Private Clients Service Associate

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, to true riba-free alternatives to high-yield savings accounts, to no-leverage, income-producing real estate investments. If you’re driven to help people and believe finance should empower, not exclude, join us in building a more equitable financial future. Job Brief: Wahed is looking for an Arabic-speaking Private Clients Service Associate to join our International team and deliver an outstanding experience to our clients.
