Senior Financial Controller & FP&A


Location: Dubai, UAE (hybrid: 2 days in office, 3 days remote, with the option to work from the office every day if preferred)

Reports to: Director of Finance

Contract: Full-time, permanent


About Revibe

Revibe is a fast-growing marketplace for refurbished electronics, operating across the UAE, KSA, South Africa and other markets. We connect certified sellers with customers through our own e-commerce platforms and a wide network of payment partners.

The group runs four legal entities across the UAE and South Africa. Finance sits at the heart of the business: every order, refund, payout and fee flows through our numbers, and their accuracy drives the decisions we make every week.


Role overview

We are looking for a Senior Financial Controller & FP&A to build, own and maintain the full reporting suite of the group and guarantee the accuracy of the business numbers.

You will own the monthly financial statements, cash and runway reporting and the budget, and run the reconciliations that tie our sales platforms, payment gateways, banks and database together. On group projects (transfer pricing, e-invoicing, consolidation, audits), you will work alongside the Director of Finance, who leads them.

Our ambition is a fully digitalised finance function. You will support the Director of Finance in implementing all our finance tools and in automating our processes end to end, so that the team spends its time on analysis rather than manual work. This is a hands-on role in a lean team, where you build the tools, not just run them.

    • Rigour and attention to detail: you do not let a gap go unexplained
    • Autonomy and ownership in a fast-paced, lean environment
