Rooted in our name Almosafer, meaning the traveler, we strive to make every journey seamless, personal, and purposeful. Our diverse platforms and services are built to deliver enriching experiences that reflect the spirit of Saudi Arabia and the wider region.

We're united by a bold vision:

To be the undisputed leader in travel services, fostering lasting connections and setting new benchmarks for excellence in the Kingdom and beyond.

Our team across Saudi Arabia and the wider region blends deep cultural understanding with forward-thinking innovation, shaping a new standard for travel in the region.

About the Role:

The financial analyst will be the architect of our financial planning and the primary lead for the budgeting cycle. This is a critical role to transition FP&A into a strategic hub that supports Almosafer's IPO readiness. You will be responsible for building the 5-year business plan, managing the governance of rolling forecasts, and ensuring our financial modeling is driver-based and investor-ready. This role is about moving beyond data collection to provide the engine room for executive decision-making.

Responsibilities:

Budgeting & Rolling Forecast Governance:

• Budget Execution: Lead our three-phase budget approach (Preparation, Top-Down, and Deep-Dive).
• Model Ownership: Build and maintain a centralized, dynamic three-statement model. You will ensure the budget is fully driver-based and integrated with the Business Plan(s).
• Forecasting Cycles: Manage the official quarterly forecasting processes.
• Governance: Establish clear timelines and templates for Finance Business Partners (FBPs) and document lessons learned to constantly refine the accuracy.

IPO Business Plan & Due Diligence:

• 5-Year Model: Maintain a comprehensive, dynamic IPO-ready business plan. This model must be assumption-driven and capable of running complex sensitivity and scenario analyses.
• Due Diligence Support: Act as the technical lead for IPO due diligence. You will provide accurate, advisor-ready financial data and reconciliations to ensure the business plan is validated by external stakeholders.

Performance Intelligence & Variance Analysis:

• Weekly/Monthly Reviews: Carry out detailed variance analysis (Actuals vs. Budgets/Forecasts). You are expected to look past the numbers to identify the root causes of performance shifts.
• Decision Support: Design a Monthly Performance Intelligence Package. This should integrate P&L, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet data to provide a Macro view of company health alongside operational deep-dives.
• Data Integrity: Support build a centralized financial dataset to serve as the single source of truth for all corporate finance reporting.

Process Improvement & Digitalization:

• Template Enhancement: Formalize the budget process by creating structured templates that allow FBP inputs to flow smoothly into the consolidated output.
• Automation: Lead the digitalization of management reports via Tableau, moving the team toward AI-enabled variance commentary and predictive analytics.

Profile requirements:

• 5–7 years of experience in FP&A or Corporate Finance, with a clear track record in complex financial modeling.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting. Professional certifications (CFA, CMA, or CPA) are highly preferred.
• Technical Expert: Excel and ability to build integrated 3-statement models. Experience with Tableau and ERP systems (like SAP) is essential.
• Strategic Partner: You are comfortable pushing back on assumptions and can align with Finance Business Partners to ensure budget inputs are realistic.
• High-Pressure Performer: You can handle the strict timelines whilst maintaining high reporting accuracy.
• Communicator: You can distill complex financial bridges (price/mix/volume) into clear insights for the executive team.
