About the Role:
As part of the team, you’ll be at the forefront of designing, implementing, and refining models that forecast and manage liquidity, and influencing decision-making processes across the organisation. Your mission is to help us have enough cash in the right place at the right time and make sure we keep the liquidity risk under control. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to develop data-driven solutions that enhance our liquidity management and operational efficiency.
Here’s how you’ll be contributing:
Liquidity management
Work closely with Treasury operations to develop supply and demand forecasts and incorporate them into the real-time money movement processes across a multi-region portfolio of products and currencies.
Conduct rigorous data analysis to support liquidity efficiency initiatives, ensuring a balance between sufficiency and excess.
Collaborate with engineering teams to implement models within the treasury's operational backoffice, ensuring scalability and operational efficiency.
Develop bespoke models and analyses in preparation for stress events and new product launches
Liquidity Risk modelling and analysis
Develop models and infrastructure for understanding liquidity consumption by company’s products.
Partner with product and operational teams to translate complex liquidity risk scenarios into actionable insights for customer-focused solutions.
Document and present model results and risk assessments to senior stakeholders, controllers and the Risk team (the second line of defence). Explain complex concepts and propose strategies that align with the company’s risk appetite and business objectives.
For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. 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 towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.

Wise enables international money transfers with lower fees by using a peer-to-peer model to match transfers across borders. It offers a multi-currency account for holding and managing money in different currencies and provides an API for businesses to integrate Wise transfers into their platforms. Unlike traditional banks that charge higher fees and poor exchange rates, Wise uses transparent, small-per-transaction fees and real-time exchange rates to reduce costs. Its approach differentiates it from competitors by emphasizing simplicity, cost transparency, and a broad API for business integration. The goal is to make cross-border payments cheaper, faster, and more transparent for individuals and businesses around the world.
