More about our mission and what we offer.

As a Surveillance Analyst, you'll play a crucial role in keeping our customers and platform safe by investigating high-risk activity and ensuring compliance with AML/CFT regulations.

This isn’t just another corporate compliance job—at Wise, we do things differently. Our team thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where you’ll have the autonomy to make impactful decisions. If you’re analytical, detail-oriented, and ready to grow your career in financial crime risk, this is your opportunity to join one of the most dynamic teams in Austin!

What You’ll Do

• Investigate high-risk customers, analyze transactions, and determine potential risks.
• Review complex cases with a deep understanding of Wise’s compliance framework and global regulatory requirements.
• Perform due diligence using internal and external data sources, assessing business structures, country risk, and customer profiles.
• Make informed, risk-based decisions and document findings with clarity and accuracy.
• Communicate directly with customers on escalated cases—balancing empathy with strong decision-making.
• Work cross-functionally with internal teams to evolve policies, improve processes, and enhance risk management strategies.
• Identify suspicious activity and escalate concerns to AML and fraud teams when necessary.
• Contribute to a culture of continuous learning and knowledge-sharing across teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong analytical skills with attention to detail—think of yourself as a financial detective!
• Previous experience in compliance, risk analysis, or financial crime investigations is a plus.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills (bonus points if you can explain complex concepts clearly and simply).
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of your tasks while thriving in a collaborative environment.
• Comfortable with ambiguity—our industry is always evolving, and we need people who can adapt.
• A team player who embraces Wise’s culture—kind, respectful, and always ready to lend a helping hand.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. (We’re unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role).
• Willingness to work some evening shifts as needed.
