About the Role

zypl.ai is scaling from Series A into its next growth phase, building AI-powered risk and decisioning infrastructure across Central Asia, MENA and global markets. We are seeking a CFO to own the full financial function — from fundraising and investor relations through financial planning, controls, and multi-jurisdiction compliance — and to serve as a strategic partner to the CEO and board as the company scales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead financial strategy, planning and analysis (FP&A), including annual budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modelling to support high-growth scaling.

  • Own fundraising execution alongside the CEO: prepare data rooms, financial models, and investor materials for Series B and onwards.

  • Build and manage investor relations, reporting, and board communications with institutional and strategic investors.

  • Establish and scale financial controls, accounting, treasury, and cash-flow management across multiple jurisdictions (UAE/DIFC, Central Asia).

  • Oversee statutory compliance, audit, tax structuring, and regulatory reporting in a DIFC and cross-border context.

  • Design and manage capital allocation, unit economics, and pricing frameworks in partnership with commercial and product leaders.

  • Build out and lead the finance team as headcount and revenue scale.

  • Support M&A, corporate structuring, and strategic partnerships across the A7Sigma ecosystem.

Requirements

  • Proven experience as CFO, VP Finance, or senior finance leader in a company that has raised and operated at Series A and beyond.

  • Direct experience preparing for and executing institutional fundraising rounds (Series A/B+).

  • Strong background in FP&A, financial modelling, and investor-grade reporting.

  • Experience operating in fintech, financial services, or a regulated environment; familiarity with DIFC or comparable financial free-zone regimes strongly preferred.

  • Track record managing finance across multiple jurisdictions and currencies.

  • Qualified accountant (ACCA / CPA / CFA or equivalent) or MBA-level financial training preferred.

  • Comfortable in a high-intensity, fast-scaling startup with a hands-on, builder mindset.

  • Willing to be based in Dubai, UAE.

What We Offer

  • A senior seat shaping the financial future of a fast-scaling AI / fintech company.

  • Direct partnership with the CEO and board through the company's next funding milestones.

  • Competitive executive compensation with equity participation.

  • UAE (DIFC) base within a growing regional and global ecosystem.
