Fast.Company DescriptionWise is one the fastest growing companies in Europe and we’re on a mission: to make money without borders the new normal. We’ve got 15 million customers across the globe and we’re growing. Fast.Current banking systems don’t let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply.So, we’re building a new one.Enter: our Global Product Tribe!Job DescriptionThe Global Product tribe at Wise owns nearly all aspects of the customer experience and core infrastructure powering the Wise Account, Wise Business, and Remittances (Transfer) products. We’re on a mission to build the world’s most global account—one that offers a truly local experience no matter where life or business takes our customers.If you’ve used Wise, there’s a good chance you’ve spent 90% of your time engaging with products and experiences developed by teams in this tribe.The tribe is organized into six key squads: Onboarding, Send, Receive, Spend, Account, and Grow—each responsible for a specific area of the product journey.We’re looking for an inspiring and customer-obsessed engineering leader to join us—someone with a bias for action, a strong product mindset, and a passion for world-class user experiences. You’ll start by leading our Receive Squad, with the opportunity to grow your scope across more of the Global Product organization in the future.About The Receive SquadThe Receive Squad builds the products that allow Wise customers to get paid from anywhere in the world and fund their accounts and transactions. Our goal is to offer the fastest, most transparent, most convenient, and fairly priced ways for customers to receive money globally.Today, we provide local account details in 10+ countries, and our PayIn platform processes over £200 billion annually in incoming payments.

QualificationsYou’re an experienced engineering leader who has led complex, high-impact teams at scale.You care deeply about building products that solve real customer problems—and you bring that empathy into how you lead and prioritize.You bring a strong technical foundation, with a solid eye for system design, architecture, and scalability, and you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and go deep when teams need help.You’ve worked in or with regulated industries and know how to balance compliance, speed, and customer value.You’re energized by removing blockers, simplifying processes, and enabling teams to ship faster.You’re comfortable leading in a globally distributed, cross-functional environment and collaborating across a diverse set of teams.You thrive in a high-growth, high-accountability culture where autonomy and trust go hand in hand.
