    About the Job


    Lean is seeking a Strategic Finance Analyst to help elevate our financial planning and analysis capabilities as we scale across multiple markets and product lines.

    This role will be focused on delivering robust forecasting, budgeting, and analytical support to enable faster, data-driven decision-making across the business.


    The role is highly hands-on and analytical, suited to a finance professional with strong FP&A fundamentals and a commercial mindset, who thrives in fast-paced environments and is motivated by impact.

    The Moment

    Lean has tripled in size over the past twelve months. We're on track to triple again next year.

    What started as the region's pioneering Open Finance platform is now becoming something bigger:
    a multi-product infrastructure company powering payments, data, and lending across MENA. We're expanding into new markets, opening offices, acquiring businesses, and building capabilities that didn't exist here before.

    We've processed billions of dollars in transactions.

    We're trusted by 350+ clients - from Binance and Careem to Etisalat - and backed by General Catalyst, Sequoia, and Shorooq.

    Our $67.5M Series B was just the beginning.

    What you/'ll Own

    • Revenue Forecasting
    • Support and continuously improve the monthly rolling forecast and financial planning models, including scenario analysis
    • Partner with crossfunctional stakeholders to define and validate driverbased assumptions aligned with current business performance and outlook
    • Synthesize forecast results into clear, executiveready insights and recommendations to support decisionmaking
    • Budgeting
    • Contribute to the annual budgeting process by coordinating inputs from business units, consolidating data, and preparing budget materials
    • Produce variance analysis vs. budget, explaining key movements and underlying drivers
    • Identify key cost drivers and surface cost optimisation opportunities with quantified impact
    • Support the rollout and adoption of FP&A automation solutions, including AIenabled tooling and budgeting/forecasting systems
    • Financial Analysis & Management Reporting
    • Deliver management reporting and decisionsupport analysis for senior leadership
    • Track business and sales performance, identify risks / opportunities, and recommend corrective actions
    • Perform quantitative analysis of operational and financial data, including unit economics, marketing performance, and profitability analysis
    • Lead and support market research initiatives to inform strategic decisions
    • Develop and refine pricing models to improve profitability and commercial decisionmaking
    • Maintain a commercial deals tracker to support revenue forecasting, deal reviews, and approval processes
    • Support adhoc strategic finance, pricing, and commercial initiatives
    • Drive continuous improvement in FP&A processes, reporting, and analytical frameworks
    What we/'re looking for

    • 3+ years of experience with financial modelling, financial planning and analysis roles
    • Corporate Finance experience is advantageous
    • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics or a related field
    • Experience working in a SaaS or fintech environment
    • Strong analytical and problemsolving skills to make sound, logical decisions that optimize outcomes.
    • Ability to simplify complex information and communicate it clearly to senior stakeholders
    • Exposure to a highgrowth or highchange business environment
    • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
    NB.

    While we think the above experience could be important, we're keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role.

    If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply

    Why Join us?

    We're building the financial infrastructure for MENA. Not as a slogan, as a fact.


    Since 2019, we've become the first regulated Open Banking and Open Finance company operating across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

    We've processed billions of dollars. We connect millions of accounts. We enable companies like Binance, Careem, and Etisalat to build products that were previously impossible in this region.

    Our recent $67.5M Series B from General Catalyst and Sequoia isn't just validation: it's fuel.

    We're expanding into new markets, launching new products, and setting the pace for what financial innovation looks like in MENA.

    We solve hard problems. We move fast. We hold ourselves to a high standard. And we're looking for people who've done this before to help us do it right.


    If you're motivated by building something that lasts, not just something that scales, Lean is where you need to be.


    Not only do we offer competitive salaries, private healthcare, and flexible office hours, but we also insist that every member of the team hold a meaningful equity stake in the business to ensure long-term alignment.

    We/'d love you to join us for this journey

    We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.

    We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.

    This may mean transferring your data to members of the team in one of our office locations worldwide outside of the country you are in.
