Nazhir play significant role in the waqf asset management. Their job is quite challenging since they should keep the trustworthiness of the waqif. On the other hand, managing the asset of waqf is a complex job. This reality leads to the idea that the waqf asset management should not merely rely on trust, but also on the capability of the nazhir. Thus, nazhir waqf should master a set of competency so that they could carry out their job well. Following this notion, study on what kind of competency should be owned by nazhir waqf is lacking. Therefore, the current study attempted to address such an issue. Using qualitative methods, literatures and documents related to the topic were adopted to analyze the contents found. As the result, four main competencies of nazhir waqf are proposed, namely compliance, entrepreneurship, economic and interpersonal (CEEI). As the implications, the CEEI could be used by waqf institutions as the basis of recruitment and selection, as well as nazhir performance management. Furthermore, the proposed competency profile is expected to contribute to the body of knowledge of human resource management in waqf institutions. Eventually, as a conceptual paper in nature, it needs further studies to validate the concept
