## Description

About ZAD

ZAD is the brainchild of a group of young, passionate Kuwaiti financial professionals driven by a vision of fostering a culture of investment in Kuwait. And for this team, Zad began as a means to answer a need in the market: the need to make investment an accessible concept and viable choice for a broader audience

About the Role

Finance's primary point of contact facing the Operations team — every operations-related finance task routes through this role, not only client transfers. Reviews the transfer file Operations shares and executes the transfer, reviewed by the Senior Finance Officer before the Manager/Controller — Kuwait's final sign-off, and reconciles the firm's external trading-platform and custodian account balances against their invoices. Client-based reconciliation itself stays with Operations throughout — Finance reviews and executes, it does not perform that reconciliation.

Key Responsibilities

• Reviewing the transfer file shared by Operations for completeness before executing the transfer.

• Primary point of contact for the Operations team on all operations-related finance matters.

• Maintaining the daily transfer log and supporting documentation for each batch.

• First point of contact for transfer-status queries from Operations and clients.

• Escalating unusual or high-value transfers for Senior Finance Officer review ahead of Manager/Controller sign-off.

• Reconciling external trading-platform and custodian account balances against their invoices.

• Cross training as backup for the Bookkeeper/Accountant on transfer-related tasks.

• Scope boundary: does not perform client-based reconciliation, which stays with Operations — every other Finance-side operations matter routes through this role.

What Success Looks Like

• 100% of client transfers processed within the agreed same-day/next-day turnaround.

• Zero transfer errors or delays attributable to preparation, tracked monthly.

• Transfer log complete and audit-ready at all times.

Requirements

Must have

• Bachelor degree in Accounting, Finance, Business or a related field.

• Two or more years in finance operations, payments, settlements or back office processing.

• Experience executing payment or transfer batches under a maker-checker control.

• Reconciliation experience against third party statements or invoices.

• High accuracy under time pressure and a same-day turnaround culture.

• Comfortable as the day to day interface between two departments.

• Working Excel.

• Fluent in English and Arabic.

Preferable

• Brokerage, custodian or trading platform settlement experience.

• Experience maintaining an auditable transfer log.

• Exposure to client money or client account handling rules.

• Microsoft Dynamics or comparable ERP experience.
