Finance Manager - Performance Insights in London

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world's money. As a financial technology company moving billions of USD of customer money across 70+ countries, Wise is growing fast — and so is our ambition.

For us to continue to offer the best products to our customers and scale, we need both sharper insight on the world around us and rigorous, forward-looking visibility into our own performance. We're looking for a Finance Manager to join our Performance Insights team within FP&A, reporting into the Senior Finance Manager.

This is a hybrid role, split roughly 50:50 between core reporting and forecasting for the Wise Group and external strategic insight. You'll help shape both the narrative we tell about Wise's financial performance internally, and the analytical foundation that helps us understand our place in the market.

Your mission:

• Core Reporting & Forecasting (~50%)
  • Support the rolling forecast process (FP&A) — contribute to the group forecasts, ensuring accuracy and alignment with our strategic objectives.
  • Contribute to the long-range financial plan — support the 5-year forecast process, helping to identify opportunities for improvement and refinement.
  • Play a key role in the Monthly Finance Review (MFR) — prepare materials and provide insightful analysis on financial performance for senior stakeholders.
  • Support Finance Transformation & Strategic Projects — contribute to cross-functional initiatives impacting forecasts, including process redesign and the implementation of new planning tools or methodologies.
  • Craft insightful materials for the Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors, clearly communicating our financial outlook and growth strategy.
• External Strategic Insight (~50%)
  • Produce regular competitor benchmarking reporting — build and maintain a rigorous, repeatable view of how Wise performs relative to its key Fintech peers across financial and operational metrics.
  • Collaborate on our internal and competitor valuation models — develop and maintain sophisticated valuation models for Wise and our competitors, keeping them current and decision-ready.
  • Drive market sizing and share insight — maintain and evolve our view of the total addressable market across key cross-currency corridors, working closely with our external data partners.
  • Support Board Strategy papers — provide the insight, analysis and recommendations that help our most senior leaders make well-informed strategic decisions.
  • Partner with the Investor Relations team — providing data, competitor context, and benchmarking support for quarterly Trading Updates and external analyst presentations.
  • Conduct ad hoc analysis and deep dives — respond to requests from the Leadership Team with rigorous, well-structured analysis that cuts through complexity.

You're analytically sharp, commercially curious, and you know how to turn complex data into a clear story. You're comfortable working with senior stakeholders and you don't get lost in the weeds — you know what matters and you focus your energy there.

Experience & background:

• You have at least 5 years of experience in a relevant field — strategic FP&A, corporate finance or investment banking would all be ideal.
• You're highly proficient in complex financial modelling — this is non-negotiable.
• You have experience contributing to forecasting and/or planning cycles, including continuous improvement of processes.
• You have experience with competitor benchmarking and market analysis, ideally in a fast-moving, multinational environment.
• A relevant professional qualification (e.g. CFA, CIMA, ACA, ACCA) is preferred.

Skills:

• Strong prioritisation instincts — you know the difference between what's important and what's just noise.
• Excellent communication skills — you'll be working directly with Senior Finance Directors and VPs.
• Ability to express complex concepts simply.
• Strong stakeholder management — you can bring people on the journey and influence without authority.

Bonus points if you have:

• SQL and/or BI tool experience (e.g. Anaplan, Tableau, Power BI).
• Experience in leveraging AI tools for financial analysis.
• Experience working with external data providers or market intelligence platforms.
• Company valuation experience (DCF, comparable company analysis, etc.).
• Worked in or alongside an Investor Relations function.
• Experience in a high-growth tech or financial services environment.

Salary: 68,000-90,000
