Role

Who you are

  • Your verbal and written English skills are excellent, communicating difficult concepts in an easy to understand way comes naturally to you
  • You’re flexible and adaptable, open to working days, evenings and weekend shifts as well as public holidays
  • You're organized. You're methodical in your approach, with a solution-oriented mindset and the ability to multitask. Your lead will help you develop and remove blockers if they can, but they won't stand over your shoulder. Your lead is entrusting you with the autonomy to meet and exceed your performance metrics and also deliver a great customer experience
  • You're cool under pressure. You take charge in challenging situations and you keep your composure if things get tense - a fast-paced, ever-changing environment is where you thrive
  • You’re able to work in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment - you understand that change is needed to both grow and learn but also work more efficiently and you’re ready to start a career in a global company
  • You're a team-player. You're straight up and honest. You're able to own up to your mistakes and you follow through when you say you will. Most importantly - you understand that having a great working culture is everyone's responsibility, so you treat everyone with respect, you always give a helping hand, and you let our values guide you
  • You're growth-oriented. You understand that an open feedback culture is there to help you grow. You crave information and love learning new things. You challenge ideas, not people. You see every challenge as a learning opportunity and you're adaptable, learning new systems and processes quickly
  • You're technically inclined. You're quick behind the keyboard, with a typing speed of at least 35 words-per-minute and you can learn new software and systems quickly - Knowledge of CRM tools (like Zendesk, Twilio, or similar) that support chat, phone, and email channels would be helpful
  • You're ideally someone who has worked in customer support before (preferably in banking or finance), but we're willing to work with the right person, whatever your experience. We're looking for genuine people who work hard and love helping others, so if that sounds like you, tell us why you're a great fit!
  • You've got at least a high school diploma or GED equivalent

What the job involves

  • Your mission is to help customers have an excellent experience with Wise mainly via phone, email, and chats
  • This isn’t your normal call center – we do things differently – and our Business Customer Support Associates are here to help millions more potential customers save money by using Wise!
  • Help customers have the best experience possible with our product by showing empathy and patience and being resilient when needed
  • Support customers by communicating with them via emails, phone calls, and chats
  • Demonstrate flexibility! You’ll be covering a variety of shifts - we work when our customers need us the most including early mornings, day times, afternoons, late evenings, weekends and public holidays as per business demand. PS! We make our schedules in advance so you’ll be able to plan your time accordingly
  • Go above and beyond the call of duty: solve problems working together with other teams
  • Grow through mentoring and working with other teams, developing your skills and figuring out how to have an impact on our customers

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.
