Product Lead - Finance

Your mission:

Your mandate is to build and maintain the foundational financial platform that guarantees the integrity and compliance of every transaction across Wise’s global ecosystem. The systems you own secure the integrity of over £40bn in monthly financial flow across all of Wise.

Your impact:

Within the Finance Product team, you will lead the Accounting and Operations workstream. This workstream is the architect of financial truth at Wise. You will operate as the foundational service provider that guarantees the integrity of every record of movement of money across the Wise ecosystem.

• Organisational Role: Your team's systems are the single source of consumable financial data (the ledger of record) that underpins all critical downstream functions, including regulatory reporting, tax filing, as well as strategic decision-making by executive leadership.

• The Scale: You will be leading the vision for a ledgering system currently processing over 1bn+ journal entries a month and supporting a sustained throughput of 200k events per minute.

You will also be owning the Finance processes around:

• Accounting business processes

• Master data management

• AR/AP and Payouts

The core questions that you will answer in your role are -

1. How do you build systems and controls that ensure completeness and accuracy of financial flows?

2. How do you eliminate operational risks from financial processes?

You will define and execute the product strategy to achieve real-time reconciliation and assurance at global scale, providing functional finance teams with systems they need to operate effectively, compliantly, and efficiently in 50+ countries.

You are joining the Finance Product team at a pivotal, hyper-growth stage as Wise prepares to list in the US. The Finance team is strategically expanding its footprint to raise the bar on global regulatory maturity and provide a robust financial foundation for Wise’s sustained, rapid growth. This expansion is directly driven by the need to proactively mature our global financial controls and infrastructure to meet the highest standards required of a US-listed, global financial technology company.
