 will be a strong advantage.
 
 
 What you&rsquo;ll do
 
 
 In this role, you will:
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 Lead core HR operations in KSA
 
 </li>
 <li>
 Own recruitment processes (sourcing, screening, interview coordination) for key roles.

 </li>
 <li>
 Coordinate with external providers on telecoms, logistics, and other local services.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Support finance operations
 
 </li>
 <li>
 Execute day-to-day payments (payroll, government payments, vendors) in coordination with HQ Finance.
 </li>
 <li>
 Help maintain accuracy, timeliness, and basic internal controls across finance operations.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Build for the future
 
 </li>
 <li>

 </li>
 <li>
 Partner with universities and institutions to build
 
 local talent pipelines
 
 .
 </li>
 <li>
 Contribute ideas on how to structure and evolve the shared services function as the team grows.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Who we&rsquo;re looking for
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 Saudi
 
 with strong
 
 HR experience
 
 and a track record in
 
 shared services / people &amp; operations
 
 roles.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 4&ndash;6 years&rsquo; experience
 
 across HR, finance operations, or shared services, ideally in
 
 fintech, tech, or other high-growth environments
 
 .
 </li>

 Bilingual in
 
 Arabic &amp; English

 <li>
 A
 
 consulting-style mindset
 
 (whether from consulting or similar environments): structured thinking, problem-solving, and comfort working closely with senior leadership.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Timing &amp; growth potential
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 This is an
 
 important but not urgent
 
 hire, with a
 
 target start in early 2026
 
 . That means we can be
 
 selective and deliberate
 
 , focusing on quality and long-term fit rather than speed.
 </li>
 <li>
 Depending on the strength and profile of candidates, the company may
 
 evolve this into two roles
 
 in the future (e.g., HR &amp; Finance Ops Officer + Executive Support &amp; Office Management).
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong candidates who are an excellent fit for part of the scope &ndash; but not the full mix &ndash; may be kept in an
 
 internal talent pipeline
 
 for future opportunities.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 If you&rsquo;re a
 
 Saudi
 
 with a strong HR foundation and the ambition to own a
 
 broad people &amp; operations portfolio
 
 at a fast-growing GCC company, this role offers a rare chance to build something meaningful from the ground up.
