Company Description

At Wise we’re building money without borders, for people without borders. Our mission is to make moving money around the world instant, transparent, convenient and eventually free. Wise now has millions of customers all over the world who trust us to manage their money and make it easier to live an international life. 


Job Description

We’re looking for a Europe Money Movement Group Product Manager to join our growing Europe & UK team in London, Budapest or Tallinn. This role is a unique opportunity to have an impact on Wise’s mission, grow as a product leader and empower millions of people to move their money instantly.

About the role

Your mission is to help Wise become the preferred choice of converting currency and moving money cross-border for people and businesses in Europe and the UK. The way we achieve this is by connecting two domestic payment systems together in two parts of the world, making payments instant, transparent, and eventually free. At the moment, Wise connects to most payment systems through third parties – however, this is about to change in Europe.

In 2025 Europe is opening up direct access for payments companies like Wise to local payment systems. We already connected Wise directly to the payment systems and central banks in the UK and Hungary. Now there’s an opportunity to do that across all of Europe, including the Eurozone, Poland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Denmark, and Romania. 

This role will give you the opportunity to:

  • Building money without borders. You will be right in the middle of changing how moving money works in Europe by building payments infrastructure that helps millions of businesses and people send and receive money from their friends, family, and partners in Europe. With the laws changing, it practically means the start of a whole new era for payments in Europe, and you’ll get to be part of defining what that looks like.

  • Solving a complex technical challenge. Running dozens of global payments integrations at scale and effectively is a problem that has not yet been solved properly – otherwise we’d already have instant and free cross border transactions. Most companies still spin up new and separate teams for each additional direct connection to deal with the complexity. This challenge allows you to flex your creative, technical, and analytical muscles to design our payments infrastructure and processes in a scalable way i.e. that code and automated processes built by a finite number of teams are what power how money moves.

  • Empowered to make decisions. We believe people are most effective when they’re empowered to make decisions. Rather than telling you what to do, you’ll work with your team to create your own vision, a roadmap, and KPIs to achieve our mission. You will receive feedback from smart, curious people across Wise to sharpen your decision making – but the ultimate decision and accountability sit with you and your team.

  • Leadership. Building up scalable money movement infrastructure needs a common vision for at least 3 teams. You’ll be expected to lead one of them directly and lead the Product Managers in the other two. You will start off as an individual contributor in one team, and throughout the course of the first 6-9 months start to lead the group of teams focused on money movement.


Qualifications

Strong analytical skills

  • You have experience of making data-driven decisions in complex situations.

  • You are comfortable working with analysts and give them useful feedback on their analysis.

  • Plus: You are comfortable analysing large datasets to draw insights on their own without analyst support.

  • You are able to regularly unblock engineers in their decisions and have confidence to suggest alternative solutions.

Structured thinking and communication

  • You are able to structure an ambiguous problem into clear actionable steps. 

  • You proactively work in collaboration with the team - ops/banking/engineers etc to break down and structure problems rather than working in isolation.

  • You are comfortable solving problems in unstructured complex situations. You should be able to carve out a clear path in seemingly chaotic situations.

  • You are able to build relationships with people in the organisation both within and outside the squad to get support for their team. 

  • You are able to inspire the organisation about their plans and vision.

  • You are able to create a positive working culture within their team - engg, banking, ops etc. You should make sure you incorporate valid feedback and ideas of their team instead of unilaterally making decisions for them. The team should feel inspired to work with them.

  • Plus: If you have experience working and negotiating with external partners.

Entrepreneurial/ Hustler

  • You have a track record of getting things done. 

  • You feel comfortable taking on complex projects requiring support from different teams and functions and getting them to the finish line. 

  • You are able to navigate the organisation and find creative ways to unblock themselves and their team. 

  • In case of limited resources, you instinctively jump hands on into whatever task the team needs their help with. (e.g. when you don’t have a designer, you open Figma yourself).

  • You do not get boxed into existing assumptions about problems you are solving, team structures and situations and feel comfortable challenging them to drive impact.
