More about our mission and what we offer.

About the programme:

In 2023, we founded a Design Interns programme and we’re delighted to welcome new talent to our award-winning team for a fourth season.   

We are looking for rising stars to join our Design & Research collective for a ten week paid internship programme. While our craft is varied, human-centred design and design thinking unite more than 100 Designers and researchers at Wise.  

Our interns work on real projects that solve real customer problems and the programme includes opportunities to learn about the whole of the business and develop confidence in public speaking. They leave us with a refined case study to share in interviews as they begin their careers.

Your mission:

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

You'll be matched with a Wise sponsor in Design, collaborating with other Wisers and fellow interns on cross-functional projects. We plot our moves every quarter, and your mission will be mapped out with your sponsor. You’ll have plenty of room to help define the scope of the project you work on.

Here’s how you’ll be contributing:

• You’ll get to know Wise customers, building empathy and deep understanding of their needs

• You’ll be honing and flexing your craft skills in a collaborative environment

• You’ll be connecting with your sponsor, fellow interns, and the broader design community to inject fresh creative thinking into the business

About you:

You graduate in Summer of 2027 OR  you are self taught and working to switch careers to Design.

You have:

• The ability to contextualise and build a narrative around your work

• Analytical, assessment and problem solving skills, you’re a proactive problem finder, not just a problem solver

• An open attitude to feedback and willingness to learn

• Foundational skills of the discipline you are applying for (we don’t expect you to know everything, but you need to have enough skill to navigate the organisation and work)

• You’ve got a portfolio of work that demonstrates a mix of well-crafted and user centred work.  

• You are fluent in Figma

• You talk about customer problems and describe how your work solves them

• Strong visual design skills and a passion for finding solutions that allow customers to intuitively use our products

• You’re able to clearly rationalise your decisions to other team members 

• You’re curious about learning from user research and iterating on your work

You are:

• Able to join us for the 10 week internship from the 22nd of June 2026 until the 28th of August 2026

• Available to be in person most of the time at new HQ just north of Liverpool Street Station (we can support local travel costs if you need it)

• Eligible to work in the United Kingdom

Qualifications aren’t that important to us. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background.  If you’re passionate about learning new things, have a good understanding of design and are keen to join our mission, we’d like to hear from you. 

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic.

What you get back:

• Have a real impact. Solve real customer problems

• Salary of gross £30,784 pro rata

• Fun offices with social activities - have a sneak peak of our new London office 

• Be part of a global team with a global mindset

• Meet with some of the most influential people at Wise on this programme

• Be mentored by a Design discipline expert

• Develop your craft and experiment in a live environment

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders  — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.
Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
