About the role

Meridian Gulf Digital is hiring a product manager in Dubai. You will own a slice of the product with a small team, real customers and incomplete information. The job is deciding what not to build as much as what to build, and being able to explain both to the people affected.

Salaries in the UAE are advertised and paid MONTHLY and are free of income tax, which makes a straight comparison against an annual European or Indian figure misleading in both directions. Read the range below as what lands each month.

What the work actually looks like

Expect customer conversations, writing that sharpens a fuzzy problem into a shippable one, and the metrics work that tells you whether the last thing helped. You will sit with engineering during build rather than reappearing at the demo. The role is on-site in Dubai, which is where the team and most of our customers are.

What we look for

This is a senior individual-contributor role. You will be expected to push back on requirements that do not make sense and to set the technical direction for your part of the product. We are looking for prioritisation under pressure, metrics literacy and the willingness to kill your own idea when the evidence says so. A technical background helps, but clear writing helps more.

Working at Meridian Gulf Digital

The working week runs Monday to Friday, the company sponsors employment visas for the successful candidate and their dependants, and relocation is arranged and paid for. The range shown is a MONTHLY figure, which is how this market advertises salaries — it is not an annual number.

Talk to customers regularly and bring what you learn back as written problems
Define success metrics before a launch, not after it

Requirements

Dubai501-1000 peopleDigital Banking

Meridian Gulf Digital is the technology arm of a Gulf retail bank. We build the mobile app, the onboarding flow and the payments rails behind them, serving customers across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in Arabic and English.

Everything we ship is bilingual and right-to-left from the first commit rather than as a later translation pass, and everything touching money is reconciled daily. The regulatory bar is high and the engineering culture is built around it.

Our offices are in Dubai Internet City and Abu Dhabi. Salaries here are quoted and paid monthly and are free of income tax, and the company sponsors employment visas and relocation for candidates joining from abroad.
