Financial Analyst

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: As a Financial Analyst (FP&A) at Wahed, you will be the analytical engine powering strategic decision-making across the business. You will work directly with the Finance Director and cross-functional leaders to translate data into financial insight, build dynamic forecasting models, and strengthen the financial foundations of a rapidly scaling, values-driven fintech.   This role combines financial analysis expertise with automation and data intelligence to streamline workflows, strengthen decision-making, and improve operational scalability.
