About Elements

Elements is building a foundational platform to automate and connect high-stakes finance workflows. We are in advanced beta, live with early customers, and preparing for a full production launch. The product is already operating in demanding, real-world environments. This is a rare moment to join early with real traction and low execution risk. We are well funded, actively used by multiple customers, and seeing strong inbound demand as we prepare to scale.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Business Operations Specialist to join our growing team. This fully remote role is critical to running our internal operations and ensuring robust financial compliance across the GCC region, with a particular focus on the KSA and UAE markets. As a core operational anchor for our small team, you will blend hands-on administration and HR management with regional tax, Zakat, and corporate compliance frameworks. You will work directly with the leadership team to build the operational backbone that supports our team's daily workflows, corporate governance, and financial excellence.

What You’ll Do

• Manage and execute day-to-day business operations with a heavy focus on regional financial compliance, corporate structuring, and reporting.

• Own internal HR administration, including onboarding processes, regional payroll coordination, team compliance, and local labor law alignment.

• Handle day-to-day corporate administrative tasks, cross-border vendor management, and internal operational tooling to keep our small team running smoothly.

• Oversee corporate tax compliance, VAT filings, and Zakat requirements for entities operating in KSA and the UAE.

• Ensure all operational financial records, workflows, and processes align strictly with IFRS and local regulatory standards.

• Act as the internal domain expert and primary point of contact for regional regulatory bodies, local auditors, and financial institutions.

Who We’re Looking For

• Strong professional background in accounting or finance - ideally holding a CPA, ACCA, CA, or a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant financial discipline.

• Deep hands-on experience navigating the tax and regulatory landscapes of KSA and the UAE, including VAT, corporate tax, and Zakat regulations.

• Solid operational understanding of IFRS standards and statutory financial reporting requirements.

• Practical experience handling core HR administration, internal team support, payroll processing, or general business administration in the GCC region.

• Prior experience in business operations and financial operations within a fast-growing startup environment.

• High-agency ownership mindset with the ability to balance strict financial compliance with daily team administrative needs.

• Exceptional analytical skills, meticulous attention to detail, and strong cross-functional communication capabilities.

Why Join Elements

• Real ownership in a category-defining product.

• Meaningful equity as we scale the team.

• Direct impact on how critical finance systems operate.

• A small, experienced team focused on building the right way.
