Talent Acquisition Manager

Sanabil Studio · Full-time · Venture Builder · MENA

Building ventures that define tomorrow's economy.

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.

We are seeking a Talent Acquisition Manager to own the full recruitment engine at Sanabil Studio. You will be the driving force behind how we find, attract, and bring on the people who build our ventures, shaping not just who joins, but how the world perceives us as a place to do the best work of their career.

THE ROLE

What you'll own here.

01 — Build and run a recruitment strategy that keeps pace with our hiring roadmap

02 — Manage end-to-end hiring for all roles, from intake all the way to onboarding handoff

03 — Lead proactive sourcing across LinkedIn, referrals, events, universities, and niche communities

04 — Own our employer brand — how we show up, what we say, and how candidates feel about us

05 — Write all recruitment content: job ads, outreach, social posts, and hiring playbooks

06 — Run structured, competency-based interviews and standardize how we evaluate candidates

07 — Train hiring managers on best practices and keep the process consistent across ventures

08 — Manage the ATS, track metrics, and build dashboards leadership actually uses

09 — Advise on compensation bands, market benchmarks, and talent availability

10 — Lead offer negotiations and ensure a clean handoff to HR Ops post-signing

THE PROFILE

You're probably a fit if….

• You've owned full-cycle recruitment before — in a startup or high-growth environment

• You source proactively and don't just wait for applications to come in

• You're as comfortable writing a sharp job ad as you are running a structured intake meeting

• You've worked with an ATS and actually care about data and hiring metrics

• You can manage 10 open roles and 5 stakeholders without things slipping

• You thrive in ambiguity and build process without needing someone to hand it to you

• Bonus: you know the Saudi or MENA talent market, or have built employer brand from scratch

THE ENVIRONMENT

What working here actually looks like.

01 — Real Ownership This isn't a support role. Ideas are welcomed, decisions are yours, and what you build is visible.

02 — Multi-Venture Scope You'll work across multiple active ventures simultaneously, no two weeks look the same.

03 — A Role That Scales With You As the studio grows, so does your scope. We're building for the long game, and we want you to grow into something bigger.

Good work deserves a great deal.

Competitive pay: A package that reflects your experience and the market, not a lowball with "equity upside" as the excuse.

Premium gear, day one: Everything you need to hit the ground running, set up and ready before your first morning.

Mentorship that matters: Individual career development from people who've actually built and scaled ventures.

Venture upside: The chance to join spin-off teams as they grow — not just watch from the sideline.

An accelerated curve: You'll learn more here in 12 months than most roles offer in three years.
