This role will give you the opportunity to:

  • Develop an in-depth knowledge of Wise's business and get to know many teams across the company as you liaise with them to help them understand the regulatory

framework and bring together the information that our regulators need.

  • Help keep compliance right at the heart of our product developments by managing our compliance obligations across South Asia and South-East Asia, managing

regulatory change, driving second line monitoring and oversight, and providing

assurance to Group Senior Leadership Team, Board directors of Wise licensed subsidiaries in your region and Group Board.

  • Support new initiatives and market launches by ensuring all new business and products are compliantly launched.

More specifically, we're looking for someone who can demonstrate they have these attributes:

  • Theory. You are an expert in regulatory and fincrime compliance (or both) having a

background in Financial Regulation or a thorough knowledge of regulations in South Asia and at least 2 major markets in South-East Asia.

  • Practice. You have worked in a Financial Regulation advisory role or in a Compliance team in a leadership capacity and have dealt with regulators on a regular basis. You have demonstrable experience designing and challenging processes, ideally across multiple products. You have experience in dealing with regulatory audits, FIU reporting, suspicious transaction monitoring etc. You understand how to build and maintain a good working relationship with regulators, policymakers etc.
  • Passion. You get a kick out of improving current practices and processes and have the drive to apply different compliance strategies to develop multiple compliance frameworks. You have thought deeply about the Wise mission and how it intersects with compliance.
  • Get the job done. You are a problem-solver. You have a sense of urgency and an ability to work well under pressure, prioritising, taking responsibility and working to tight deadlines.
  • Communication. You're a strong relationship builder across all levels of the business and externally. You lead by example and can demonstrate the Wise values in all your actions.
  • Development. You've considered the challenges and development opportunities of working at a fast growing scale-up and are looking to get into FinTech or payments compliance.

What we offer in return:

  • Competitive base salary
  • Generous stock options package

We're people without borders - without judgement or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background. So if you're passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you'll fit right in. Also, where and what you studied isn't important to us. If you've got great experience, the right skills for the role and you're great at articulating your thinking, we'd like to hear from you.
