Venture Architect
Sanabil Studio brings together top-tier talent, experienced founders, and strong capital to help startups reach their full potential. We combine industry insight, technological depth, and startup expertise to generate and validate bold ideas, taking them from concept to MVP launch. When a venture proves its potential, we back it with seed funding and hands-on support to help it scale.
We are looking for a Venture Architect to co-build new companies from scratch, serving as a founding CxO within a venture, owning end-to-end workstreams, and working closely with the venture CEO to turn bold ideas into real businesses.
THE ROLE What you'll own here.
Own specific workstreams end-to-end across the full venture-building lifecycle; from ideation and validation through to building and scaling.
Drive day-to-day venture execution: gather customer insights, test hypotheses, define business cases, build measurement frameworks, and form strategic partnerships.
Collaborate with Product, UX/UI, Growth, and Tech teams on go-to-market strategy, product features, and roadmap development.
Define and track venture OKRs to ensure measurable progress and outcome-driven execution.
Partner closely with the venture CEO to ensure alignment across stakeholders, including C-level executives and General Partners.
Support business development efforts across investor and client engagements.
Contribute to developing intellectual property and thought leadership across emerging business, technology, and design topics.
THE PROFILE You're probably a fit if…
You hold a bachelor’s degree with excellent academic performance from a top university; a Master’s or PhD is a plus.
You have 3+ years of early-stage experience in tech startups, including at least one role as a founder or in a senior position with meaningful achievements.
You have experience at a venture-backed startup, top-tier strategy consulting firm, or venture capital fund; this is required.
You understand lean startup and agile methodologies and can apply them in real operating environments.
You have built business strategies and plans in ambiguous, zero-to-one environments.
You are hands-on, execution-driven, and demonstrate strong entrepreneurial ownership.
You are fluent in both English and Arabic, written and verbal; this is required.
You are a Saudi national or resident and are willing to travel across the GCC and beyond.
Bonus: Background in product management, growth, or design.
THE ENVIRONMENT: What working here actually looks like.
You Are the Founder: Our venture teams are small and independent. You will not be supporting a CxO; you will be acting as one, with full ownership of your workstream from day one.
Multi-Venture, Multi-Market Exposure: You will work across ventures at different stages, with teams and partners spanning the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Fast Cycles, Real Learning: Typical venture cycles run between 3 and 10 months. You will move fast, learn quickly, and build a track record that most roles cannot offer
What You Get From Us
Competitive pay: A package that reflects your experience and the market.
Premium gear, day one: Apple laptop and phone, fully set up before your first day.
Mentorship that matters: Learn from people who have built and scaled ventures.
Global mobility: Opportunities to work across international markets and offices.
Venture upside: The chance to join spin-off teams as they grow and be recognized for what you helped build.
An accelerated curve: You’ll learn more here in 12 months than most roles offer in three years.
