• Define and monitor KPIs to evaluate project impact, operational efficiency, and profitability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of project management experience in prop trading, fintech, CRM/technology consulting, or financial services.

• Hands‑on experience using project management tools (Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Notion, etc.).
• Excellent analytical, communication, and coordination skills, with a proactive, results‑driven mindset.

This is a remote position, open to candidates based in Dubai, offering an opportunity to work closely with a highly skilled and globally distributed team in the trading industry.
