## Job description

## About Flow

Flow's mission is oneness. We believe the spaces people live in shape who they become. Flow exists to create physical living spaces that help people become more connected to themselves, to their neighbors, and to the natural world. Everything we do, from a building's design to a weekly community dinner, is guided by that mission.

The ambition is deliberately enormous: to change how the world lives and to build one of the world's largest companies by doing it. Our business thesis is simple: Brand plus experience creates real estate value.

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Miami, Flow operates across two continents. We have established properties and operations in the US and Saudi Arabia, and recently announced our launch in the UAE with the intention of opening our first property in the market by Q1’2027. Our targets are 100 buildings globally by the end of 2030 and 30,000 units across MENA by 2030.

## Role Overview

- Position: Head of Finance, MENA
- Location: Riyadh, KSA (In-office)
- Reports To: Global CFO (Works daily with MENA Managing Partner, UAE CEO, US Strategic Finance, and Property Accounting)
- Scope: Senior-most regional finance seat responsible for financial strategy, commercial decision support, and building a scalable finance function from its current early stage.

- Finance Function Build-Out: Build and implement the finance function’s policies, processes, controls, and operating infrastructure from the ground up.
- Regional Team Leadership: Lead and manage a team of finance professionals operating across multiple markets.

Operations, Accounting & Controls

- Operating Models & Reporting: Maintain driver-based regional operating models, weekly KPI/cash packs, and community-level P&Ls for General Managers.
- Financial Controls & Accounting: Oversee month-end close (5-day target), GL integrity, budget vs. actual variance analysis, and internal controls (segregation of duties, payment approvals).
- Treasury & Cash Management: Maintain a rolling 13-week cash forecast, oversee regional banking operations (KSA/UAE), and streamline expense systems.
- Tax & Regulatory Compliance: Ensure full adherence to IFRS, SOCPA, and ZATCA regulations (VAT recovery, e-invoicing, Zakat, withholding tax).
- Systems & Team Building: Upgrade early-stage tools (QuickBooks/Sage, Ramp, Sheets/BI) and hire/lead a lean, efficient regional finance team.
