rather than oversee it. You are happy to do the work yourself and grow as the business does.

• Background in fund administration, custody operations, or DPM and managed account operations

• Hands on with order routing, execution, reconciliation, corporate actions and client reporting

• Comfortable working across multiple counterparties and platforms at once

• Fluent in Arabic and English

• Uses AI tools in your current work to improve output and automate checks, and can show us an example

• Able to write clear operational requirements for engineering and to test the result

• Sound instincts on controls, such as segregation of duties and second approvals

• A record of fixing a broken process, not only following one
