• You will work with internal finance teams, such as Accounting, Tax, Reporting and Financial Planning & Analysis to ensure clean, accurate and compliant financials in all our entities worldwide in a timely manner.
• You'll be responsible for understanding the why and how of the Wise and Finance product so you can communicate the Wise story to anyone. This includes explaining complex technical areas to finance stakeholders and financial concepts to engineers.

A bit about you:

• You create energy and clarity. You have great communication skills that help you bring people together behind a common goal, manage multiple points of view and create clarity and organisation into complex problems and diverse teams.
• You love to get things done. You make things happen instead of wondering why things happened. You are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and take responsibility. We do not hire people just to manage other people. We expect you to deliver results directly.
• You enjoy getting deep into the processing logic. You like to be thorough and understand how things work and all their dependencies in-depth. You don't mind working in the non-customer facing team and bringing clarity to the team over complicated processes.

You have proven experience in the following areas:

• Managing whole product development process from scoping to delivery and post production support for multiple products/projects at the same time
• Being able to independently make sense of complex topics and break them down into smaller, more manageable pieces
• Agile software development methodologies and tools
• SQL and understanding of complex datasets
• Communication with stakeholders of different levels
• Building product roadmaps or managing quarterly plans

Nice to Haves:

• Working with business analytics tools (e.g. Looker)
• Principles of accounting & financials
• Setting up KPI's/OKR's for the team/area
• You are thirsty for knowledge in building multi service high volume financial systems and in understanding reasons for having timely, accurate, compliant and sustainable financials.
• Technical know-how. You may have started out your career as an engineer or maybe it's a secret passion. You need to be able to communicate effectively with our product engineers, accountants and other finance professionals.

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.
