Job Description

We’re looking for a Design & Research Operations Graduate to join our Design & Research Operations team in London.

You’ll be part of Wise’s global mission to build an open, fair, and human financial system. Because people without borders need money without borders.

Your mission: 

You'll be mentored by several Design & Research Operations team members at Wise, collaborating with other Wisers and fellow grads on cross-functional projects.

Here’s how you’ll contribute:

  • Operational support: Help execute Design leadership visions and keep day-to-day community operations running smoothly by setting up collaborative initiatives, coordinating across teams, and gathering feedback on impact
  • Program management: Support end-to-end program delivery across the design community (e.g., coordinating global product feature rollouts across design, research, and cross-functional teams).
  • Capability building: Support the drive for overall team maturity and continuous improvement by identifying opportunities, introducing new practices or training, and boosting the design community's efficiency.
