• Regulatory Compliance: Own the relationship with regulators (e.g. SAMA), ensuring full compliance and proactive regulatory alignment.
• Portfolio Oversight: Monitor loan performance, define risk appetite, and implement early warning systems for credit deterioration.
• Operational Risk: Build systems and processes to mitigate operational, fraud, and reputational risks.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with cofounders and product/tech/data teams to embed risk controls seamlessly into the product experience.
• Strategic Risk Leadership: Align risk practices with capital efficiency, unit economics, and growth objectives.
• Reporting & Governance: Build and lead governance processes; regularly report on risk KPIs and strategy to investors and board.

• Experience: 10+ years in senior risk roles within fintech or financial services, ideally with experience in consumer or SME lending.
• Cofounder Mentality: Entrepreneurial spirit with a willingness to take ownership, get hands dirty, and grow something from zero.
• Proven Track Record: Demonstrated success in launching or scaling risk functions, especially in lending or credit-focused environments.
• Technical Depth: Proficiency in credit modeling, scoring, portfolio monitoring, and risk technology.
• Regulatory Acumen: Strong understanding of Saudi Arabian financial regulations and compliance requirements.
