We're moving to a more data-driven and strategic approach to investment; the right candidate will bring a maturity and forward-thinking perspective to our work and be a real strategic partner to the business, allowing us to unlock new opportunities for growth.

Who are we

Lean enables companies to seamlessly connect to their users' bank accounts to initiate real-time payments and retrieve their account information. Our products have garnered the trust of leading companies and enabled them to deliver powerful experiences when connected with a user's bank account, allowing users to perform prudent financial planning, get better rates on loans, transfer money to friends, and more, without compromising on privacy or security.

Some of Lean's clients include the likes of Binance, Etisalat Group, Careem, Sarwa, and many more, making it the region's most valuable Open Banking platform. The company has now processed over a billion dollars, and its products are also connected with hundreds of thousands of accounts. Lean envisions a fully inclusive financial ecosystem that serves everyone, no matter where they bank or live in the MENAP region.

  • Owning the forecasting and budgeting tools
  • Long-term financial planning and modelling
  • Interpreting complex financial information to provide updates and commercial guidance
  • Developing complex models such as customer acquisition and lifetime value analysis
  • ROI for investments in product development, marketing and other areas
  • Supporting Fundraising and Corporate Development/M&A
  • Supporting Investor Relations
  • Assisting with other strategic finance and pricing projects as required

Desired Qualifications

  • Previous experience with Financial modelling
  • Experience in financial planning and analysis roles
  • Experience working in a SaaS or fintech environment
  • Presenting to senior stakeholders
  • Corporate Finance experience is advantageous
  • Exposure to a high-growth or high-change business environment

NB. While we think the above experience could be important, we're keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply

Why Join us?

Lean is the first regulated open banking and open finance company operating across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Since 2019 we've been on a mission to become the pre-eminent A2A payments company in the Middle East - enabling our clients to seamlessly connect to their users' bank accounts to initiate real-time payments and retrieve account information. Our products have garnered the trust of some of the leading companies in the region, including the likes of Etisalat Group, Careem, Binance, Tabby, Tamara, Tawuniya, and more.

To date, Lean has processed billions of dollars, and our products have connected with hundreds of thousands of accounts across the region. We've recently announced our $67.5 million Series B funding round led by General Catalyst, following earlier investment from Sequoia Capital. This funding marks a major milestone for Lean and the financial ecosystem across the MENA region. At Lean, we're committed to driving the next generation of financial innovation by making financial data and payments more accessible and transparent for businesses and consumers alike.

To that end, we're always on the lookout for talented, driven, and entrepreneurial candidates to join us in our mission of enabling the next generation of financial innovation. If you're motivated by solving hard problems and leaving a lasting legacy while you're at it, Lean's where you need to be.

Not only do we offer competitive salaries, private healthcare, and flexible office hours, but we also insist that every member of the team hold a meaningful equity stake in the business to ensure long-term alignment. We'd love you to join us for this journey

Lean is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.

When applying for a job at Lean Technologies, we will need to collect, use and share Personal Data about you with different members of our team during the application process. This may mean transferring your data to members of the team in one of our office locations worldwide outside of the country you are in.
