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.

As a Product Lead for Business Payments, you will be solving for how businesses prepare and send payments through Wise. Your objective is to make any kind of payment easy at any scale - with special focus on accounts payable and payroll. This is a high-impact, multi-team leadership role across one of Wise Business's most important customer journeys.

What you will do:

  • Define the vision: Create and communicate a long-term strategy for multiple teams, making clear choices about where Wise should own the workflow, where we should integrate and which customer problems matter most.
  • Own measurable outcomes: Set the measures that show customers are succeeding - from setup effort and payment accuracy to on-time delivery, exception resolution and successful reconciliation - and hold teams accountable for moving them.
  • Shape exceptional UX at scale: Make complex financial operations feel simple for a small business while remaining fast, flexible and powerful for experienced finance teams.
  • Make strategic choices: Use customer insight, data, economics and technical judgement to validate opportunities before committing significant investment.
  • Lead through others: Coach and develop Product Managers, build healthy and ambitious teams, and raise the bar for product craft and delivery quality across the group.
  • Stay close to execution: Move between strategy and detail, stepping in where your judgement or hands-on contribution can unblock a critical initiative, improve quality or accelerate learning.
  • Work across Wise: Create alignment across product, engineering, design, analytics, operations, risk, compliance, finance and commercial partners around difficult trade-offs and shared outcomes.

What We're Looking For:

  • Strategic Depth: You have set and delivered a long-term product strategy across a complex domain, turning ambiguity into a clear point of view, explicit choices, sequenced bets and measurable results.
  • Product Management Excellence: You set a high bar for customer discovery, product craft, UX, prioritisation and execution—and raise it in others.
  • Business Payments or Payroll Expertise: Ideally, you bring strong experience in business payments, accounts payable, payroll, accounting workflows or adjacent B2B financial software.
  • Data and Commercial Judgement: You use customer insight, data, economics and technical judgement to size opportunities, define leading measures of success and make responsible investment choices.
  • Hands-on Leadership and Influence: You move fluently between long-term strategy and product or system detail, stepping in to unblock critical work and challenge assumptions.

Additional Information:

  • Base salary: 120-155K (based on experience & interview outcomes)
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) & a variety of other benefits: Wise Benefits

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.
