About This Role
About WiredScore
WiredScore is a PropTech company on a mission to make the world’s buildings smarter and better connected.
The company assesses and improves digital connectivity and smart technology within real estate around the world.
Founded in 2013, WiredScore has offices in NYC, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Singapore, Hong Kong, India with 1,000 clients (including 8 of the 10 largest landlords in the world), and works with over 4,500 buildings.
In March 2026, WiredScore was acquired by
Meter
, a company that provides internet infrastructure for businesses, deepening our connection to the technology that powers digital connectivity in buildings while maintaining our focus on the WiredScore and SmartScore products and standards.
WiredScore owns and operates two products; the WiredScore certification program, the first and only rating system for mobile and internet connectivity in buildings, which helps landlords assess, improve, benchmark, and promote their buildings, and SmartScore, the smart building certification, which helps landlords understand, improve, and communicate the user functionality and technological foundations of their buildings.
Building on growth across North America and Europe, WiredScore launched in UAE in October 2022 as part of its global expansion plan.
It has since expanded its regional footprint with its launch in the KSA, Qatar, and Egypt.
The business has gathered strong momentum over the past three years, with over 300 buildings now certified or undergoing certification by WiredScore in the MENA region.
