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. 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

As a Product Manager (Real Estate) at Wahed, you will be the driving force behind our crowdfunding property investment product within the Wahed app. You will be responsible for the end‑to‑end user experience: from how users discover and invest in properties to the complexities of digital ownership and dividend distribution. This is a high‑impact role involving global launches. You will adapt our real estate offering for different regulatory landscapes while ensuring a seamless, high‑growth experience for our global user base. You will bridge the gap between complex real‑estate operations and a simple, intuitive digital interface.

Job Description

• Scale Real Estate Crowdfunding product: Lead the product strategy for our real estate vertical, focusing on increasing AUM (Assets Under Management) and user retention.
• Global Expansion: Localize and launch real estate products across various geographies, navigating different legal frameworks and investor requirements.
• Optimize the Investor Journey: Enhance the end‑to‑end experience, including property discovery, investment flows, portfolio tracking, and secondary market liquidity.
• Cross‑Functional Leadership: Work closely with the Real Estate Investments team, Legal, Compliance, and Engineering to digitize complex asset‑backed workflows.
• Data‑Driven Iteration: Monitor investment patterns and user behavior to optimize conversion funnels and product‑market fit in new territories.
• Stakeholder Management: Align technical roadmaps with commercial targets, ensuring the product supports both retail demand and asset supply.

Job Specification

• 3–5 years of product management experience in FinTech, banking, or financial services.
• Demonstrated success in shipping customer‑facing B2C products.
• Strong preference for experience in digital banking environments, payments, cards, or user wallets.
• Strong familiarity with Agile product development processes.
• Proficiency in hands‑on data analysis, A/B testing, and metrics‑driven decision‑making.
• Ability to collaborate cross‑functionally, balancing input from engineering, design, compliance, and business stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Startup mentality: hands‑on, execution‑focused, and comfortable with ambiguity.
• Empathy and a customer‑centric mindset, with strong attention to detail.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Driving meaningful financial inclusion, not just shipping features.
• Working with senior stakeholders to shape vision, not “being handed tickets.”
• Building products with real‑world regulatory and customer impact.
• Operating as a true owner in a scaling, mission‑led FinTech.
