More about our mission and what we offer.

The CS Outsourcing Region Lead is responsible for overseeing all vendors who are located in the continent of America and they will also be the direct lead for all the CS Vendor Managers in that region.

The Region leads act as a second level of accountability for the performance of the vendors. They are also an escalation point for the vendors if highlighted issues need to be resolved. The CS Outsourcing Region Leads will be working with cross-region and even cross-function projects, along with the Head of CS Outsourcing.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

• Team Meetings & Activities: Organize structured, documented, and goal-oriented team meetings and team-building events.

• Support Team Development: Help vendor managers set personal growth goals and hold them accountable for achieving progress.

• Manage Budgets: Track team development budgets, vendor costs, and oversee quarterly vendor budget planning alongside the Head of Outsourcing.

• Onboard Vendor Managers: Guide new vendor managers on leadership topics (1-1s, PTO, payroll) and support their integration.

• Handle Conflict & Escalations: Address regional team conflicts and serve as an escalation point for vendor manager-related issues.

• Ensure Project Delivery: Hold vendor managers and coordinators accountable for collaborative projects, supporting delivery when needed.

• Cultivate Stakeholder Relationships: Foster strong relationships between vendor managers, coordinators, and stakeholders.

• Oversee Vendor Performance: Track vendor performance, ensure consistent quality, and collaborate with the outsourcing team to address risks and issues.

• Monitor Vendor Staffing & Billing: Ensure vendor staffing aligns with requirements, monitor billing accuracy, and track forecast changes.

• Manage Vendor Onboarding & Offboarding: Lead the operational onboarding process for new vendors and manage the offboarding process when necessary.

• Analyze Performance Metrics & SLAs: Understand Vendor and Internal performance metrics and SLAs, leveraging data to guide team improvements and project planning.

• Manage Tools & Processes: Oversee use of team management, work management, and case routing tools, ensuring optimal process integration.

• Contribute to Strategy Development: Participate in planning cycles and contribute to the global Outsourcing strategy and long-term goals.

What’s it like to work in the team:

We have a very impactful team, a close-knit team. We are located across 5 offices - Tokyo, Singapore, Tallinn, Budapest, and Austin, and our stakeholders in Wise and our vendors are also spread across the globe. So the ability to juggle work across timezones is a necessary skill. It’s up to you to hold a healthy balance.

We are all working on an agreement of honesty - we do what we promise, ask help when it’s needed, help others if help is asked. Every member of the team is crucial and has an effect on the rest of the team. That's why we’ve come up with this mutual agreement.

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.
