Senior Talent Sourcer

About the Job

We’re hiring a Senior Talent Sourcer to help scale Lean’s team through precision, proactivity, and data-driven sourcing. You’ll own the top of our recruiting funnel — mapping markets, building long-term talent pools, and engaging high-caliber candidates across key domains like product, engineering, sales, and customer success.

This is a highly strategic role that combines analytics, market insight, and relationship-building. You’ll collaborate directly with hiring managers, the Talent team, and business leaders to ensure Lean attracts and converts exceptional talent across KSA and UAE.

If you love uncovering hidden talent, understanding what drives people, and making hires that strengthen a company’s long-term success, you’ll thrive in this role.

About Lean

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.

Backed by top-tier global investors, including General Catalyst, Sequoia, and Shorooq, and having recently raised $67.5M in Series B funding, we’re building the rails for Open Finance in MENA. We’re trusted by 250+ clients across the UAE and Saudi Arabia — including the likes of Binance, Etisalat Group, Careem, Sarwa, and many more - making it the region’s most valuable Open Banking platform.

Joining Lean means working on impactful problems, shaping the future of finance in the region, and being part of a fast-growing team that’s setting the standard for open banking in MENA.
