About Alaan

Alaan is the Middle East's first AI-powered spend management platform, built to help businesses save time and money.
Our all-in-one solution combines smart corporate cards, real-time expense tracking, AI-powered automation, seamless accounting integrations, and deep financial insights- designed to simplify finance operations and maximize control over company spend.

Founded in 2022, Alaan is already the trusted partner of over 1,300 leading businesses across the UAE, including G42, Careem, McDonald's, Tabby, Al Barari, Rove Hotels, Rivoli, and CarSwitch. Together, our customers have saved over AED 100 million with Alaan.

In just three years, Alaan has become the #1 expense management platform in the Middle East- and we've done it while becoming profitable.

Backed by Y Combinator and top global investors- including founders and executives of leading startups- Alaan is built by a world-class team from McKinsey, BCG, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Zomato, Careem, Rippling, and other high-growth companies.

We're not just building software. We're reimagining how finance works for modern businesses across the region.

About the role

We're looking for a Marketing Manager to be our brand's voice, vibe, and energy on the ground in Saudi Arabia.

You'll be at the heart of Alaan's KSA story - building our local community, creating content that travels, launching unforgettable offline activations, and collaborating with influencers, creators, and customers. This is not a desk job. You'll be on the move, turning everyday interactions into brand moments.

We're looking for a doer. A builder. A connector. Someone who knows Saudi, lives and breathes

content, and can make things happen fast.

What you'll do

• Content on the ground - Shoot and produce reels, customer stories, product demos, and on-the-fly content that fuels our marketing engine. From cafés to co-working spaces to customer offices, you'll go where the stories are - and bring them to life.
• Run out KSA Community - Be the heart of Alaan in Saudi Arabia - digitally and in person. Manage and grow local WhatsApp groups and social touchpoints, drive authentic engagement, and make people feel part of something bigger. Share helpful resources, spark meaningful convos, and occasionally, drop a meme or two.
• BTL Activations - Plan and execute creative brand moments: food truck stunts, mascot appearances, coffee shop pop-ups, and more. Lead all the ideation, coordination, and behind-the-scenes hustle.
• Own the Event Game - Organize and host unforgettable community events, from venue sourcing to vibe setting. Ensure every touchpoint is on-brand and on-point.
• Influencer and Creator Management - Build relationships with Saudi-based creators who align with our values. Brief, negotiate, review, and manage content pipelines with precision.

What we are looking for

• 3+ years in marketing
• Proactive, creative, and seriously resourceful.
• Love being out and about, not glued to a desk.
• Based in Saudi Arabia, fluent in Arabic & English.
• A well-rounded marketing generalist, you've done a bit of everything.

What's in it for you

• Contribute to building the Middle East's most beloved fintech brand from the ground up
• Benefit from a role with significant ownership and accountability
• Thrive in a flexible hybrid culture with ample work-life balance
• Participate in exciting offsite events
• Competitive salary and equity
• Enjoy additional perks like travel allowances, gym memberships, and more
