Job DescriptionWe are seeking a highly experienced individual to support a rapidly expanding product in North America. The primary goal is to ensure Wise's US and Canada AML program is best-in-class, meeting regulatory obligations, effectively managing financial crime risk, and scaling to enable continued growth. This is a hands-on and exciting opportunity to collaborate directly with product managers, analysts, and engineers. The ideal candidate will be an expert in anti-financial crime risk and possess proven experience in evaluating and implementing controls.
Your mission:
Wise has already pioneered new ways for people to transfer money across borders and currencies.

Develop reporting to improve the regional and global understanding of the health of our NorthAM financial crime program- reflecting on metrics, issues, incidents to name a few
Offer effective advice to Product Managers on existing and forthcoming regulations, gaps, and risks and work with them to proactively address these
Ensure NorthAm has a full understanding of our regional control framework, local risks, and NorthAm control framework. This will be achieved through better control documentation, procedure uplift, and the maintenance of the regional product compliance manual
Give confidence to bank partners, auditors and regulators about our product offering and the associated NorthAM AML compliance program
This role will give you the opportunity to:
Grow your hands-on Fintech knowledge at full speed;
Keep compliance right at the heart of the product development cycle, in a fast-moving environment;
Be empowered to identify ‘regulatory problems’ and take a lead in the solution design and implementation;

Experience in supporting a maturing anti-financial crime program- moving from a start up to bank standard
Experience (or interest) in working in a fast-growing environment and working directly with product teams;
Willing to travel, as Wise offices are located across different countries; and

Some extra skills that would be great:
Experience with Confluence, Jira, Risk and Controls software
