Job Purpose Statement

LOOP DFS Limited is seeking a Chief Strategy Officer to drive the corporate strategy formulation and execution and market expansion of the ambitious Fintech organisation.

The ideal candidate will bring thought leadership and creative solutions to a growing organization.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the individual will work with other CXOs and the local CEOs in multiple geographic locations to connect the dots, develop strong convictions to organise resources, and initiate action to capture opportunity and mitigate threat to the Fintech’s vision.
