About the Role
The Head of Finance will build and own the finance function end to end, managing the monthly close, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash management for a Saudi-born sovereign technology company. This role is pivotal as the company transitions into its first institutional round and its first audited year as a multi-entity organization. You will directly influence how the group operates financially, establish in-house systems, and guide the team’s growth. This is a unique opportunity for someone looking to create a function from the ground up rather than inherit an existing one.

Responsibilities
- Close & Management Reporting
- Run the monthly close and management reporting for the group and per business unit, including people costs, performance bonuses, non-people OPEX, and contribution margins, in a calendar that the Management Committee and the Board can rely on.
- Budget, Forecast & Model
- Own the budget, quarterly forecast, and five-year model as the single source of truth, reconciling partner revenue share by tier, Frontier attach, and headcount off the seat roster with the Board pack and partnership strategy.
- Cash, Treasury & Compliance
- Manage cash, treasury, statutory accounts, tax, and audit for the Saudi operating company and the holding company while transitioning from an outsourced provider to an in-house ledger and ERP.
- Controls & Delegation of Authority
- Oversee the finance aspects of the Delegation of Authority, including expenditure approvals, travel and expenses, payroll inputs, recruitment fees, and provide the Finance perspective on every seat-release recommendation to the GNRC.
- Investor & Board Reporting
- Support the data room, deal collaboration, and numbers behind term sheets, including partner revenue-share economics and transfer pricing between Technologies and Frontier.
Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking an individual who is exact, curious, and calm—someone who is as comfortable in the ledger as in the model, deeply interested in understanding the business's financial mechanics rather than solely reporting numbers.
- Curiosity
- You are driven to understand the details of partner deals, revenue-generation factors, and anticipate inquiries from stakeholders.
- Speed of Learning
- You can quickly master new jurisdictions, systems, and instruments and articulate them clearly.
- Ownership
- You have directly owned a close, a forecast, and an audit, and are prepared to manage the entire finance function in its early stages.
- Judgment
- Able to make informed decisions about spending with policy support and remain composed under fundraising pressures.
- Qualifications
- Professionally qualified (CPA, ACCA, CA, or equivalent) with experience in a venture-backed or rapidly growing company and knowledge of Saudi requirements or deep GCC exposure. Proficiency in English is essential; Arabic is an advantage.
The Seat
- Reports to: Managing Director
- Location: Riyadh, with travel across the Kingdom as required
