Description

About Sanabil Venture Studio Sanabil Venture Studio builds and launches bold ventures from scratch in partnership with exceptional founders and operators. Backed by Sanabil Investments, we combine capital, talent, and infrastructure to turn high-conviction ideas into scalable businesses across the MENA region. We’re not here to incrementally improve — we’re here to reshape industries and rethink how startups are built. The Opportunity We’re hiring a Finance Manager to oversee the financial health of the Studio and its ventures. This role is less about transactional accounting and more about controlling, reporting, and decision support. Working closely with our external accounting partner, you’ll ensure accurate reporting, manage budgets, and provide financial insights that help the Studio allocate resources effectively and meet investor expectations. This is a high-ownership role for someone who enjoys being both hands-on and strategic — shaping financial practices in a fast-paced venture-building environment. What You’ll Do Serve as financial controller for the Studio and its ventures, ensuring reliable reporting and compliance. Manage budgets, forecasts, and cash flow planning, highlighting risks and opportunities. Consolidate and review financial reports from our accounting partner, ensuring accuracy and timeliness. Prepare management reports and dashboards for leadership and investors. Support fund-level reporting, including capital deployment, portfolio performance, and investor updates. Develop and monitor internal financial controls to safeguard assets and maintain compliance. Partner with leadership to support strategic decisions on resourcing, venture investments, and cost management. Drive improvements in financial systems, reporting, and processes to support scaling. What You Bring 6–10 years of experience in finance, controlling, or FP&A (startup, VC, PE, or consulting experience preferred). Strong knowledge of financial management, budgeting, and reporting practices. Experience managing external accounting providers or auditors. Advanced Excel/financial modeling skills; familiarity with ERP/finance systems is a plus. Strong analytical and communication skills; able to translate numbers into insights. Comfortable in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with multiple stakeholders. Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA/ACCA/CFA is a plus. Fluency in English; Arabic is an advantage. What You’ll Get The opportunity to design and own the financial backbone of a venture studio. Direct exposure to founders, leadership, and investors. Competitive compensation and growth opportunities. A high-trust, high-ownership team culture.
