• You are able to turn a vision into clear, tangible building blocks of a roadmap and have a clear definition of done.

• You are self driven, you deal well with ambiguity, and you can pave the way for things that have never been done before. 

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.

We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager to join our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Squad to make a meaningful dent in global financial crime.

Wise moves £145B+ annually across borders and customers love us for how easy and how cheap it is. You know who else loves moving money cheaply across borders? Criminals looking to launder proceeds of crime.

This is where you come in. Our vision is clean money without borders. We have made great progress in developing a general crime catching machine learning model, and now we need to dig deeper, and get a whole lot more specific. You’ll dive deep into criminal typologies, become an expert in how international crime takes place, and build advanced systems that catch hyper-targeted, regional, criminal behaviour.

• Setting new standards of live detecting hyper specific and regional crime at scale, in a way that satisfies our regulatory obligations globally and works financially for our business.
• Working with regional compliance officers (known in the industry as the second line of defense) to deliver global controls that have a strong reputation with local regulators and law enforcement.
• Working with data scientists, product analysts, product designers, product compliance managers, operations leads and software engineers to ensure the team ship the best possible product.

• Meaningful team mission with huge global reach: You’ll be fighting money laundering, terrorism financing and human exploitation across Wise’s £145B+ annual cross-border volume. You’ll be working with global regulators and law enforcement across 65+ licenses and 160+ countries. 

• Cutting edge tech: You’ll be developing state of the art systems to prevent and detect crime in real time, spanning machine learning, LLMs and anything else your team feels is needed to tackle the problem.

• Product led company: Wise lives and breathes empowerment. Our growth and progress is all down to autonomous product teams investing in what they believe will get us to our mission. You and the team have full authority to decide and the responsibility to get results.

• Learn from experienced product leadership: You’ll work directly with product management veterans who will invest in your growth and development. You’ll work with Surbhi and Susana, and learn from Gergő and Nilan.

• Beloved products: Imagine every time you tell someone you work at Wise being showered with compliments about how much they love the product. Our most recent Net Promoter Score was 65+, and over 70% of new customers come through “word-of-mouth”.

• Choose your own path to success - you’ll have the freedom to define the vision and the responsibility for making it happen
• Be flexible in how and where you work, we understand everyone needs a little something different so we’ll do our best to make it happen
• Travel to work with our teams in London and Tallinn as well as meet various partners and organisations globally when needed
• Inspire teams with your ideas, knowledge and self-starting attitude
