We've recently moved our primary listing from the LSE to Nasdaq, and as we scale globally we're investing significantly in the technical foundations of our finance systems — with SOX readiness as one of the critical drivers. Beyond audit and compliance, we see this as a chance to redefine what finance tooling looks like in the AI era. You'll lead the engineering team behind Wise's Finance Systems estate — the platforms our Group Finance org runs the company financial operations on. This is a transformation role–over the next 2–3 years you'll partner with the Product and CFO org to modernise our ERP and surrounding finance tooling, stand up the engineering foundations for SOX as a newly US-listed company, and shape what AI-native finance operations look like at Wise. ### What you'll be owning Technical strategy for Finance Systems. Set the architecture and multi-year roadmap for our ERP and surrounding finance platforms. The team. Lead, hire, and grow a senior engineering team. Set the bar for engineering quality in a domain where correctness, auditability, and resilience is non-negotiable. SOX engineering foundations. Build the tooling, controls, and change-management practices that make SOX compliance a property of how we Engineer. Operational maturity. Drive deployment frequency, observability, incident response, and change control to a standard appropriate for systems the CFO signs off on. Co-own the roadmap with Finance and Product. Translate Group Finance's priorities — (e.g. close acceleration, intercompany, AP/AR, statutory reporting, others) — into a credible engineering plan. Automation and AI. Drive efficiencies through AI-assisted finance operational tooling by deciding where automation pays off, where it doesn't, and helping us make the right tooling choice & integrations. ## Qualifications What do you need?: 12+ years in software engineering, including 5+ years leading engineering teams in finance, fintech, or other regulated/audited domains. Deep experience with Tier 1 ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Workday Financials, or NetSuite at enterprise scale) — including at least one migration, consolidation, or major modernisation programme you led the engineering side of. SOX or equivalent control-environment experience. You've built — not just complied with — engineering practices that hold up to external audit. Architectural range. Comfortable across vendor configuration, custom extensions, integration middleware, and event-driven patterns. You know when to buy, when to build, and when to wrap. Stakeholder fluency at the CFO level. You can partner transparently with Finance Business Process leads, explain complex trade-offs, and successfully achieve organisational alignment. A pragmatic transformation instinct. You ship in increments, but you don't lose sight of the destination. Nice to have First-hand experience taking a company through SOX readiness post-listing. Fintech, payments, or banking background. Public POV on AI in the finance back-office — what works, what's hype. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 16, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 18, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 2 days - Location: London, United Kingdom - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Wise’s careers site →](https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/Wise/744000155937924-senior-engineering-lead-group-finance-systems) ## More jobs at Wise ### [ALM Treasury Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/wise/jobs/b034cbca0b71153bacd1/) London, United Kingdom ### [Cash Controller](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/wise/jobs/9dc33270877eb1d512ae/) London, United Kingdom ### [Enterprise Pricing Manager (EMEA)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/wise/jobs/d09f6a08365046d93f42/) London, United Kingdom ### [External Reporting Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/wise/jobs/1a685b60a0286101bc96/) London, United Kingdom ### [Finance Business Partner - Servicing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/wise/jobs/f35e100b8ee300dbc3a0/) London, United Kingdom ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Associate / Assistant Vice President, Group Product Control - Treasury Systems Accounting, Group Finance](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/dbs/jobs/05953d90922a429d6aeb/) DBS · Singapore - Central ### [Lead Transformation Analyst – Finance Systems](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/sandisk/jobs/2fc2c41c005a78c9542a/) Sandisk ### [Associate Director, Enterprise Systems Finance Business Operations](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/gsk/jobs/c38b4f710ef9c9f54d3d/) GSK · Bengaluru, India ### [Systems Engineer Dordrecht, Zuid-Holland Dordrecht, Zuid-Holland IT / IT SYSTEMS|ENGINEERING / DESIGN STUDIES / METHODS|DEVELOPMENT / CONSTRUCTION / PROJECT MANAGEMENT IT / IT SYSTEMS|ENGINEERING / DESIGN STUDIES / METHODS|DEVELOPMENT / CONSTRUCTION / PROJECT MANAGEMENT Permanent](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/vinci/jobs/9a68eda6d3a89cb1129f/) VINCI · Dordrecht, Zuid-Holland ### [Senior Engineer Software MES Roermond, Limburg Roermond, Limburg ENGINEERING / DESIGN STUDIES / METHODS|IT / IT SYSTEMS ENGINEERING / DESIGN STUDIES / METHODS|IT / IT SYSTEMS Permanent](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/vinci/jobs/2959e3698df2d5496df7/) VINCI · Roermond, Limburg OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
