    Design and implement end-to-end collections and recovery strategies (soft, hard, legal), including dunning cycles, escalation policies, restructuring frameworks, and settlement decisions.

    Oversee overdue portfolio management, coordinate with legal teams for enforcement actions, define write-off and recovery procedures, and track collection performance against recovery KPI.


    Funding, Yield & Cost Optimization:

    Optimize cost of funds and lending unit economics by balancing insurance coverage, expected credit loss, pricing, margins, and overall profitability.

    Monitor borrowing base and facility utilization, and collaborate with finance to ensure adequate yield and sustainable portfolio returns.

    Bank & Institutional Relationships:
    Manage relationships with banks, lenders, and institutional funding partners, including negotiating financing facilities, warehouse lines, and structured programs.
    Present portfolio performance to lenders and investors while maintaining reporting obligations and stakeholder confidence.

    Regulatory & Compliance Oversight:
    Ensure adherence to UAE financial regulations and lender requirements, including AML/KYC alignment with the Compliance & Risk function.
    Support credit governance (approval matrices, credit committees) and oversee audits, due diligence, and regulatory reporting.
    Qualifications
    8-15 years experience in Banking, SME Lending, Trade Finance or Fintech Lending.
    Strong background in credit risk, underwriting and portfolio management.
    Experience managing collections or recoveries in a lending environment. Dealing with institutional lenders or credit insurers.
