Job Description
The team is building a robust control framework to ensure the entire Wise product portfolio is covered with essential screening checks and prevent onboarding of sanctioned individuals, organisations and politically exposed people. We ensure that associated risks are thoroughly mitigated and that controls are functioning effectively.
We are scaling our operations team and developing solutions to support them, ensuring that alerts are accurately checked and fully auditable. We are enhancing the customer experience, making it easy and convenient for customers to provide the necessary information and documents.
You'll work directly with our back-office and compliance teams to understand how they work and what challenges they face. Then you'll redesign and build better internal tools for case handling and management - tools that are easy to use, efficient, and can grow with us.
Your work will improve both our internal processes and what customers experience, making a real difference to how smoothly we operate. You'll also team up with our regional and growth teams to make FinCrime and screening tools easier to implement across all our markets.
Our main vision points are:
We want to fight financial crime, not just comply with requirements
Run comprehensive screening checks across all products and use cases
Ensure an invisible and frictionless experience for our customers
Near-real time performance requirements for data processing
Automation of manual processes: if some process logic can be described, it can be automated
