Full Job Description
## 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: Wahed is seeking a highly capable Finance Director to lead and strengthen our global finance function as we continue to scale as a pioneer in ethical, Shariah-compliant financial services. This is a strategic finance leadership role for someone who can operate beyond traditional accounting and reporting. The ideal candidate will bring strong financial control, planning, treasury, audit, tax, and governance experience, while partnering closely with the executive team and Board to support sound decision-making, financial discipline, and sustainable growth. As Finance Director, you will be responsible for ensuring Wahed’s financial infrastructure is accurate, scalable, compliant, and insight-driven. You will oversee end-to-end finance operations, strengthen controls, manage forecasting and cash flow visibility, and help build a finance function that supports Wahed’s mission to reduce financial inequality and expand access to values-based investing globally. ## Job Description Financial Leadership & Strategic Planning Lead Wahed’s finance function, ensuring financial reporting, forecasting, planning, and control proc
