As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money. For everyone, everywhere.

We’re looking for an SEO Lead for the Owned Sites channel – a unique team that buys, builds, and operates websites owned by Wise outside of Exiap, a transparent international money transfer comparison website powered by APIs. In this role, you’ll own the growth and commercial success of the channel. You’ll lead a team of eight, including five Content SEOs, two Technical SEOs, and a developer. Your responsibilities include defining and executing strategy, driving performance, and empowering the team to unlock growth. Owned Sites is like a start-up within Wise. We’re part of the marketing team, focused on acquiring new customers and driving revenue through a portfolio of ~50 bought-and-built sites. We do more than just SEO - we build products that make life easier for future customers.

Your Mission:

• Lead, coach, and mentor the team
• Own and be accountable for the channel’s performance
• Set and execute the team’s strategy
• Manage forecasting, budgeting, hiring, and talent development
• Identify, size, and prioritise new opportunities, including potential website acquisitions
• Work with commercial partners
• Collaborate with other SEO and marketing teams
• Ensure team plans align with business priorities

Qualifications:

• 5+ years experience in Technical SEO
• Strong knowledge of Content SEO
• Experienced in managing and growing teams
• Comfortable building business cases and sizing impact
• Have worked closely with developers

Bonus (Nice to Have):

• Have built, bought, or sold websites professionally or as a side gig
• Experience in affiliate marketing

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. We’re proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences. Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
