This is an exciting career opportunity for a highly experienced finance executive with a strong background in film & TV production.
The role is based in the MENA region with substantial regional travel.
The tax-free remuneration package will reflect the importance of the role.
Our client is a major producer of filmed entertainment content, primarily for the Middle Eastern market. Their content is distributed via their numerous tv channels and their own streaming service to a regional audience of millions.
The company’s total annual budget covering a wide range of TV and feature film projects is in the hundreds of millions of dollars – which explains the importance of this role.
Reporting to the Group CFO, the role will require you to gain a firm grasp of the production finance function, ensuring that productions are adequately financed on the best possible terms and that the company’s production finance team and processes are optimised.
The role requires extensive experience of production finance perhaps as a CFO for a production company or a Studio division.
You must be confident and comfortable dealing with co-producers, banks, other Corporate and Government officials – and colleagues.
The role will be demanding and is not for someone looking for the easy life! There will be extensive travel both between Dubai and KSA and further afield. And the volume of projects (and related deadlines) requires an exceptional individual who is organised, calm, and fast-thinking.
The tax-free remuneration package will be substantial and will reflect the seniority and responsibility attached to the role.
