Finance Manager – (Financial Controller) | Emirati Talent – Majid Al Futtaim

Majid Al Futtaim Holding, the leading shopping mall, retail, communities, and entertainment group in the region, is hiring a Finance Manager (Financial Controller) in Dubai, in a role designated for Emirati Talent. This is a controllership-focused finance leadership role within one of the region’s most recognized diversified consumer and real estate businesses, spanning malls, hypermarkets, cinemas, and leisure destinations.

The core of the role is financial control and P&L management — overseeing accurate financial reporting, ensuring compliance with accounting standards and internal controls, and providing the financial rigor that business unit leaders rely on to manage their P&L responsibly. Given Majid Al Futtaim’s scale and the variety of business lines it operates, this role requires both technical accounting depth and the ability to work closely with operational leadership to make sure financial control isn’t just a compliance exercise but a genuine input into how the business is run.

This suits an experienced finance professional with strong financial control and P&L management expertise, comfortable operating at a senior level within a large, structured organization. As an Emiratisation-focused role, it’s built as a genuine leadership pathway for Emirati finance talent within one of the region’s flagship companies.

Financial control at a group with the scale and diversity of Majid Al Futtaim — spanning malls, retail, entertainment, and communities — is what keeps the numbers behind every one of those business lines genuinely trustworthy, both for internal decision-making and for the group's external stakeholders and investors. A Financial Controller who maintains rigorous, accurate reporting protects the integrity of the entire financial picture leadership relies on to allocate capital, evaluate business unit performance, and make expansion decisions across the group's diverse portfolio. Beyond the technical accuracy of the numbers, strong financial control also supports better P&L management at the business unit level, since operational leaders who trust the financial reporting they're given are able to make faster, more confident decisions about their own part of the business. In a group this large, where a single reporting error or control gap can ripple across multiple business units before it's caught, the discipline and rigor a strong Financial Controller brings has a real, compounding protective effect on the wider organization's financial credibility and operational decision-making.

Holding a Financial Controller role at Majid Al Futtaim places a finance professional at the center of one of the region's most recognized diversified businesses, with direct exposure to how financial control and P&L management actually operate across malls, retail, entertainment, and community development simultaneously — a breadth of business exposure that's difficult to find in a single-sector employer. As a designated Emiratisation leadership role, it also comes with genuine structural support for career progression, positioning strong performers for further senior finance leadership roles within the group over time, including potentially CFO-track positions at the business unit or group level. The technical rigor of financial control work at this scale — strong internal controls, complex multi-business-unit reporting, and close partnership with operational leadership — builds a genuinely senior finance skill set that's highly regarded across the regional finance community, whether a career continues within Majid Al Futtaim or eventually moves elsewhere. Working within one of the region's flagship consumer and real estate groups also carries real reputational weight on a CV, and the relationships built with senior operational leaders across such a varied business provide a genuinely broad professional network. For an Emirati finance leader building toward a CFO or senior finance executive career, few roles in the region combine this much business breadth with this much structured leadership support.
