Head of Product

Head of Product - B2B Fintech

Industry: B2B Fintech / FMCG Trade Finance

Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

What You'll Drive

The FMCG trade credit market in Saudi Arabia is worth $26 billion. This business is going after it. Carved out of a leading Saudi venture studio in January 2025, this is a B2B BNPL platform built for the real economy — and it's already live with 250 active merchants.

You'll be the first senior product hire, reporting directly to the Founder and CEO, owning vision, roadmap, and delivery across a credit workflow portal, merchant mobile app, and decisioning engine. No CPO above you, no CTO yet. The CEO has made the growth path explicit: this role becomes CPO as the business scales toward Series A and beyond.

What You'll Focus On

• Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap from the ground up
• Deliver the credit workflow portal MVP and establish operational and risk workflows
• Design and launch the merchant mobile app MVP
• Own product requirements for the credit scoring and decisioning engine
• Manage an outsourced development team until a CTO is brought on
• Build the product metrics, OKRs, and tooling from a blank page

Who You Are

• 7-10+ years in product, including at least one senior or lead role
• Background in fintech, B2B platforms, or marketplaces
• Strong pedigree from a recognised company regionally or globally
• Technically strong enough to manage and challenge an engineering lead
• Comfortable in ambiguous, early-stage environments
• Available to start within two months

Stands out if you have:

• Experience in B2B payments, embedded finance, or trade credit
• Exposure to FMCG, supply-chain, or distribution-led businesses
• Product experience across the GCC or other high-growth emerging markets

Why You'll Thrive Here

• Founding product role with an explicit CPO trajectory
• Up to 5% ESOP in a pre-Series A company targeting a $26 billion market
• Backed by a leading venture studio with Series A runway support
• Live pilot, real merchants, real repayment data — this is not zero to one
• Full autonomy over product vision and structure from day one
• Relocation to Riyadh supported within a 12-month window
• Medical insurance for employee and family; visa and housing support at Series A
