Low-cost international money transfers with API
As a Risk Manager in Wise’s second line Risk Management Team, you will help make risk management easy to adopt and seamless to use across Wise.
We help teams understand and manage their risks by building technology, tools and processes that fit naturally into how they work. You will turn stakeholder problems into practical solutions, reducing manual effort and making effective risk management part of everyday decision-making.
You will own the day-to-day operation and continuous improvement of Wise’s Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) tool. Alongside this, you will use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code and Codex to build solutions, integrations and minimum viable products (MVPs) that solve real problems. You will take solutions from idea through testing and initial release, then work with relevant technical teams to make them reliable, secure and supportable in production.
What You'll Be Doing:
GRC product ownership: Manage the daily operation within Wise’s GRC tool, ensuring it is reliable, efficient and fit for stakeholder needs. Own its improvement backlog and prioritise changes based on user needs and risk management outcomes.
Risk management enablement: Work with teams across Wise to understand what makes risk management difficult or time-consuming. Simplify workflows and build solutions that make adoption easier while preserving effective risk oversight.
AI-assisted development: Use tools such as Claude Code and Codex to design, build and iterate on solutions, automations, integrations and internal tools. Move from a clearly defined problem to a working solution that users can test and adopt.
Delivery and production readiness: Own solutions beyond the prototype stage. Validate feasibility, test with users and coordinate initial releases. Partner with engineering, security and other relevant teams to establish appropriate testing, access controls, monitoring, documentation and ongoing ownership as solutions move into production.
Continuous improvement: Gather stakeholder feedback, test ideas and roll out iterative improvements. Measure success through adoption, usability, data quality, time saved and better risk management outcomes.
Data analysis and reporting: Read, manipulate and analyse large datasets to support risk management. Build dashboards and reports that help stakeholders understand risks, identify issues and take action.
Training and adoption: Develop clear guidance and deliver practical training so teams can confidently use the GRC tool and supporting solutions.
What You'll Bring:
Technology and AI-assisted development: You can translate stakeholder needs into practical technical solutions, working with GRC platforms, databases, APIs and AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Codex. You can test and debug your work and collaborate with specialists to make solutions production-ready.
User focus: You start with the problems people need to solve, seek feedback and challenge unnecessary complexity. You build tools and workflows that make risk management easier to adopt.
Analytical skills: You are confident handling large datasets, proficient in Excel and comfortable using SQL. Experience with visualisation tools such as Looker or Power BI is valuable.
Risk knowledge: You understand fundamental risk management concepts and can apply them when designing tools and workflows.
Collaboration and initiative: You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, manage competing priorities and take ownership of delivery. You are curious about new technologies and proactive in turning ideas into useful solutions.
