This job is with Wise, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork – the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community. Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. Min fees. Max ease. Full speed. Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.
We are seeking an Intelligence Collections Specialist to play a pivotal role in developing, scaling, and operating our industry-leading Intelligence Collection Framework (ICF). As a foundational member of the newly established Threat Intelligence Unit (TIU), you will be responsible for identifying and mitigating threats before they impact our network.
Your Mission: Fraud and financial crime do not originate at Wise; they are conceptualized, tested, and commercialized within external threat-actor ecosystems long before they target our platform. Your mission is to establish a proactive presence in these spaces. By distinguishing critical intelligence from noise and disinformation, you will refine the ICF into a highly sophisticated instrument. Through OSINT, industry collaboration, and the direct monitoring of adversarial environments, you will convert raw data into actionable intelligence, serving as the primary radar for the TIU and Wise’s representative within the broader industry.
Key Responsibilities
- Framework Operation: Manage and operate the ICF on a continuous basis, filtering out irrelevant data and contextualizing discoveries to deliver high-fidelity, actionable threat intelligence to the TIU and broader Wise business units.
- Strategic Roadmap Ownership: Drive the end-to-end evolution of the collections roadmap, integrating new data sources and expanding capabilities across OSINT, deep/dark web monitoring, and closed social media networks.
- Cross-Functional Enablement: Support the Analytical and Investigative functions of the TIU, alongside various internal teams, by translating intelligence into proactive defense mechanisms against fraud and financial crime.
- Adversarial Monitoring: Monitor threat actors within their native environments—including fraud-as-a-service marketplaces, restricted forums, and encrypted messaging channels—to identify emerging tactics, techniques, and typologies (TTPs).
- Requirements Gathering: Partner with internal stakeholders across Wise to understand their specific threat intelligence requirements and continuously optimize the ICF to meet those needs.
- Industry Representation: Serve as a primary representative for Wise within industry working groups and public-private partnerships, identifying collaborative intelligence-sharing opportunities to combat systemic threats.
