Strategic Finance & Investment Banking Manager

About Thndr Thndr is Egypt's leading digital retail investment platform and the country's first investment supermarket. We were ranked the number one fastest growing company in Africa in the 2026 Statista and Financial Times ranking, the first Egyptian company to top the list, and we're the number one brokerage in Egypt, with close to 6 million downloads and more than US$1 billion in customer assets.
We were admitted as the first ever remote trading member of the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, have received in-principle approval from the Saudi Capital Market Authority, and are backed by some of the most prominent global and regional venture capital investors. About The Role We're building a Finance function capable of supporting Egypt's Home for Deposits and the MENA region's Home for Active Trading.
You'll help build our FP&A capability from the ground up: the group model, the budget and reforecast cycle, monthly performance reporting, and the unit economics the leadership team runs the business on. Alongside that sits Strategic Finance — being the finance partner on decisions. Pricing and revenue model design, new product and market business cases, partnership economics, capital allocation, and corporate development.
Wherever a decision hinges on a number nobody has built yet, that's your work. You'll also own investor and board reporting and support our fundraising, which means the numbers you build don't just inform internal decisions — they're what our investors and board see. You'll also play a key supporting role in building our Investment Banking 2.0. Egypt's productive economy is far larger than its investable economy, and a great deal of real economic activity has no route to public or retail capital.
We're building the capability to change that: originating retail-first investment products, and advising the businesses traditional capital markets underserve, including startups and SMEs. Think of it as investment banking pointed at underserved segments. You'll be part of building that from scratch — structuring, modelling, underwriting analysis and advisory work. You'll report to the Group Head of Finance and the Head of Investment Banking, and work directly with the founders, the board and our investors.
Both functions are being built from the ground up, and you'll be central to getting them there.
