Role Overview
- Sanabil Studio is Sanabil's in house venture studio, building and backing the next generation of category defining companies in Saudi Arabia.

What you'll own here
- Lead Graphics, Photography, Motion & Video, and the Full In Space Image as one integrated creative function.
- Support visual work across both sides of the house: Studio ventures and the early stage community.
- Build and maintain a working design system: typography, color, grid, components, motion principles, and bilingual (Arabic/Latin) standards.
- Design event creative end to end: invites, posters, signage, name badges, programs, social posts, and recap content.
- Cover community events with photography and turn around edited sets in a timely way.
- Build and maintain a founder portrait library and an environmental photography library of the space itself.
- Produce short form vertical video for LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok, plus event aftermovies and long form content for major moments.
- Direct on the day shooting: rig setup, lighting, making founders comfortable on camera.
- Own the in space experience: signage, wayfinding, event installations, seasonal moments, and founder welcome kits.
- Brief and manage external printers, fabricators, AV vendors, and contractors.
- Build templated assets in Figma and Canva libraries so internal teams can self serve without breaking the brand.
- Jump into Studio venture briefs when needed, supporting brand pushes, launch moments, and decks for newly built companies.
The Profile
- 3–5 years as a designer who works across at least three of: graphics, motion, video, and photography.
- Portfolio that shows real range: print, digital, motion, and ideally environmental or spatial work.
- Fluent in the modern stack: Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere, After Effects, and Lightroom.
- Comfortable on a real shoot: knows lighting basics and has shot real people in real environments.
- Can take a brief, pitch a creative direction, and execute end to end without needing a producer or a studio behind you.
- Strong taste and clear opinions about quality, but easy to work with under deadline.
- Bilingual design sensibility and can hold the bar equally in Arabic and Latin scripts.
- Fluent in Arabic and English and comfortable briefing vendors, directing on set, and presenting work to leadership.
- Bonus: Experience designing for early stage, venture, or premium consumer brands; chops in 3D, exhibition design, or long form video; a side practice that keeps you sharp.
The Environment
- Creative Ownership: This is not an execution only role. You are the art director, the photographer, the editor, and the brand guardian.
- Quality Without Compromise: You will have the mandate and support to hold the standard.
- Early Stage, Real Scale: The system you build now will define how Sanabil shows up visually for the next decade.
What You Get From Us
- Competitive pay: A package that reflects your seniority and the market.
- Meaningful upside: Long term incentives tied to the value you help create across the ecosystem.
- Premium gear, day one: Full creative stack, workstation, camera, lenses, audio, lighting — set up before your first day.
