Job description

About Wahed:

The global financial system wasn't built for everyone. 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.

• Strong hands‑on content creation and copywriting skills, with the ability to brief or create visual and video content.
• Experience managing paid media budgets, agencies, influencers, vendors and external partners.
