Job Description
We’re looking for an Implementation Manager to join our fast growing Finance & Treasury Product team in London or in 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 and empower millions more people with instant access to their money.
Your Mission
Wise’s Safeguarding team is responsible for safe custody of £14bn customer funds, across 10+ licensed entities around the globe.
Wise is rapidly expanding globally, creating new products to consumers and businesses, entering new jurisdictions and also offering new products . This is a unique opportunity to lead complex projects integrating new Wise products and markets into Wise’s Safeguarding systems. You will ensure we put the safety of customer funds at the heart of what we do, as Wise continues to scale into new markets and products.
How you’ll contribute to our Mission:
Planning and scoping:
You will be a key point of contact for product teams and compliance stakeholders on safeguarding of new products, features and regional expansions
You will proactively engage with relevant product teams to understand their needs, and navigate prioritisation problems
You will develop an implementation roadmap and lead quarterly planning of safeguarding implementation work, as part of the wider Safeguarding team quarterly planning
Execution and implementation:
You will figure out a plan and work with a team of product managers, engineers, data analysts and operations specialists to integrate all new Wise products, regions and entities into our safeguarding system

You will learn everything you ever wanted to know about payments, banks, regulations and assets not just for one geography - but for the entire world.
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
