For millions of people, its reliance on interest (riba) creates a barrier to managing money and building wealth without compromising their values. At Wahed, we're changing that. We are a global fintech company on a mission to build a new financial system—one that is ethical, accessible, and entirely interest-free. From our offices across the globe, our team is building products that were once deemed impossible, from pioneering Shariah-compliant equity ETFs, creating true riba-free alternatives to high yield savings accounts, to creating no-leverage real estate investments for truly interest-free income producing assets. If you're driven to solve complex problems and believe finance should empower, not exclude, join us in building a more equitable financial future. Job Brief:Wahed Real Estate lets people invest in property together. Instead of buying a whole building, each investor owns a share of it, and the rental income is shared between them. Wahed is a licensed Digital Investment Manager (DIM), as well as a Recognised Market Operator (RMO) by the Securities Commission of Malaysia for Equity Crowdfunding.  This Fractional Real Estate product is the first of its kind in Malaysia, currently operating within the Securities Commission's regulatory sandbox. We already have a proven track record in the UK and the US, and in Malaysia we're pioneering the category. We're looking for a driven, analytical, roll-up-your-sleeves Senior Associate, Property Asset Manager to look after Wahed's growing real estate portfolio in Malaysia. You'll be part of our Global Asset Management function, which oversees properties across the UK, Malaysia and the US.

Day to day, you'll work with the Malaysia real estate team. You'll connect the global strategy to what happens on the ground. You'll be as comfortable in a spreadsheet as on the phone with a property manager, and you'll take ownership of problems before they grow. You'll run with the tools and processes we're building to help a lean team manage a fast-growing, multi-market portfolio.
