Associate, Asset Management in London, Ohio at Wahed

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. If you're driven to solve complex problems and believe finance should empower, not exclude, join us in building a more equitable financial future.

Our real estate business extends that mission to property — giving everyday investors access to institutional-quality, income-generating homes. We are growing quickly, we run lean and efficiently, and we are looking for purpose-driven people who want to build something that truly matters.
Job Brief:
We are seeking a flexible, analytical, roll-up-your-sleeves Associate, Asset Management to help steward Wahed's growing real estate portfolio across the United Kingdom, Malaysia, and the United States. Reporting to the Senior Analyst, Asset Management, you will be the hands-on execution engine that helps the Senior Analyst deliver against the team's goals — making sure newly acquired properties are stabilized, protected, performing, and delivering the distributions we have committed to our investors.

The Senior Analyst owns these outcomes; your job is to make them happen on the ground. You will be equally comfortable in a spreadsheet and on the phone with a property manager, will do whatever it takes to get the job done, and will help build the repeatable processes that let a lean team manage a rapidly growing, multi-market portfolio.

As the accountable owner of these outcomes, you will:

Post-Acquisition Stabilization & Operations

• Help drive post-acquisition stabilization of newly acquired properties — ensuring each asset is fully operational from day one, including that insurance is in place and utilities are set up and active.

• Coordinate necessary repairs and capital works so they are completed on time and on budget, and continuously monitor and track ongoing repairs and maintenance across the portfolio.

• Monitor cash balances at each asset to confirm adequate reserves for anticipated repairs, escalating liquidity risks to the Senior Analyst early.

• Work with the Shariah and risk teams to ensure prudent risk management at all times

Property Manager Coordination

• Support the sourcing, onboarding, and monitoring of third-party property managers across the UK, Malaysia, and US.

• Hold managers accountable to performance, reporting, and service standards, and help manage the transition whenever a property manager changes.

Performance, Rent & Tenants

• Help maximize rental yield and asset performance — monitoring rent collection, occupancy, and leasing velocity, and analyzing lease rolls and renewals.

• Evaluate tenant profiles and monitor tenant and lease-level risk across the portfolio.

Financials, Payments & Distributions

• Follow up with property managers and Finance to ensure property-level financials are prepared accurately and on time.

• Track that all payments are made on time (taxes, insurance, utilities, vendor and property-manager invoices), and help ensure investor distributions are calculated and paid exactly as agreed.

Investor Reporting & Cross-Functional Support

• Help prepare quarterly investor communications and reporting for the Senior Analyst's review.

• Partner day-to-day with the Finance team, local country teams, and Investment Management team as an operational bridge, and step into ad hoc problem-solving across regions whenever the portfolio needs it.

Building for Scale

• Contribute to the playbooks, checklists, and AI-enabled workflows that let us run efficiently and absorb rapid growth without adding friction.

Collaboration & Flexibility

Bonus Points

• Experience across multiple international markets; familiarity with insurance placement, utilities setup, and repair/CapEx management; and experience with asset- or property-management software.

Why This Role Matters

As Associate, Asset Management, you are the engine that keeps our promises to investors real — every stabilized asset, every completed repair, and every distribution paid on time runs through your work. You will learn the full asset-management playbook alongside the Senior Analyst while directly contributing to the future of ethical, Shariah-compliant real estate investing.
