Product Manager (Real Estate) at Wahed – Sharjah

Product Manager (Real Estate)

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 systemone 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.

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:

• 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.

• 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
