Company mission

We’re on a mission. And it’s money without borders. Instant, convenient, transparent and — eventually — free.

Role

Who you are

  • You have years of experience leading service teams in high value context, in Finance, Private banking, Retail, Tech, Hospitality or other relevant sectors, having demonstrated track record building unique experiences in those settings
  • You have deep operational experience and have worked successfully with senior leaders in Service Operations or Customer Support (at least 5 years), you know what it takes to deliver through large Global teams
  • You have partnered with (or have led) Product and Engineering teams: Track record of working in a product-driven company, in true partnership with Product teams to build the right solutions to the right Support problems
  • You know how to build stuff well and efficiently. You can build a strategy, but you can also get into the weeds to get it done, personally driving and doing stuff, you are involved in the action and frequently roll up your sleeves
  • You are highly analytical & data driven: Able to make sense of reams of data, build analytics models, having used data to figure out and solve complex problems
  • You are able to operate in a highly independent manner, engaging constantly, influencing and aligning with stakeholders in Operations, Product, Engineering, etc but figuring out your way of solving the problems

What the job involves

  • As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money
  • Our Operations teams serve customers in different steps of their lifecycle, from onboarding to providing support when needed, or help fight financial crime and ensure funds movements
  • Within Operations, High Value teams serve those customers that do the highest volumes of business with Wise
  • We are looking for a Senior Lead for our new High Value Segment who can build the very best service model for these customers, and deliver it with the High Value teams
  • Your mission is to design, build, and operate the elements of our service for these customers
  • In other words, you will be responsible for doing anything needed to ensure the segment has world class service
  • The possibilities are almost infinite, and in this role, you will have the opportunity to build a full service model, to lead real change and, ultimately, to make an impact across the global portfolio of High Value customers
  • To deliver, you will have a lot of influence and freedom, but you will not do this alone - to be successful, you will have to work globally with many “partners in crime” in other Functions
  • Therefore, it is critical in this role to be a master at operating transversally, cutting across Product, Customer Support, Fincrime teams, Product, Design, Engineering
  • Solve a truly global challenge - our astonishing growth rate, global customer base and the inherent complexity of moving money makes providing this evel of service to these customers a really complex challenge
  • Be a global leader - as a key part of our Support and KYC leadership team you’ll be helping us improve how we do operations, how we develop our people and how we scale globally
  • Interact constantly at senior leadership levels across Operations, Product and Business

Our take

Wise started when the two founders realised they would be better off trading Estonian kroons for British pounds (and vice versa) between themselves rather than going through banks. That was back in 2011, and they've since grown Wise into one of Europe's most successful tech businesses, exchanging billions of currency every month.

Wise rapidly grew by solving a significant problem for customers, who lost too much money to banks when exchanging currency. They've attracted investment from some of the best investors in the world, from Andreesen Horowitz to Index Ventures and even Richard Branson.

The challenge for Wise will be maintaining their edge and brand power in a market that's becoming increasingly crowded with new entrants (like Revolut and Monzo) and incumbents (traditional banks) trying to catch up. To do so, the company is ramping up its digital and marketing strategies, as well as pushing for further development of its existing products.
