Product Manager (Country Expansion)

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. About the Role: The Product Manager for Country Expansion will spearhead Wahed's strategic entry into new international markets. This pivotal role requires a sophisticated balance of cross-border product strategy, complex stakeholder orchestration, and a rigorous commitment to a premium B2C user experience. You will be responsible for the end-to-end localization of our core Robo-advisory offering, ensuring technical scalability and regulatory alignment in every new geography. Job Description: Define and execute the product roadmap for international launches, transitioning from initial feasibility studies to post-launch optimization and AUM growth. Identify and integrate essential local infrastructure, including Tier-1 KYC providers, diversified payment rails, custodians, and brokerage entities. Collaborate with Legal and Compliance functions to architect product workflows that satisfy local Shariah and financial regulations without compromising the global core architecture. Own the localized B2C investor journey, ensuring that risk profiling, account funding, and portfolio management are intuitive and culturally resonant. Serve as the central nexus between Engineering, Operations, and local Business Development teams to ensure synchronized delivery against commercial targets. Manage technical nuances such as local tax reporting, currency fluctuations, and indigenous payment behaviors (e.g., Open Banking protocols or regional real-time payment systems). Job Specifications: 4–7 years of Product Management experience within a high-growth FinTech environment (WealthTech, Digital Banking, or Payments). A demonstrable track record of successfully launching complex financial products across multiple international jurisdictions. Deep understanding of API-driven architectures, ledger systems, and the mechanics of trade settlement and custody. Exceptional communication skills with the ability to negotiate with external vendors and align internal executive stakeholders. A sophisticated understanding of user psychology and a commitment to reducing friction in high-intent financial workflows. Proficiency in leveraging data analytics to optimize conversion funnels and product-market fit during the expansion phase. Why This Role Stands Out This position offers the opportunity to act as a primary architect of Wahed's global footprint. You will not merely be managing features; you will be establishing the financial infrastructure that enables ethical, interest-free investing for a global demographic.
