More about our mission and what we offer.

We’re looking for an Analytics Director for our UK and Europe Squad who is passionate about our mission of Money Without Borders, to lead a high-impact analytics team which drives decision making and plays a key role in the strategic roadmap for these markets . This is a unique opportunity to work on our largest, most mature Markets!

You’ll report to the Analytics lead for Regional Expansion, and partner daily with the Product, Banking and Engineer leads for UK & Europe squad. Together, you will form a cross-functional group of key decision makers who own the challenge of driving the product roadmap in this Region. You’ll also be part of the Analytics community within Wise, giving you access to a global network of analytics professionals.

You’ll lead a team of 5 to 6 passionate analysts and support them to partner across product teams  to drive data based decision making and ensure robust measurement of the impact of the work we do, as well as identifying insights to inform our planning process - all to ensure that we are enhancing our UK and European customer’s experience to best enable impact on our mission.

• Have a significant impact by shaping the next phase of analytics in a fast-paced, scaling, global company

• Learn from a global network of professionals. We have a large, diverse team of analysts and data scientists that you will work with and learn from by being part of the Analytics community

• Led, developed, supported and grown a team of analysts enabling them to effectively partner across the Squad to build trusted relationships and drive data based decisions 

• Hands-on data manipulation and analysis experience including scripting/coding (and coaching others) in SQL and Python (or R)

• Co-owned team wide projects, helping to bring teams together to plan around problems with KPIs that make a difference

• Would be amazing if you've practically used + applied AI / machine learning techniques and built predictive models to get deeper insight

• Base salary: £125-150k gross / year base (based on experience & interview outcomes)

• Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

• Numerous amount of best in class benefits

• Flexible working - whether it’s working from home, school plays or life admin we get that flexibility is essential and you’re trusted to do the right thing and be responsible

• Paid annual holiday, sick days, parental leave and other leave opportunities

• 6 weeks of paid sabbatical after 4 years at Wise on top of annual leave

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders  — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.
Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
