I am partnering with a successful, fast-growing restaurant group based in Jeddah to find a Finance Director for a pivotal leadership role. This is a unique opportunity to become the #1 finance leader for a well-established, homegrown brand as it enters its next major phase of expansion, backed by a recently secured significant partnership to fuel ambitious growth plans across the region.

The Role:

• Build and lead the complete finance function from the ground up as the most senior finance executive, supporting rapid scaling across the Kingdom and beyond.

• Develop and execute the financial strategy for national and regional expansion, ensuring sustainable profitability and operational efficiency.

• Act as the primary strategic finance partner to the founder and CEO, providing commercial insights and shaping key business decisions.

• Implement robust planning, reporting, and operational finance frameworks to drive transparency, accountability, and performance.

• Professionalize all fiscal, legal, and compliance structures to support the business's evolution into a market-leading enterprise.

What We're Looking For:

• Proven financial leadership experience at a senior level, ideally within multi-site restaurant.

• A track record of driving financial strategy and operational excellence in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

• Must be based in Jeddah or willing to relocate permanently—this role requires deep immersion in the business and local market.

• Arabic speaker is essential—the ability to communicate fluently with the founder, local teams, partners, and regulators is critical.

• Strong expertise in financial planning, management reporting, treasury, and compliance.

• A hands-on, pragmatic leader who thrives in dynamic, founder-led environments and is comfortable building from the ground up as the sole most senior finance figure.

• Big 4 background combined with in-house experience is highly regarded.

The Offer:

• A competitive compensation package, including performance-based incentives tied to growth milestones.

• The chance to architect the financial future of a leading consumer brand at a defining moment in its journey, backed by significant investment and ambitious regional growth plans.
