Company Description

Wise is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe and we’re on a mission: to make money without borders the new normal. We’ve got 13 million customers across the globe and we’re growing. Fast.

Current banking systems don't let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply. 

So, we’re building a new one.

Job Description

We’re looking for a lead to join our growing Finance Implementation Team in London or Tallinn. This role is a unique opportunity to have an impact on Wise’s mission by ensuring we build smart and scalable internal financial systems, grow as a product leader and empower millions more people with instant, borderless money.

Your mission

You’ll ensure that the finance impacts of Wise’s product expansion are considered, built/recorded, controlled, reported and explained in an efficient, timely and accurate way.

How you’ll contribute to our Finance Product Team

You’ll build an understanding of how new and existing products translate into compliant financials & lead the team to integrate product changes into finance ledger (Product changes such as new regions & new currency launches, new products, new features etc.) This involves working with product managers, engineers, analysts and other finance stakeholders

You’ll share knowledge on finance requirements and collaborate with product teams to reduce current risks and gaps impacting financials

You’ll lead retros on large finance implementations or failures and ensure learnings are used to improve future expansions

You’ll own and track the quarterly plans and prioritizations for the team, set team KPIs, facilitate and build efficient processes for the team to cover all areas of implementation - building finance ledger, controls, explaining insights and reporting

You’ll be responsible for hiring, developing, and supporting our finance implementation team of five implementation managers

You’ll bring external ideas, best practices through leadership into your work and future plans

This role will give you the opportunity to

Choose your path to impact – we believe people are most empowered when they can act autonomously. So rather than telling you what to do, you’ll work with your team to create a vision of your own. Of course, you can always gather feedback from smart, curious people across Wise but you’ll have the freedom to make your own calls

Grow as a leader – Grow and inspire your team to join our mission

Get amazing exposure to the full breadth and depth of our internal product finance systems while working with a group of amazing and dedicated implementation managers, engineers, analysts, and operations. 

Work with a modern microservices system with key parts written in-house, which allows to move fast and build controls and experiences that are above industry standards and push the boundaries of what is possible

Be part of our mission to make money without borders the new normal

Qualifications

Excellent and consistent ability to create clarity with stakeholders

You’re hands on when it comes to product implementation and delivering features and building roadmaps. You’d do everything needed to make the team and the product successful. You get it done

Required to influence without authority with stakeholders to ensure that function objectives and KPIs are met 

You have experience in finance systems and familiarity with the core principles of finance

You are a seasoned lead with experience of managing end-to-end implementation lifecycles from scoping to delivery and post production support. You have delivered ambitious, impactful customer / non-customer facing products before in data-driven environments
