This role is a unique opportunity to have a massive impact on Wise's mission, and build the engine that powers the revolution, Money without Borders.

Your mission

Your mission is to scale the backend financial engines at Wise during a pivotal growth phase following our recent US listing on NASDAQ. You will lead critical work within our Accounting Infrastructure team - which is responsible for the financial truth at Wise..

Your impact

Your mission is to build the centralized master data registry for finance at Wise.

Your team builds the automated verification checks and data pipelines to keep multiple systems aligned and reduce “data drifts”.

Unlocking Automation

You will build a single directional flow for financial data preventing local data alterations and removing the structural friction to automate our financials.

Building Trust

Consistent master data is necessary for accounting automation and minimising risk of misstatement of financial information. Your work ensures that our financial platforms are audit-ready. Example of questions that you will answer in your role are - How do you design a zero-trust master data framework that prevents data silos from forming across our specialized internal applications? How do you design automated tracking mechanisms to detect when a core financial attribute changes in one internal application but not in others?

How do you create a master data staging area that validates and maps core attributes before they are synchronized across different applications? You are joining the Finance Product team at a pivotal, hyper-growth stage as Wise has recently listed in the US. The Finance team is raising the bar on global regulatory maturity and providing a robust financial foundation for Wise’s sustained, rapid growth. This expansion is directly driven by the need to proactively mature our global financial controls and infrastructure to meet the highest standards required of a US-listed, global financial technology company.
