Job description

We’re looking for an Editorial Content Lead to join our global communications function to shape and elevate Wise’s voice, ensuring that what we say is clear, compelling, and drives our business forward.

You’ll work at the heart of our communications team, collaborating with senior leadership and cross‑functional stakeholders to tell Wise’s story as we continue to evolve, expand, and grow worldwide.

Whether it’s crafting thought leadership that positions Wise as an industry leader, developing presentations for key stakeholders, or ensuring our corporate messaging cuts through, you’ll be the editorial expert who makes it happen.

You have an exceptional command of language and storytelling, with the ability to adapt your voice for different audiences and channels. You’re not just a great writer—you’re a strategic thinker who understands business goals and can translate them into compelling narratives that drive awareness, understanding, and ultimately business results.

Key areas of focus for this role

Leading editorial excellence

You’ll develop editorial strategies that ensure consistency and excellence across all communications.

You’ll craft high‑impact content across formats—from detailed reports and presentations to executive speeches and thought leadership pieces.

You’ll turn complex technical topics into clear, compelling stories that bring our products and mission to life for our audiences.

You’ll develop a deep understanding of Wise’s mission, goals, the industry, and the environment we operate in, and translate them into clear, compelling narratives for internal and external audiences.

Cross‑functional collaboration and stakeholder engagement

You’ll work closely with leadership and senior stakeholders across the organization to develop and refine key messages and positioning.

You’ll provide editorial guidance and support throughout the organization, collaborating effectively with teams including PR, internal communications, investor relations, marketing, and legal.

You’ll adapt content effectively across different platforms and channels, ensuring optimal impact for each audience.

What you’ll need

Outstanding command of language, grammar, and style, with the ability to adapt tone and voice for different speakers, audiences, and channels.

Deep experience delivering content across different formats—reports, presentations, speeches, social media posts, blogs, customer‑facing communications, and thought leadership.

Strong storytelling ability with demonstrable experience turning technical topics into simple, clear, and compelling narratives.

Demonstrable ability to develop a deep understanding of business strategy, company goals, products, customers, and operating environment to inform company communications.

Experience working with company leaders and stakeholders across multiple functions.

Understanding of how to assess content quality and effectiveness using data and metrics.

Adaptability to emerging communication technologies and trends.

An ownership mindset with a hands‑on, solutions‑oriented, and results‑driven approach.

Strong multitasking capabilities and the ability to work proactively, independently, and collaboratively in a fast‑paced, high‑growth company.

A genuine, enthusiastic interest in our mission and in developing compelling narratives to make financial services fairer.

What you’ll get

We offer you a position in one of the UK’s foremost tech companies, with a chance to truly be a part of something great. It goes without saying that you’ll be part of a fun, friendly atmosphere with plenty of opportunities to grow personally and professionally.

You’ll receive a competitive salary, flexible work hours, and international travel. Everyone gets shares in the company too, because we believe that what we’re building belongs to each of us.

What is it really like to work here

At Wise we do things a bit differently. There’s no corporate nonsense and no old‑fashioned hierarchy. Instead, we work in individually responsible teams. Each team owns how they want to solve the problems we’re working on together and gets on with it—so there’s no micro‑management or people telling you what to do. You will get tons of guidance and support from talented, super‑smart colleagues from all over Wise. The way we work doesn’t suit everyone. But if the freedom to take on head‑scratching professional challenges sounds interesting, we could be a match made in heaven.

Additional Information

For everyone everywhere. We’re people building money without borders, without judgement or prejudice. 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 toward our mission, and able to progress in their careers.
