We were founded in Melbourne, Australia and have offices worldwide.

Serving over seven million users worldwide, Mitrade offers unmatched accessibility across mobile (iOS and Android), desktop, and web platforms. Role Summary: We are looking for a Dubai Business Development Manager to join our team in one of our fastest‑growing markets. This is a growth hire; Dubai and the wider UAE/MENA region still have significant headroom, and this role is focused on expanding our local network of KOLs, affiliates, Introducing Brokers (IBs), and trading communities to capture that opportunity. This is a 1‑year contract role (extendable), open to candidates based in Dubai / UAE. You will own the development and management of local partners, with the primary goal of driving user acquisition, deposit conversion, and trading activation in the UAE and regional market. The successful candidate will independently identify, develop, and manage high‑quality partners, negotiate deals, and drive conversions while tracking partner performance (deposit volume, qualified traders, trading activity, commission contribution, ROI, and retention) to ensure sustainable results. We're prioritising candidates with a background at a crypto or CFD exchange, particularly those who've worked in Affiliate, KOL or IB partnerships and who know the Dubai / UAE trading market and its local acquisition channels firsthand. What You'll Do: • Own the full partner lifecycle; prospect, onboard, activate, and retain high‑quality KOLs, affiliates, IBs, and trading communities in Dubai and the UAE. • Drive user acquisition, deposit conversion, and trading activation through localized partner strategies, incentive programs, and campaigns. • Negotiate partner deals and track performance (deposit volume, qualified traders, trading activity, commission, ROI, and retention) to ensure sustainable results. • Monitor partner activities for compliance, proactively identifying and mitigating high‑risk practices (e.g., guaranteed returns, unauthorised fund management, unlicensed signals, misleading content) in line with UAE/regional financial regulatory standards. • Collaborate with Marketing, Compliance, and Product teams to localise campaigns and platform features, while staying across Dubai/UAE's crypto, CFD, and forex market trends and competitors. • Represent Mitrade at local trading events, expos, and partner meetups across Dubai and the UAE to strengthen brand presence and grow the network. What We're Looking For: • Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Finance, or a related field. • 3+ years in business development, affiliate/IB management, or partnerships within trading platforms, Forex, CFD, or Crypto with prior crypto or CFD exchange experience strongly preferred. • Proven track record independently sourcing and managing KOLs, affiliates, or IBs with tangible results in user acquisition and deposit conversion. • Deep familiarity with the Dubai / UAE / MENA trading market and local acquisition channels; existing network of regional partners is a strong plus. • Results‑driven, data‑savvy, and comfortable negotiating deals and driving conversion end‑to‑end. • Basic compliance awareness with good judgment on high‑risk promotional practices. • Fluent in English (Arabic fluency is a strong plus); based in or willing to relocate to Dubai. Mitrade is at the cutting edge of FinTech with a team that excels in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. We seek results-driven, entrepreneurial candidates who can build and manage partner relationships independently while maintaining a strong compliance mindset. What You Can Look Forward To: • Competitive base salary plus a high, uncapped commission structure tied directly to partner performance. • The chance to join a growing Dubai team and shape its next phase. • Career growth within a global, fast-growing FinTech platform serving over seven million users worldwide. • A flat organizational structure that values collaboration and transparency, with direct exposure to senior Business Development, Marketing, and Compliance leadership. • Opportunity to shape Mitrade's partner ecosystem and brand presence in one of Asia's most dynamic trading markets.
