Saudi ArabiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Finance Manager with 9 years of progressive experience across oil & gas and diversified industrial environments, delivering measurable results like 20% working capital improvement and DSO reduction from 270+ to 30–60 days. I lead budgeting, forecasting, and project financial control for operations exceeding USD 150M, while strengthening controls, managing risk, and driving sustainable performance.
In my current role, I lead finance for an annual operating budget exceeding USD 150M and develop a finance team of 4 professionals through budgeting, forecasting, and financial control. I also conduct pre-execution financial assessment of a USD 50M customer PO, and support operational leadership with financial insights, scenario analysis, and performance tracking across projects.
Earlier, I built strong tax and collections capability across shared services environments, leading direct & indirect tax governance (VAT, Zakat, WHT) and integrating tax considerations into pricing and contract structuring. As an Accounts Receivable Supervisor, I supervised an AR team of 7, improved recovery performance by ~80%, implemented ECL methodologies to strengthen credit risk assessment and provisioning, and ensured compliant, accurate IFRS reporting through robust close processes.
