What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead end-to-end product ownership in banking/capital markets, combining finance depth with digital execution and agile delivery while working in a fast-paced, collaborative culture. I am also a great fit for operations related roles.

I’m a Product Manager and Finance professional with 10+ years of experience supporting Wealth and Credit Card products across banking and capital markets. I own products end-to-end—from ideation and defining product strategy/roadmaps to leading discovery, UAT, and launch—so digital features improve both client experience and commercial performance.

I bring strong market research and analytical depth, including financial modelling, financial projections, and pricing proposals. I also drive partner integrations with ecosystems like VISA, Euronet, and CMS providers, coordinating cross-functional teams using agile practices (sprint planning and Jira-driven backlog management) to deliver on time.

My results include designing a cashback loyalty program strategy for credit cardholders at MCB Bank, improving internal audit ratings through wealth-management process streamlining, and setting up regulatory-compliant steering to monitor performance quarterly. I’m equally comfortable in compliance and stakeholder-heavy environments—having represented Lucky Cement Ltd. at regulatory hearings and coordinated actions that reduced penalties from PKR1M to 0—while keeping teams focused on measurable outcomes.
