Job Description

Role & Job purpose

Join our dynamic Wise Platform team as a Business Operations Manager, where you will play a crucial role in scaling our KYC product for downstream operational teams and improve the experience for enterprise businesses and banks partnering with Wise. This position offers the unique opportunity to influence Wise’s mission, enhance the KYC and product roadmap, and establish partnerships that facilitate instant, borderless money for more people.

You will be one of the first members of the newly set-up function that creates a bridge between Product and Engineering and Operations teams. Your role will focus on the KYC/Due Diligence product for partners. This new function sits in our product organisation and will be responsible for running scalable and effective operations.


Here’s how you’ll do:

  • Look into potential KYC Ops issues that could challenge our growth, such as when partner onboarding is delayed, inefficient or challenging to finalise
  • Work closely with operational teams, providing feedback from the partners’ point of view, challenging them when they are too risk averse
  • You will do the opposite with Product teams - challenge them when they don’t consider risk well enough, and encourage them to consider the operational impact of their actions
  • Help Wise serve its platform partners in the best way by setting up Operational teams SLAs, find ways to improve their processes, build demand-capacity plans and provide the Product teams with insights from the KYC Ops teams
  • Run side by sides sessions with KYC Ops agents and go through cases to find insights, and build solutions accordingly
  • Manage incidents when they happen - from setting up processes to conducting post mortems
  • You’ll be working closely with representatives within the KYC Ops team, driving automation, process improvements and outsourcing projects
  • You’ll clearly define success and evaluate progress with both qualitative and quantitative methods


This role will give you the opportunity to

  • Choose your path to impact – we believe people are most empowered when they can act autonomously. So rather than telling you what to do, you’ll work with your team to create a vision of your own. Of course, you can always gather feedback from smart, curious people across Wise but you’ll have the freedom to make your own calls
  • Grow as a leader – Grow and inspire team members to join our mission
  • Get amazing exposure to the full breadth and depth of our KYC product for partners
  • Be part of our mission to make money without borders the new normal


A bit about you: 

  • You’re passionate about helping customers. They are at the heart of what you do and that empathy drives your decisions
  • You’re entrepreneurial and hands-on – You have delivered high impact product solutions before in data-driven environments, using a mix of product and process solutions and have seen them through to production
  • You are fluent with data, can use spreadsheets and analytics dashboards for insights, preferably you know SQL and Python
  • You can go through loads of qualitative data point: customer contacts, operational cases and side-by-sides sessions 
  • You understand the economics concepts like demand-capacity 
  • You understand technology and how to build products well enough to be able to help the team know when to invest in tech debt reduction, bugs or new features
  • Have a clear playbook for prioritising work, helping the team understand impact and making an inspiring roadmap for everyone to follow
  • You approach problem solving in a methodical way, allowing the team to gain clarity over root cause issues and making it easier to correctly assess risk and migration strategies for it
  • You can influence people without authority
