More about our mission and what we offer.

We’re looking for a Financial Crime Manager to join our growing Compliance team in Brussels. This role is a unique opportunity to have a direct impact on Wise’s mission, help us save millions for our customers by keeping our platform safe and compliant, and scale your expertise as a compliance advisory expert.

Your mission:
Wise has already pioneered new ways for people to transfer money across borders and  currencies. Our customers can also manage their hard-earned money with the world’s first  platform to offer true multi-currency banking. 
As part of the Wise Europe Financial Crime Compliance Team, you will report directly to the AMLCO. Working side-by-side with specialists across KYC, AML/CTF and Sanctions, you will be the bridge between policy and practice. Your mission is to support the AMLCO in overseeing our compliance framework and providing expert advisory to our first-line teams, ensuring Wise Europe’s controls remain both efficient and robust.

What you'll be doing:

• Ensure that the AML/CTF Policy, Customer Acceptance Policy and related KYC procedures are understood and accurately implemented in Wise Europe’s control framework

• Review and advise on all operational procedures related to Financial Crime prevention

• Plan and execute on training content for KYC to ensure first line operational teams understand and execute their tasks in line with expectations

• Ensure KYC requirements are incorporated appropriately into Wise’s FinCrime risk management strategy, in line with Belgian and European standards and regulatory expectations

• Provide advisory to first line teams on control changes and operational procedures as well as new product launches

• Support first line teams in managing incidents or developing controls to detect emerging risks

• Prepare reports to the AMLCO and senior management of Wise Europe on any material changes within your domain

• Where required, represent and explain Wise’s compliance framework to external stakeholders (i.e., local regulators, law enforcement etc)

What you'll bring:

• You have at least 5 years in financial crime compliance (specifically KYC or AML/CTF), ideally within a fast-paced global organisation. You know how to champion risk-based decision-making

• You possess sharp analytical skills and the confidence to challenge the status quo, scope the solution to complex issues, and influence senior stakeholders across functional lines

• You can multitask with ease and take full ownership of outcomes during challenging or high-pressure situations

• You are proactive and you call out any challenges on the horizon

• Fluency in English is a must. Proficiency in French or Dutch is highly recommended to review guidance that is relevant to the Belgian legislative landscape effectively

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.
