Location: Zamalek
Work: Hybrid (3 Days from office - 2 remote days)Reports to CEO
Strategic Finance Director
Dayra is a YC-backed fintech company building a financial operating system for the new economy. We enable companies of all sizes to offer embedded financial services: working capital financing, inventory financing, CAPEX financing, payroll management, and transfers to their gig workers and micro-business partners. We are on our way to obtaining the digital micro-finance license from the FRA, and we are looking for a Strategic Finance Manager to own our capital markets function, investor relations, and financial planning as we scale our lending book and raise institutional debt.
Key responsibilities
Debt Capital Markets
- Lead the structuring, negotiation, and execution of credit facilities with banks, DFIs, and non-bank lenders
- Build and maintain relationships with lenders; manage ongoing covenant reporting and facility compliance
- Own the credit data room: financial models, portfolio performance packs, and drawdown mechanics
- Track the market for new debt instruments relevant to our portfolio
Investor Relations
- Manage ongoing reporting to existing equity investors: board packs, KPI dashboards, quarterly updates
- Support equity fundraising processes: data room preparation, investor Q&A, and financial due diligence
- Own the investor-facing financial narrative: cohort analysis, unit economics, portfolio quality metrics
Financial Planning and Analysis
- Own the company's financial model: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and lending book projections
- Drive annual budgeting and quarterly reforecasting in partnership with the leadership team
- Build scenario models for new product lines, partner structures, and geographic expansion
- Translate operational data into financial insights that drive resource allocation decisions
Who we're looking for
- At least 7 years in investment banking, corporate finance, or strategic finance at a fintech or financial institution
- Direct experience structuring or managing debt facilities: banking relationships, term sheets, covenant packages
- Exceptionally strong financial modeling; you can build a three-statement lending model from scratch and defend every assumption
- Experience preparing materials for institutional investors or lenders, not just internal decks
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity: we're early-stage, and you'll be building a process, not inheriting it
- Fluency in the Egyptian banking and non-banking regulatory landscape is a strong plus
