Company Description Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. Min fees. Max ease. Full speed. Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money. As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money. For everyone, everywhere. More about our mission and what we offer. Job Description We’re just at the beginning of our story and we’re growing at an incredible pace. We won’t stop until anyone, anywhere can send, spend and receive money wherever they are, whatever they’re doing. There’s still heaps to do and we can’t do it alone. We’re looking for a UK Regulatory Assurance Senior Manager to cover maternity absence for a period of up to 24 months, who will focus on developing and maintaining our regulatory compliance monitoring and testing plan for the UK and leading the team in executing this plan. You will work with colleagues from a wide variety of teams including Product, Treasury, Operations and Compliance to provide assurance and help strengthen Wise’s approach to managing the regulatory risks throughout a range of current and new products. You will work with global colleagues to share best practice and coordinate approaches. Your mission: Work with key stakeholders to create and deliver a risk based monitoring and testing plan for the UK, including identifying and testing key controls to evaluate compliance with rules and regulations. Work closely with colleagues in the Financial Crime Assurance or other controls testing teams to avoid duplication. Seek out and leverage new methods/approaches to evolve how we test/monitor. Lead and develop the UK Reg CMT team, ensuring both the high quality and timely execution of the monitoring and testing plan. Proactively communicate solutions to address control gaps or how our processes can be enhanced, as well as tracking these through to completion. Support the wider monitoring and testing team strategy by collaborating with global colleagues and developing the UK team. Adapt your focus depending on the regulatory agenda, growth plans and compliance needs. A bit about you: Technical skills. You have a thorough understanding of risk and control and have experience in designing and carrying out risk-based controls testing in a compliance, IA, audit or consulting role. Fintech focus. Ideally you will have a good understanding of FCA/PRA expectations and the regulatory compliance landscape for payments and investment firms in the UK. If you haven’t worked in a compliance role previously, you’re willing to spend time upskilling yourself and embrace the learning curve in the first months of your role. Passion. You’re excited to work at a fast growing scale-up and you’ve considered the challenges and development opportunities that this brings. You get a kick out of improving current practices and processes, and are self-motivated with a can-do attitude. Get the job done. You’re comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy and managing evolving priorities to deliver against the team’s strategy. Travel. You will be based in London, but you’ll also work with our colleagues in other locations. You’ll be ready to travel to meet your objectives, roughly once every two to three months. Additional Information 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.
