Company mission

We’re on a mission. And it’s money without borders. Instant, convenient, transparent and — eventually — free.

Role

Who you are

  • You’re an accomplished content design leader with several years experience leading teams to ship world-class consumer products
  • You’re a trusted partner, building effective relationships with your peers across the business
  • You’re comfortable navigating complexity and ambiguity — and can successfully lead groups in this environment
  • You have an eye for quality, and know how to support designers and teams to deliver it
  • You’re influential and inspiring, able to lead others in a culture that values autonomy and empowerment
  • You’re highly empathetic, both to customers and the people you work with

What the job involves

  • You’ll be leading designers of all crafts, working across the cross-functional teams that make up Account — a squad that helps millions of people manage their international money all in one place
  • Collaborating with your design, product and engineering partners to lead the squad, set the vision and strategy, and coach teams to deliver it
  • Working on the highest impact projects in the squad, and setting the direction for upcoming work
  • Planning and prioritising the work and hiring and onboarding new designers as needed
  • Working with design leaders from other squads to build a single, seamless experience for customers
  • Using your design leadership skills to up-level quality, maturity and alignment across the Account squad
  • Support and grow a talented design team
  • Guide teams to deliver impact and ship work you’re proud of
  • Be hands on, leading through the work and setting the bar
  • Elevate product and design quality — you define what good looks like in the squad, then help them deliver it
  • Be part of a positive change in the world. We’re fixing a broken, greedy system, and putting people and businesses in control of their money

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.
