Lean is scaling fast, with 130+ employees across our markets, and our People function is evolving to match that growth. We’re hiring a senior People Partner to take ownership of areas such as org design, manager enablement, and performance management, and ensure our leadership and teams are set up to thrive as we grow.
You’ll partner directly with cross-functional department heads, support high-quality decision-making around team structure and talent, and lead the development of frameworks that drive performance, clarity, and culture. Based in Dubai or Riyadh, this role is also critical in providing senior HR presence in our largest offices and most complex teams.
You’ll be joining a small, lean team: this is not a layered HR function. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, and your ability to build trust, influence decisions, and operate with autonomy will be essential to success.
The MomentLean 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.
