You will have the opportunity to become a hands-on HR leader at Fortis—not a nominal manager, but someone who dives into cases, partners directly with the business, and grows with a fast-paced fintech company.
LifePay & Fortis is a group of fintech companies. We are building a reliable payment infrastructure and automating business processes for thousands of partners.
What you will do
Business Partnering
- Be a partner to the CEO and team leads at Fortis, focusing on business results rather than formal HR metrics
- Independently identify business and stakeholder pain points, proposing and implementing solutions without the need for constant top-down control
Team Management
- Manage and develop the local HR team (6 people), ensuring smooth operational work
- Control the quality and speed of hiring during the company's active expansion, including key and urgent positions
Legal & Compliance
- Ensure compliance with UAE labor law: contracts, legal risks, regulatory requirements for a legal entity in Dubai
- Support the licensing process in Dubai with a focus on HR and legal aspects
HR Initiatives
- Roll out and adapt global HR programs to the local context, participating in their formation at the global level
- Implement and support global projects, mission, values, R&D, and transformation initiatives

- Knowledge of UAE/Dubai labor law, experience with legal/compliance and legal entity structure
- Experience in fintech or large Big Tech with a broad product line
- Conversational English
Soft Skills
- Analytical mindset: ability to independently understand an issue
- Data-driven approach: ability to evaluate initiatives through numbers, communicate with the business in the language of metrics, and assess their impact on business results through them
- High level of responsibility for results and proactivity

Nice-to-have
- Experience working in a company with multiple legal entities or an umbrella brand
- Background in Compensation & Benefits (C&B)
- Experience scaling the HR function in a company at the stage of active growth
We are looking for someone who is ready to work physically from our office in Dubai.

- Benefits and perks for employees
