About the Role
We are looking for a sharp, financial-analysis-driven Analyst to join Remitly's Finance team in Dubai. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of financial analysis, systems, and regulatory data - built for someone who thinks like an analyst first: comfortable building models and dashboards, interrogating data with SQL, and translating numbers into business insight, while also supporting the regulatory reporting layer that keeps Remitly compliant across Middle East and APAC jurisdictions.
You will work closely with a senior finance leader who owns FPA, regulatory strategy and stakeholder relationships. Your core focus is financial analysis and systems support for the region; regulatory reporting support is a required but secondary part of the mandate.
You Will:
Financial Analysis & Systems Support
Partner with regional Finance leadership on financial analysis, reporting packages, and data-driven insights supporting business and regulatory decision-making
Support unit economics and business performance analysis - contributing to LTV, CAC, and customer/segment profitability views used by Finance leadership
Build and maintain dashboards and models (Hex, Excel/Sheets, SQL) that give leadership visibility into key financial and operational metrics
Work with Engineering and Product teams to define data requirements, validate system outputs, and ensure financial data flows align with reporting needs
Identify gaps in existing reporting infrastructure and propose structured, scalable solutions
Assist with business case and investment analysis for new products, licences, or market entry initiatives, working alongside senior Finance stakeholders
Regulatory Reporting Support
Support preparation of timely, accurate regulatory reports for multiple jurisdictions including UAE, KSA and Bahrain
Maintain oversight of regulatory reporting calendars and compliance trackers
Support daily/weekly client fund safeguarding reconciliations and reporting packages
Assist with statutory audit and client money AUP deliverables alongside accounting, compliance, and external auditors
You Have:
Required:
3+ years in financial analysis, FP&A, or a related analytical finance role, ideally in fintech, payments, or a licensed financial services environment.
SQL, Advanced Excel/Sheets, and Power BI (or equivalent) - you build the models and dashboards, not just read them
Power BI or equivalent BI tool experience - you build reports and dashboards, not just consume them.
Comfortable leveraging AI tools to accelerate analytical workflows and automate repetitive reporting tasks
Experience working within a licensed fintech, payments company, e-money institution, or regulated financial services firm - you understand how data and compliance intersect in a live regulatory environment
Exposure to regulatory reporting processes, client fund reconciliations, or safeguarding frameworks in a fintech or payments context
Builder's mindset - when a process or framework is missing, you create it rather than wait
Strong cross-functional collaborator - comfortable working directly with Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and Product teams
Prior experience in an FP&A, business analytics, or commercial finance function, ideally within a fintech, payments, or high-growth tech environment
Plus
Direct experience with regulatory environments submissions in GCC countries.
Exposure to new entity licensing processes or financial system implementation projects
Background in payments infrastructure, MSB or EMI licensing environments
