Finance Director MENA

Flow

About the Role

We're hiring an in-country finance leader to own corporate accounting and lead Strategic Finance. You will run month-end close, treasury, audit readiness, and budget-vs-actuals for KSA while being the regional thought leader on planning, unit economics, capital allocation, and financing strategy. You'll partner with our U.S. Strategic Finance colleague as a peer, but you own MENA: the operating model, forecasts, cash runway, and decision support. This role reports to the MENA COO, is in-office in Riyadh every day, and starts immediately.

Responsibilities

Corporate Accounting (KSA): Own GL integrity, reconciliations, 5-day close, management reporting, and audit prep; deliver monthly budget-vs-actuals with clear variance narratives

Treasury & Cash: Maintain a 13-week rolling cash-flow updated weekly; optimize working capital, payment controls, and liquidity buffers; manage KSA banking ops, KYC, signatories

Regulatory & Compliance: Ensure IFRS and SOCPA/ZATCA compliance (VAT, e-invoicing); coordinate external auditors and advisors

MENA Strategic Finance (Lead): Build and own the driver-based operating model linking unit economics - site P&L - regional consolidation; run annual planning and rolling re-forecast for MENA

Decision Support & Analytics: Run scenario planning (pricing, staffing, capex, launch cadence); produce a weekly MENA Cash & KPI pack for leadership with actionable insights

Capital Allocation & Financing Strategy: Frame optimal capital stack for MENA initiatives (equity, project debt, JV/mezz); maintain senior banking relationships and ensure smooth facility administration (no mandate to originate new facilities)

Cross-Functional Partnering: Translate finance for Ops, Product, and Development; coordinate with Property Accounting to ensure accurate building-level statements flow into KSA/MENA reporting

Systems & Process: Level up processes and controls across QuickBooks/Sage, Ramp, and Sheets/BI; standardize close, cash, and reporting cadences

Team Leadership: Coach junior team members; set SLAs; establish first-principles playbooks for close, cash, planning, and board-ready materials
