Senior Product Analytics Manager - Online Platforms

Job description

THE ROLE We’re looking for a Senior Product Analytics Manager [AL2] to lead analytics for our Online Platforms vertical. You’ll be at the centre of one of Wise Platform’s biggest growth opportunities, working with product, engineering, operations and commercial leaders to shape our product and go-to-market strategy. As part of the vertical leadership team, you’ll shape its priorities, building conviction through your insights and analysis and drive cross-functional stakeholders to action.

This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role in a fast-scaling “start-up within a scale-up” environment. You’ll turn ambiguous problems into structured analysis, insights into compelling narratives and opportunities into high-conviction product bets. The role will require you to be hands-on and develop a deep understanding of our products, partners and opportunity areas. You’ll own the verticals performance and be willing to get your hands dirty, helping analysts and cross-functional partners to work through some of the most complex and ambiguous problem areas.

You’ll manage a team from day one, while building and scaling a high-performing product analytics function for the vertical. You’ll set a clear analytics vision and roadmap, develop analysts and establish the data, metrics and ways of working needed to support the vertical as it grows.

You’ll help us answer questions such as: Where are our biggest product, growth and commercial opportunities? Who should we be building and selling our products and solutions for? What products should we build or improve to unlock growth? How can we reduce time to revenue and ensure partners scale effectively? Where is friction occurring across the onboarding and transaction lifecycle, and how should we address it? How should we position and prioritise our products to create the greatest long-term impact?

How should we structure and resource our teams?

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Own the vertical’s growth and performance end-to-end. You’ll define and proactively manage the vertical and sub-teams’ KPIs and metrics suite, ensuring there is a clear understanding of product performance. You’ll identify root causes, undertake deep dives and work with counterparts to turn your insights into actionable recommendations. Lead product discovery, market and opportunity sizing for product initiatives, understanding their short- and long-term impact against our KPIs.

You’ll use this work to shape strategy, prioritise opportunities and influence product and commercial roadmaps. Build and scale a high-performing product analytics function as the vertical grows, setting its vision, priorities, operating model and ways of working. You’ll also build the analytics foundations needed to scale, including reliable data models, clear metric definitions and effective self-serve reporting. Lead, coach and develop a team of product analysts from day one, creating a high bar for analytical quality, commercial thinking and impact.

Partner with product, engineering, operations and commercial leadership to turn complex analysis into compelling narratives and clear recommendations, influencing senior stakeholders and driving cross-functional teams to action.

Qualifications

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

You’re an experienced product analytics leader with a strong track record of building, managing and scaling high-performing analytics teams. You have experience working in high-growth B2B tech companies and have partnered closely with product, and preferably enterprise sales teams before. You have experience in fintech, preferably payments, or are excited to build an expert understanding of our products, partners and competitors.

You’re commercially minded - able to translate analysis into impact and comfortable with opportunity sizing, forecasting, prioritisation and scenario modelling. You’re proficient in SQL and know your way around data pipeline management tools such as Snowflake, dbt, Git, Airflow, Python and Lightdash. You’re comfortable owning analytics from data transformation through to actionable insights. You’re an expert at crafting dashboards and visualisations that bring data to life, tell a clear story and offer diagnostic power.

You’re solution-oriented and able to own projects from start to finish. You’re comfortable motivating stakeholders across Wise, negotiating priorities and timelines, and making things happen. You’re an excellent communicator, able to form your own opinions and articulate them effectively to influence senior stakeholders. You’re comfortable operating at both strategic and hands-on levels - setting the direction for the function while getting into the details when needed.
