The posting

Sanabil Studio is a venture builder that blends industry expertise, technology, and startup know-how to turn bold ideas into real businesses. We take concepts from zero to launch, and when a venture proves its potential, we back it with seed funding and hands-on support to help it scale.

TradePay is one of those ventures building the trade finance infrastructure for FMCG in Saudi Arabia. Our mission is to replace informal supplier credit with structured, data-driven working capital that helps small merchants grow, protects suppliers from credit risk, and strengthens the FMCG supply chain. We are building a new credit system for underbanked merchants where risk is assessed through real transaction behavior and operational data across suppliers, distributors, and digital marketplaces.

We are looking for a Head of Risk to build and lead TradePay's credit risk governance and portfolio risk management function reporting directly to the Founder.

THE ROLE What you'll own here.

Build and own TradePay's enterprise credit risk framework and governance model

Define and manage risk appetite, portfolio thresholds, and escalation frameworks

Develop and maintain credit, collections, fraud, and operational risk policies

Oversee repayment behavior monitoring, delinquency management, and collections governance

Establish provisioning, write-off, and portfolio monitoring frameworks

Review and approve credit override and exception management processes

Work with Data and Product teams to ensure underwriting models align with risk policies and operational controls

Build governance processes around merchant onboarding, fraud escalation, dispute resolution, and collections

Develop reporting frameworks for management, investors, and future regulatory readiness

Prepare the business for future licensing and regulatory engagement in Saudi Arabia

Support legal and compliance teams in ensuring operational and contractual alignment

Lead future risk committee structures and build and mentor risk operations and collections team members

How Success Will Be Measured Portfolio quality and delinquency rates, provisioning accuracy, governance and policy maturity, regulatory readiness, and the strength of risk frameworks as TradePay scales.

Where This Role Can Go Head of Risk → Chief Risk Officer as TradePay scales and matures into a regulated entity.

THE PROFILE You're probably a fit if…

You have 8+ years of Saudi experience in credit risk, portfolio risk, collections, or enterprise risk management

You've worked in banking, SME lending, fintech lending, microfinance, or regulated financial institutions

You understand Saudi market dynamics and SAMA expectations

You've designed and implemented credit policies and governance frameworks from the ground up

You have a strong grasp of delinquency management, collections, provisioning, and portfolio controls

You've worked with regulators or operated within regulated environments

You're strong on stakeholder management and decision-making, and can operate in fast-moving startup environments while maintaining governance discipline

You communicate clearly in writing and in the room

Bonus: experience in B2B BNPL, supply chain finance, embedded finance, SME or merchant lending, Islamic finance and Sharia-compliant structures, or early-stage fintech environments

THE ENVIRONMENT What working here actually looks like.

-Foundational Ownership You are building the risk foundations of a next-generation fintech platform from scratch. The frameworks you design today will define how TradePay scales tomorrow.

-Direct Impact on the Business Portfolio quality, scalability, and regulatory readiness all sit with you. Your decisions directly shape the long-term health of the business.

- A Role That Grows With You This position has a clear path into Chief Risk Officer as TradePay scales across Saudi Arabia and moves toward a regulated entity structure.

Mentorship that matters: Direct collaboration with the Founder and leadership team from people who've actually built and scaled ventures.
