You will have a "can do attitude" and enjoy working in a fast moving collaborative environment. More specifically, we're looking for someone who can demonstrate they have these attributes:

• Theory. You are well versed in financial crime topics. Ideally you have previous work experience to demonstrate it.
• Practice. You have a demonstrable experience of analysing information (preferably related to financial crime). You have at least a Bachelor's degree. You are comfortable articulating and justifying your decisions and making independent judgement calls.
• Passion. You are curious and proactive by nature, you love solving puzzles and you get a kick out of figuring things out and enjoy expressing your thoughts concisely and logically.
• Get the job done. You have a sense of urgency and ability to work well under pressure, prioritising, taking ownership and working with tight deadlines.
• Detail. You have meticulous attention to details, enjoy interpreting data and weighing different aspects (and risks) to make decisions.
• Development. You've considered the challenges and development opportunities of working at a fast growing scale-up and are looking to contribute to Wise's mission. Here's a taster of what it's like working at Wise.
• Location. Budapest. You're located and legally authorised to work in Hungary.
• PS! If you're interested in the position, please apply by submitting your CV and cover letter in English, as this is our working language.

In your cover letter please demonstrate what are your previous experiences related to fighting financial crime. Also, please indicate what you will be bringing to the team. Please note that an application without a cover letter will not be considered!

We're people without borders - without judgement or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background. So if you're passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you'll fit right in.

Also, where and what you studied isn't important to us. If you've got great experience, the right skills for the role and you're great at articulating your thinking, we'd like to hear from you.

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we'd especially love to hear from you if you're from an under-represented demographic.
