Your mission as a lead is to grow a team of analysts, who would help enable our financial crime prevention teams (Fraud, AML, KYC or Verification) to scale globally and help drop our costs. You’ll also work extensively with our Operations leadership team, to help them as they manage, improve and scale our operations.

- You’ll identify opportunities how to use our data and machine learning , in order to automate and optimise our processes and solutions
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 – Build your team and inspire them to contribute to our mission

- You’re highly proficient with SQL, able to write structured and sustainable code and continue to develop and refine this skillset
- You have experience structuring basic research experiments (A/B testing)
- You can take complex, fuzzy problems and boil them down into concise and actionable insights
Nice to haves:
- Experience working in KYC/Fraud prevention domains is a plus
- You’re proficient with Python, able to automate complex processes and construct robust data pipelines.
- Flexible working – whether it’s working from home, school plays or life admin we get that flexibility is essential and you’re trusted to do the right thing and be responsible
- A fun work environment with social activities and events
- The opportunity to work with super smart, curious people

How we work
At Wise, we work differently and we’re proud of it. Here you’ll have bucket loads of freedom, responsibility and autonomy. In practise, this means working in autonomous teams. Working this way helps us move at speed and achieve our mission faster.
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. We’ve come a long way, but we’re only just getting started.
At Wise, all our employees have a share in our mission and the responsibility to make our product a success. Our team’s priority is to ensure our compensation packages are competitive, fair and transparent. Stock is one of the ways we share the value of our growth and is a key part of our compensation package. But how does stock work? Find out
