Principal Product Manager???? Up to 55,000 AED per month (equivalent to 180k USD p/a) TAX FREE + benefits???? Dubai (relocation assistance available)
We are hiring a Principal Product Manager to build and lead a brand new ventures function inside one of Dubai's most talked about Fin Tech companies. This is a founding seat reporting straight into the Chief Product Officer, created to move promising ideas out of the "stuck" pile and into the market fast.
This is not a standard product role. It is for someone who runs at ambiguity, moves at speed, and treats every idea as a bet that has to earn its place. Funding is not the constraint here. Conviction, evidence, and velocity are.
Discover the company You will be joining a regulated Fin Tech business backed by strong partnerships with Dubai's property and virtual asset regulators, they have already built real credibility in the market. Now they are carving out a small, fast moving venture studio to test bold ideas that sit outside the core roadmap ????.
Discover the role Your job is to take fuzzy concepts and turn them into validated opportunities, or kill them quickly and move on. You will run several bets at once, usually four to six at any given time, each moving through a tight validation cycle of roughly four to twelve weeks. The rhythm looks like fast research and prototyping, then real customer signals, then a clear decision on whether to build a full team around it.
You will own the whole journey from idea to evidence. That means setting sharp hypotheses on day one, defining strict kill, pivot, or scale measures, and getting a manual version of a service in front of the first handful of customers within weeks rather than months.
Discover the responsibilities Turn ambiguous ideas into clear customer problems and testable hypotheses with strict success measures from the start. Run lean validation before any production code, using interviews, landing pages, prototypes, waitlists, concierge style MVPs, manual operations, and paid tests. Build fast with AI tools and no code workflows, personally shipping high fidelity landing pages and working prototypes in days. Judge AI use cases on real market viability rather than novelty. Graduate winning bets into the core business or a dedicated team once they hit clear revenue or retention milestones. Make honest calls on when to kill or pivot, and protect the team from overbuilding.
Discover the requirements A strong track record building products from zero to one, ideally as a founder or an early product hire in a fast growing startup, or working in some sort of venture studio / innovation team. Real innovation leadership, not just execution inside a bigger machine. Genuinely frugal and resourceful, able to make progress with limited budget, limited engineering, and imperfect information. Fluent with AI tools and modern product building, able to prototype quickly without waiting on a full team. Strong commercial instinct and customer empathy, with the judgment to explain trade offs and recommendations to senior stakeholders. Comfort defining and measuring KPIs and working with growth leads on targeted campaigns and A/B testing.
We would love to hear from people who have built inside venture studios or high growth product teams within successful .
If you have built things from nothing, love the messy early days, and want the freedom to run several bets at once with real backing behind you, this one is worth a conversation ????.
