Who we are
At Namaa, we build and operate tech-enabled urban infrastructure that gives consumers fast, reliable access to meals, groceries, and everyday essentials.
Traditional retail models, built around brick-and-mortar locations, often struggle to compete in today’s digital-first landscape. Challenges such as cost efficiency per square foot, logistics-optimized locations, and seamless technology integration have made it clear that a new approach is needed.
We believe the future of foodservice and commerce lies in purpose-built infrastructure designed for speed, accuracy, and scalability. That’s why Namaa was established—to power the next generation of digital food and quick commerce ecosystems across the Middle East.
Our ecosystem is driven by a portfolio of specialized business units, including KitchenPark, CloudRetail, and Profood Properties, each playing a key role in enabling brands to grow and thrive in an increasingly on-demand world.
What you’ll do
- Own the technical accounting agenda, including drafting and maintaining global accounting policies, memos, and guidance notes.
- Provide technical IFRS advice on transactions (M&A, restructurings, new contracts, debt/equity issuances, joint ventures, etc.).
- Partner with auditors, legal, tax, FP&A, and senior leadership to resolve complex accounting matters.
- Lead and manage projects related to new IFRS implementations, system changes, or reporting enhancements.
- Keep business stakeholders informed of emerging accounting standards, local GCC regulations, and industry best practices.
- Represent the company in discussions with external auditors and, where relevant, contribute to comment letters or industry forums.
What we’re looking for
- 7–10 years of relevant experience, with at least 5 years in technical accounting or financial reporting.
- Strong exposure to IFRS standards (IFRS 9, 15, 16, 3, 10).
- Experience drafting technical accounting memos, policies, and position papers.
- A background in Big 4 accounting/advisory (Audit, Accounting Advisory Services, or Transaction Accounting) is strongly preferred.
- A professional qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CPA (or equivalent).
- Ability to work independently, perform in-depth technical research, and communicate complex issues to non-finance stakeholders.
- Experience managing regional or multi-jurisdictional entities in the GCC is a strong plus
Why join us
- Demand for online food delivery is growing really fast! In the last 5 years, just in the US, the overall market has expanded 10X from $10B to $100B, and could expand to $500bn- $1T by 2030.
- Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery.
