About The Luxury Closet The Luxury Closet is the Middle East's leading platform for buying and selling pre-owned luxury goods. We've raised over $30 million, serve customers across the GCC, and are building the future of circular luxury commerce. Our operations span the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and India, with a lean, high-ownership culture where every role has outsized impact.
We're at an inflection point — scaling into new markets, deepening our AI capabilities, and driving toward profitability. This is a company where finance isn't a back-office function; it's a core driver of strategic decisions.
The Role
We're looking for a VP of Finance who can own the entire financial function across multiple jurisdictions — UAE, India, and Saudi Arabia. This isn't a role where you inherit a playbook. You'll build the financial infrastructure that enables the next phase of growth, manage a team of accountants, and serve as a strategic thought partner to the CEO and the board.
The ideal candidate is an independent thinker who understands the drivers of growth — someone who can model a new market entry, pressure-test unit economics, and communicate the story behind the numbers to investors and board members with equal clarity. What You'll Own Financial Leadership & Strategy Own all financial planning, analysis, and reporting across UAE, India, and Saudi Arabia
Build and maintain growth scenario models that inform capital allocation and market-entry decisions
Drive budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow management with a focus on capital efficiency
Develop financial frameworks that connect operational metrics to business outcomes
Partner with the CEO on fundraising strategy, investor communications, and board reporting Accounting & Compliance Lead the accounting team,
ensuring timely and accurate books across all entities and jurisdictions
Manage statutory audits, tax filings, and regulatory compliance in UAE, India, and Saudi Arabia
Own AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance for UAE operations, including KYC frameworks, transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting
Ensure full compliance with UAE Corporate Tax, India GST, and Saudi VAT regimes
Manage transfer pricing and inter-company transactions across jurisdictions Board & Investor Relations Prepare board materials, financial decks, and management commentary for quarterly board meetings
Manage investor communications, data rooms, and due diligence processes during fundraising
Build and maintain the company's financial model, cap table, and scenario analyses for investor conversations
Serve as a credible, independent voice in board discussions on financial performance and strategic trade-offs Legal & Corporate Governance Oversee legal matters including commercial contracts, licensing, and corporate governance
Manage relationships with external legal counsel, auditors, and regulatory bodies across jurisdictions
Ensure the company's corporate structure and governance frameworks support growth and compliance requirements
Stay ahead of regulatory changes in UAE, India, and Saudi Arabia that impact the business What We're Looking For 15 years+ of progressive finance experience,
with at least 5 years in a leadership role (VP Finance, Finance Director, or equivalent)
Chartered Accountant (CA) or equivalent professional qualification (CPA, ACCA)
Deep experience managing finance across multiple jurisdictions — UAE and India are essential; Saudi Arabia and USA is a solid plus
Background in e-commerce, marketplace, or technology-driven consumer businesses preferre
Experience with board reporting, investor relations, and fundraising processes
Hands-on knowledge of UAE regulations and compliance frameworks
Strong understanding of UAE Corporate Tax, India direct/indirect tax, and GCC VAT regimes
Ability to build financial models that go beyond reporting — models that drive decisions on growth, pricing, and market expansion
Experience working with Big 4 or a top-tier audit firm is a plus.
Who Thrives Here
This role is a fit if you're the kind of finance leader who: Thinks like an operator, not just a controller — you want to understand why revenue moves, not just report that it did
Communicates with clarity and conviction to boards, investors, and cross-functional teams
Takes ownership of ambiguous problems and drives them to resolution without waiting for direction
Is comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving environment where you'll build systems, not just manage them
Brings intellectual curiosity about the business — you're as interested in customer acquisition costs as you are in EBITDA Details Location: India (with periodic travel to Dubai for board meetings and planning sessions)
Type: Full-time
Compensation: Competitive, commensurate with experience and the multi-jurisdictional scope of the role
Travel: Quarterly travel to UAE; periodic travel to Saudi Arabia as needed
