Jobs at Wahed (Now Hiring) — 6 open

Primary Focus — SEO Blog Content

• Write SEO-optimized blog articles from pre-built outlines provided by the marketing team, covering topics across investing fundamentals, Halal/Shariah-compliant investing, retirement, market commentary, and product education.

• Translate keyword research and search intent into clear, engaging long-form content (typically 800–2,500 words) that ranks and converts.

• Apply on-page SEO best practices — H-tags, meta titles and descriptions, internal linking, alt text, and structured formatting for featured snippets.

• Maintain a consistent publishing cadence and own multiple drafts in flight, working closely with editors, SEO leads, and Compliance reviewers.

Cross-Channel Copy

Beyond the blog, you'll write copy for (but not limited to):

• Landing pages — product, campaign, and lifecycle pages designed to convert.

• Social media — captions, snippets, and short-form copy across Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube.

• Carousels and static creative — partnering with designers to write narrative-driven multi-frame posts and single-image creative.

• Video scripts — short-form (Reels/Shorts/TikTok) and long-form (YouTube, explainers) scripts with clear hooks, beats, and CTAs.

• Paid ad copy — Meta and Google Ads (search, display, performance max), including headlines, descriptions, and primary text variants for A/B testing.

• Lifecycle and CRM — occasional support on email subject lines, push notifications, and in-app messaging when needed.

Compliance & Brand

• Partner closely with Compliance and Legal to ensure all marketing content meets SEC, FINRA, and internal disclosure requirements before publication.

• Turn around compliance revisions quickly — you understand that in a regulated environment, speed and precision in handling redlines is a core competency, not an afterthought.

• Uphold the Wahed brand voice across every surface, and help refine it as the U.S. business grows.

Required

• 3–5 years of professional copywriting experience, with a meaningful portion at a U.S. fintech, wealth, or financial services company (RIA, broker-dealer, neobank, robo-advisor, brokerage, or similar).

• Hands-on experience writing under SEC / FINRA oversight — you understand what compliant marketing language looks like, what to avoid (performance promises, testimonials misuse, unbalanced claims), and how to revise quickly under a compliance review cycle.

• Strong working knowledge of Islamic / Shariah-compliant investing in the U.S. context — familiarity with concepts such as riba, gharar, halal screening, sukuk, zakat, AAOIFI standards, and the broader Halal investing landscape.

• Demonstrated SEO copywriting chops — you have written blog content that has ranked, and you are comfortable working from briefs that include target keywords, search intent, and competitor analysis.

• Versatility across formats — you can move from a 2,000-word retirement explainer to a 7-word Meta headline without losing voice or quality.

• Excellent self-management — you thrive in a remote, async environment, manage multiple deliverables in parallel, and communicate clearly about timelines and blockers.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with SEO tooling such as Ahrefs, SEMrush, Surfer, Clearscope, or Google Search Console.

• Experience writing for retirement products (IRAs, 401(k)s), self-directed brokerage, or robo-advisory products.

• Direct-response or performance marketing experience with a track record of measurable lift on Meta or Google.

• Comfort with AI-assisted workflows (e.g., using LLMs as a drafting partner) while maintaining originality and brand voice.

• Arabic language familiarity or experience writing for Muslim audiences.

What Success Looks Like

• In your first 30 days: you have shipped your first SEO blog articles from outline, written your first round of Meta and Google ad variants, and built a working relationship with Compliance.

• In your first 90 days: you are operating as the dedicated writer behind the U.S. content engine — consistently publishing on cadence, contributing to landing page and campaign copy, and trusted to turn around compliance revisions quickly and accurately.

• Ongoing: blog traffic, organic rankings, and paid ad performance reflect the quality and consistency of the copy you produce.
