Your Mission

As a financial institution moving billions of GBP of customer money in more than 70 countries, Wise must have bulletproof financials.

You will proactively engage with relevant product teams to understand their needs, and navigate prioritisation problems to ensure impact to Finance are minimised. You will develop an Implementation roadmap and lead quarterly planning of Finance Implementation work, as part of the wider team quarterly planning.
• Execution and implementation: You will figure out a plan and work with a team of product managers, engineers, data analysts and operations specialists to integrate all new Wise products, regions and entities into our finance system.

You will learn everything you ever wanted to know about payments, banks, regulations and assets not just for one geography - but for the entire world.
• Choose your path to impact – we believe people are most empowered when they can act autonomously. So rather than telling you what to do, you’ll work with your team to create a vision of your own. Of course, you can always gather feedback from smart, curious people across Wise but you’ll have the freedom to make your own calls.
• Work in a world-class international Finance & Treasury Team, learn a lot about fintech, finance and treasury, while also building a high-volume, real time finance system.
