  • Provide important insights and sound recommendations for policy changes (local and global), ensuring key stakeholders are continually informed of legislation, law and regulation updates.
  • Develop capability of Leads to independently handle a range of Employee Relations matters, developing management styles to foster positive working relationships with Wisers.

Risk and Compliance

  • Collaborate with Wise compliance and risk teams to ensure Wise is compliant with regulations, governance, and risk management across People team activities.
  • Lead a Compliance and Risk expert, supporting them in delivering operationally while holding the people team accountable for implementing necessary controls.

About you:

  • Employee Relations and partnering expertise in highgrowth environments no matter the challenge, you bring thought leadership and take ownership in dealing with ambiguity and shifting priorities in a scaling, global team.
  • Regional / multisite experience you're experienced in supporting People Partners, Leads and employees split across geographies and timezones, adapting to many different cultures and backgrounds.
  • Datafocussed with your high proficiency in data tools and visualisation, you always start with data, facts and insights to help inform your approach through storytelling to solving problems and analysing needs.

Some extra skills that would be great:

Financial services experience - you possess deeper insight to empower our team further with our commercial strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
