Hi all — I’m a Manager at a Big Four in London with 7 years’ experience in sustainable finance (banking, sustainability strategy & implementation).

I’m exploring the Dubai market and trying to understand what opportunities look like in this space. I’m not seeing many roles posted on LinkedIn — I read somewhere that demand can be strong but is network driven and may be less advertised - is this true or is the market still developing? Appreciate anyones thoughts.
