wahed.com - Associate, Asset Management
Requirements
• 2–4+ years of experience in real estate asset management, property management, real estate finance, or a related operational role. • Strong financial acumen — comfortable with property-level P&Ls, budgets, variance analysis, cash flow, reserves, and investor distributions. • Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills, with the ability to turn data into clear decisions and reporting. • Genuinely quantitative, thoughtful, and productive on your own merits — able to reason through analysis and produce high-quality work without relying on AI, and following good etiquette by validating and owning outputs rather than simply pasting AI-generated results. • Comfortable using AI to work faster and smarter; we actively encourage AI-enabled workflows to stay lean and efficient. • A genuine “whatever it takes” mindset — comfortable chasing property managers, vendors, and internal teams until the job is done — and comfortable with ambiguity, change, and rapid growth. • Collaboration & Flexibility • Exceptional organization, follow-through, and attention to detail, with the ability to manage many properties and deliverables across regions and deadlines at once. • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to hold third parties accountable and produce investor-ready updates. • Flexibility to work across UK, Malaysia, and US time zones as a remote team member. • Knowledge of, or a genuine passion for, ethical, values-based, Shariah-compliant investing. • Experience across multiple international markets; familiarity with insurance placement, utilities setup, and repair/CapEx management; and experience with asset- or property-management software.
Responsibilities
• As the accountable owner of these outcomes, you will: • 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. • ## Job Specification:
