We are a fast‑paced, PE‑backed startup in the FMCG & wellness space, building the next generation of consumer brands in the UAE and beyond. We are lean, fast, and focused — and we’re now looking for a reliable Admin & Accountant to ensure smooth financial operations and efficient admin processes.

Role Overview

This is a hybrid Admin + Junior Accountant role, ideal for someone who thrives in structured execution and takes full ownership of routine processes. You will not be asked to “build” systems — but you will be expected to run them reliably, professionally, and with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

Admin

• Manage scheduling, meeting coordination, and calendar alignment
• Book travel, hotels, and logistics for senior leadership and team
• Handle office needs: courier services, utilities, supplier communication, etc.

Accounting & Finance Support

• Coordinate and track payments, invoices, bills, and expense reports
• Submit all financial data to external tax/accounting partners on time
• Manage documentation: contracts, payroll, and banking operations
• Maintain accurate digital records in Excel/Google Sheets
• Ensure timely and complete compliance with UAE reporting requirements

Must-Have Requirements

• Based in UAE, familiar with local financial/admin practices
• Strong command of English (Russian is a plus)
• Excellent with Excel and Google Sheets
• Highly accountable, responsive, and discreet
• Previous experience handling contracts, payroll, and banking
• Ability to coordinate with third‑party service providers and vendors
• 1–3 years of relevant experience in an admin/accounting role

What Success Looks Like

• No follow‑ups required: tasks are completed on time, every time
• Processes run smoothly and predictably
• The founders and investors can focus on growth — not paperwork
