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
Skills Required
- At least 7 years in investment banking, corporate finance, or strategic finance
- Experience structuring or managing debt facilities
