With access to institutional capital, hands-on venture building expertise, and an expansive regional network, we are reimagining what entrepreneurship can look like in the Kingdom.

The Opportunity: SME Neobank

Partner with compliance, legal, and tech teams to ensure regulatory alignment

Use data, experimentation, and direct user research to drive continuous product improvement

Coordinate closely with marketing, operations, and commercial functions to align product

Foster a product-led culture focused on customer obsession, agility, and measurable results

Who You Are

Product-first founder or operator with 6+ years experience in digital banking, fintech, or SaaS

Deep knowledge of SME financial challenges, from payments and lending to compliance and UX

Proven track record of building and scaling customer-centric digital products from zero to scale

Experience working in regulated financial environments, and understanding SAMA expectations

Strong UX instincts, analytical capabilities, and a technical mindset

Skilled in leading agile product teams and collaborating cross-functionally

Comfortable in ambiguity, fast-paced environments, and early-stage venture building

What We Offer

Founder equity in a high-potential fintech venture with national and regional impact

Backing from Sanabil Venture Studio - capital, expertise, and ecosystem support from day one

Rare opportunity to build and lead a category-defining company for KSA's next economic chapter

Operational support from a seasoned venture team (Stryber) through the first phases of growth

Access to senior advisors, regulatory support, and follow-on funding to scale your vision quickly
