We’re looking for a ANZ Banking and Expansion manager to help drive our growth plans in the region. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role to grow Wise in Australia & NZ, allowing millions more potential customers to save money by using our services.
What will you be doing?
Build and maintain strong partnerships with financial institutions (payment schemes, banks, PSPs, card schemes). You will lead commercial negotiations, pitch Wise as a client, complete due diligence processes, maintain strong and active relationships with partners, and ensure the technical teams have what they need to build a successful product for Wise customers.
Work with the product team to prioritise new product launches, potential product changes and new features in Pacific entities that would have the biggest impact for our customers. You will be one of the product team’s go-to people for regulatory knowledge and engagement where required.
Identify how to grow Wise in Australia and New Zealand. If we need financial services licences, you will need to help manage the process end-to-end: understand the regulations, prepare, coordinate and submit applications, and get the regulatory buy-in.
Manage and support the day to day requirements for our current licences, both from a Product and Compliance perspective
Together with the compliance team, understand existing and new regulations, figuring out the best way in which our product and setup are compliant with them. We see regulation as an opportunity, and we want you to help us achieve that vision!
Enhance risk and governance frameworks in the region alongside the Risk, Compliance, and other relevant teams.
Manage the relationship with regulators and other important non-commercial relationships, such as with government departments.
Have oversight of Wise’s business operations. Help guide strategy, provide leadership and alignment amongst the various functions responsible for ensuring the good health of the entity.
Assist the preparation of papers and reports for relevant committees and Board meetings
Have the opportunity to travel to our Regional HQ in Singapore or to our offices in Europe when needed
You may, from time to time, take on regulatory accountability, with one or more of our local regulators.
Your mission:
Market growth - Help to identify ways to grow Wise in Australia & NZ, then roll up your sleeves and make it happen. If we need a licence, you will be involved in the process end-to-end: understand the regulations, do the application and get the regulatory buy-in.
Financial services partnerships - Maintain and improve relationships with financial institutions (banks, payment companies, card schemes) and assist commercial negotiations to drive down costs. You will monitor our economics to ensure that our service is competitive; if needed, onboard new Financial Institution partners.
Strategic initiatives related to expansion - You will identify new / relevant local ways to benefit customers (such as a new local payment method or a new product feature) and implement it. You will also grow our new product offerings by identifying and pitching to relevant businesses in your target markets.
Governance - Assist with the oversight of business operations, strategic initiatives, operational risk and compliance controls, and inter-company SLA’s.
This role will give you the opportunity to:
Choose your own path to success - you’ll have the freedom to define the vision and the responsibility for making it happen
Gain international exposure - you will work with our teams in offices around the world as well as meet with regulators and partners across APAC. You will also have the opportunity to travel to our Regional HQ in Singapore and to our offices in Europe when needed
Be a part of starting something new by helping launch Wise challenge the financial status-quo in the region
