Responsibilities

As the Head of Finance based in Riyadh, you will be pivotal in steering the financial direction of the company and enhancing our financial performance.

What will help you succeed in this role?

  • Proven Expertise: Extensive experience in financial management within a multi-national corporation, preferably in the legal or professional services sectors.
  • Saudi Experience: Familiarity with local accounting rules and taxes, with proficiency in Arabic, as financial records must be maintained in Arabic.
  • Strategic Thinker: Ability to craft and implement financial strategies that align with the company's long-term goals.
  • Analytical Skills: Strong capability in financial analysis, budget management, and forecasting.
  • Technical Proficiency: Excellent command of financial systems (experience with Zoho Books and 3E preferred), alongside advanced MS Excel skills.
