Talent Partner

Lean is building the next generation of financial infrastructure in the Kingdom and that takes exceptional talent. Today, we’re a team of 140+ people from 30+ nationalities, and our Riyadh office is at the heart of it. In response to our continued growth and new regulatory momentum in Saudi, we’re hiring a Talent Partner to lead end-to-end recruitment across our Commercial and Business functions.

This role is open to Saudi nationals only, in line with our commitment to local hiring and talent development in the Kingdom.

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 Tabby and Tas’heel to Hungerstation - and backed by General Catalyst, Sequoia, and Shorooq. Our $67.5M Series B was just the beginning.
