We’re not looking for a traditional CFO. We’re looking for a builder, strategist, and operator who can own the financial engine of a high-growth financing startup.

This role is about scaling, structuring, and unlocking growth—not just reporting numbers.

What You’ll Own:

• Build and lead the full finance function (FP&A, treasury, accounting, reporting)
• Drive financial strategy, forecasting, and scenario planning
• Optimize unit economics, pricing models, and profitability
• Lead fundraising, investor relations, and debt structuring
• Manage cash flow, liquidity, and capital efficiency
• Ensure compliance with SAMA and financial regulations
• Partner with the CEO and COO to scale the business sustainably

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in fintech, financing, banking, or high-growth startups
• Strong background in fundraising, debt financing, or structured finance
• Deep understanding of lending economics, risk, and portfolio management
• Hands‑on, analytical, and execution‑driven
• Ability to operate in ambiguity and move fast
• Builder mindset—comfortable creating systems from scratch

Why This Role:

• Shape the financial future of a scaling fintech
• High ownership and direct impact on growth
• Competitive package + upside (equity potential)
• Work closely with founders and investors
