Role overview

Lean Technologies is seeking a Strategic Finance Intern to join the Financial Planning and Analysis team in Riyadh. As a leading financial infrastructure provider in the Middle East, Lean powers payments, account verification, and financial data access for over 350 major regional companies. In this role, you will contribute to real forecasting, budgeting, and analysis work that directly informs leadership decision-making, rather than isolated training projects.

Key responsibilities

Maintain monthly rolling forecasts by collecting actuals, validating them against established assumptions, and identifying variances for senior review.
Develop scenario analyses from first principles, such as evaluating new market entries or product launches, and present findings to the team.
Transform forecast outputs into concise executive summaries that non-financial leaders can use to inform decisions.
Collect and consolidate budget inputs from business units during the annual budget cycle, ensuring data completeness and timeliness.
Prepare monthly variance analyses against budget with written explanations of the three primary drivers.
Maintain the commercial deals tracker, ensure accuracy through reconciliation with Sales, and flag deals that could impact forecasts.
Contribute to monthly management reports and conduct unit economics or profitability analyses on assigned product lines or customer segments.

Requirements

Be a final-year student or graduate within the last 12 months with a degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, or another quantitative field.
Demonstrate advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets, including the ability to build driver-based models from scratch.
Provide evidence of self-directed analytical work, such as a financial model, investment pitch, case competition submission, or research project.
Write clearly and explain financial movements and their implications in accessible language.
Show genuine interest in payments, open banking, or fintech sectors.
Advantageous skills include prior internship experience in FP&A, corporate finance, banking, consulting, or startup environments; familiarity with SQL or Python; or progress toward CFA or ACCA certification.

What makes this role worth considering

You will work on actual financial models and analyses used by leadership at a company that has processed billions of dollars in transactions and operates as a regulated entity across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The company offers competitive compensation, private healthcare, flexible office arrangements, and meaningful equity participation for all team members to ensure alignment with long-term company success.
