Technical Support Lead, Wise

Flexible working

Total funding: $398m

• Stock: At Wise, we’re all invested in our mission. And through our individual roles, we each take ownership of achieving it. That’s why, alongside your salary, we grant Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to all Wisers, so we can all share in our success
• Paid sabbatical: It's a marathon, not a sprint. We know working at Wise is challenging and all our people go above and beyond for our customers. That’s why, after 4 years at Wise, you’ll have the option to take a sabbatical. You’ll get 6 weeks’ paid time off and £1,000 financial support
• Work from anywhere: After your first 6 months, most people can work virtually from (almost) anywhere in the world for up to 90 days a year: Yep, just about anywhere on the planet. This gives you the flexibility to visit your family, or travel and experience living the way many of our customers do. And of course, use our product while you’re at it
• Me Days: You get 3 ‘me days’ per year to help you manage your life. This can be used for whatever you like — perhaps to take the dog to the vet, to pamper yourself, or take your Mum on a day out. It’s completely up to you. Me days are prorated in your first year, based on your start date
• Parental leave: We offer a minimum of 18 weeks (or 4 months in Estonia) of fully paid parental leave for birth or adoption, if a person has been at Wise for 1+ year at the due date or adoption date. This applies regardless of gender, or your partner’s parental leave policies
• Professional development fund: There’s no shortage of growth opportunities at Wise and it’s up to you to choose how you want to develop your skills to get there. That’s why all our employees have a dedicated yearly allowance to boost their professional development
• Flexible working: We know that teams and individuals all have different needs depending on what they need to deliver, as well as their personal circumstances. That’s why we have company-wide principles around flexible working and our teams set their own guidelines too. We expect new joiners to be in the office most days to build connections and learn from colleagues for their first six months
• Creative workplaces: We design our offices to be enjoyable spaces, where everyone can do their best work. Many are dog-friendly, with massage chairs, games areas and more. We encourage cross-team relationship building through weekly or bi-weekly team lunches, snacks and drinks. Plus regular social events and activities that Wisers can get involved in, such as running club, yoga, gaming or pottery
• Mission Days: Mission Days is an opportunity that happens twice a year for many of our Wisers to connect around the globe, come together and foster relationships. From the diverse and inclusive atmosphere to the thoughtfully designed collaboration, you’ll experience the power of networking, cross-team collaboration, and gaining a global perspective that propels Wise’s mission forward
• Compassionate and sick leave: There may be times when you need to care for another, have a family emergency that you weren’t expecting, or a bereavement. We offer 5 paid days of compassionate leave per calendar year. Of course, you may need more than that, and this will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. We also offer 10 days leave on full pay for any Wisers affected by pregnancy loss, ​​including those who are partners or surrogate mothers. Wise offers up to 15 paid sick days each year
• Employee Assistance Program: This free, confidential service is there to support you with anything that’s on your mind. Whether you need mental health support, financial or legal guidance, help with a family issue or how to manage your work-life balance – their experts are on hand to provide you with the help you need. This service is available 24/7 over the phone, online or face to face
• Holiday/Vacation: Wisers in all locations get a minimum of 33 days paid time off per year, including local public holidays, to rest, relax and recharge your batteries
• Employee Referral Scheme: This is an initiative that encourages you to help us find potential new joiners through your own networks. And as a reward, we pay a bonus for all successful hires
• Volunteering day: As a mission-driven and socially responsible organisation, Wise encourages employees to support their community. We offer a day each year for you to volunteer with an organisation of your choice
• Social get togethers: As well as regular team lunches and get togethers in the office, we also have a 'fun budget' of £30 (or local currency equivalent) per Wiser per month to connect with our teams, in person or virtually.
• Annual leave: 25 days paid holiday + UK paid bank holidays per calendar year. This is prorated for those who work part-time and/or started midway through the year
• Maternity leave: Get an extra 8 weeks’ maternity leave on top of the 18 weeks’ global minimum. So that’s 26 weeks total leave at full pay, plus an additional 13 weeks at statutory maternity pay
• Life Insurance: All Wisers get life insurance at 4 times your salary
• Private medical insurance: We provide a private medical coverage plan, where the only cost for you is any excess and the associated tax. You’re also able to cover your partner or family for an additional fee
