More about our mission and what we offer.

We’re looking for a Lead Product Analyst to join the Financial Crime Platform team and partner with our Financial Crime and KYC Product teams to ensure we are making data-driven and innovative growth decisions while helping to combat financial crime.

Financial Crime (Servicing) Platform is our internal risk infrastructure tool that unifies customer onboarding, identities and transaction monitoring controls, ensuring Wise is protected against financial crime and meets regulatory requirements and standards.

You will lead our analytics efforts in the Financial Crime Platform product team that balances the work between preventing financial crime and enabling a smooth customer experience. We work closely with our FinCrime teams in Fraud, AML, Sanctions, Verification… but we are a Platform team. Our work is to enable them, securely and fast.

This is a great opportunity for a Product Analyst that thrives solving technical challenges, or an Analytics Engineer that wants to be closer to business problems and product outcomes. You’ll also be part of a wider team of 300+ Analysts that you’ll get to collaborate with on cross-team projects, have knowledge sharing sessions and bring ideas on how we can improve analytics across Wise.
