Join our Finance team and help lead us through a critical transformation

The Finance team is critical in supporting the Wise mission of Money without Borders.

We are working on numerous projects to transform the finance tribe to enable us to better manage risk, scale our operations and enable growth. This is an unique opportunity to be a key contributor to building the future of finance and Wise.

We’re looking for a Finance Programmes and Change Manager to join us.

This role will partner across the entire Finance function to drive the successful delivery of our key projects and programmes, as well as to embed and continuously improve project delivery within the function.

This role would suit someone highly collaborative who is experienced in programme management and comfortable with working at pace to build something new.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Lead high-impact Finance projects or programmes - You will own and deliver significant, complex initiatives across Group Finance (such as finance efficiency optimisation, controls uplift, and regulatory-driven change) impacting multiple teams. This is a hands-on role where you will directly drive delivery, working closely with stakeholders rather than relying on large, dedicated project teams. Working with finance process owners, senior leadership, and technical partners, you’ll define scope, success criteria, and delivery approach, ensuring execution with discipline and pace. You’ll drive prioritisation and decision-making across stakeholders, and define success metrics to track benefits realisation, delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, control, and scalability.

• Build cross-Finance alignment and drive change that sticks – You’ll partner closely with Accounting, Reporting, FP&A, Tax, Risk & Controls, Product, Analytics, and Engineering to ensure initiatives progress cohesively. You’ll use data, structured thinking, and stakeholder alignment to resolve blockers and drive outcomes. You’ll also lead structured change management, including impact assessments, communication, training, and adoption tracking to ensure sustainable change.

• Drive improvements in Finance processes, systems, and ways of working – You’ll collaborate with Finance leaders and Product teams to identify opportunities to standardise, automate, and simplify processes across Finance. You’ll ensure business requirements are met, systems and tooling are effectively leveraged, and compliance and control standards are upheld.

• Ensure strong programme governance and delivery discipline – You’ll lead planning, scheduling, and risk and issue management, with clear reporting and follow-up to ensure timely, high-quality delivery.

About You: 

• You are an experienced Programme Manager - able to establish credibility quickly and tailor your programme governance structures and controls to your environment. You have a recognised programme or portfolio management qualification and likely a project management qualification too. You might also have a change management qualification and experience of managing programmes of work on monday.com or Jira.

• You are an excellent communicator and highly collaborative - you are excellent at building relationships quickly and working across teams and functions; able to bring people together to achieve a common goal. You’re also an excellent communicator who is able to influence across matrix structures to get things done.

• You have a passion for working in a Finance team - you understand that Finance at Wise isn't just about numbers, but about enabling our mission of money without borders. You've worked in Finance teams within high-growth, regulated environments and are driven by the complexity of supporting a global financial services platform.

• You understand good change management and communication are key to successful programme delivery - you’re great at guiding the business through the cumulative change your programme of projects brings; and amazing at communicating effectively and thoughtfully varying your style based on the circumstance

• You think ‘globally’ - you’re experienced supporting leaders and employees split across geographies and timezones. You understand that ‘thinking globally’ is not just jargon, it’s key to the successful delivery of a global programme of work.

• You’re data driven - you use data to inform your decisions
