Company Description

About Khazna

Khazna launched in 2020 with a mission to improve the financial well-being of the underbanked across the Middle East by providing access to convenient, effective and secure smartphone-based financial services. In the next phase of its journey, Khazna is looking to continue scaling up its operations in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Junior Legal Associate to join Khazna’s in-house legal team and support our growing operations in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll get exposure to contracts, regulatory filings, and corporate matters in a fast-moving fintech environment. You’ll work directly with the Legal Manager on NDAs, service agreements, and contract templates, while coordinating with internal teams (finance, commercial, risk, product, operations, and HR).

If you’re eager to learn, have solid legal foundations, and want to understand how fintech really works behind the scenes, this is a great place to start and grow.
