More about our mission and what we offer.
Job DescriptionWe're looking for a Payments Partnerships Manager to accelerate Wise's global expansion by building and managing strategic payment partnerships across acquirers and card networks that directly impact our ability to serve millions of customers worldwide. You will be the driving force behind managing acquiring and card related partnerships that enables our customers to spend their money seamlessly across borders while saving on fees. This isn't just about managing partnerships - you'll be building the card payment ecosystem that powers Wise's growth, while bringing together product, commercial strategy, and regulatory compliance to unlock new markets and capabilities
What you'll be doing:
• Lead strategic partnership management with acquiring and card network partners, negotiating commercial terms that directly impact our unit economics and market competitiveness
• Research and launch local payment scheme partnerships, focusing on opportunities that will drive the most customer adoption and revenue
• Monitor partnership performance and continuously improve our payment infrastructure based on what's working and what isn't
• Partner with product and engineering teams to turn partnership deals into product features that customers can actually use
What you'll bring:
• 5+ years in financial partnerships, payments, or fintech with real experience in acquiring, card issuance, or payment infrastructure
• You're good at negotiating deals and have actually secured good terms with payment providers, card schemes, and banks
• You understand how payments work - card issuance, acquiring, OCT processing, BIN sponsorships, and compliance requirements
• You can analyse partnership opportunities and make smart decisions about which ones to prioritise
• You've managed relationships across different countries and know how to work with varying regulations
• You're comfortable working independently and can take projects from idea to completion
It would be ideal, but not essential if you:
• Have worked at a fast-growing fintech or payments company
• Bring deep card network experience from both acquiring and issuing

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
We’re making a positive, irreversible change in the world of finance. Together.
People on every continent around the world are choosing Wise to help them live, travel and work internationally. We’re the fairest, easiest way to send money overseas.
Built by and for people who live global lives, we make sending money abroad up to 8 times cheaper than the bank. This is money without borders - instant, convenient, transparent and eventually free.
For our customers, using Wise is as simple as sending money from A to B, but behind our app and website is a complex engine of currencies and routes, that’s being designed, built and powered by our talented teams in cities around the world.
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.
Why Work With Us
We are a mission-driven company, looking to change banking for the better. Current banking systems don’t let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply. So, we’re building a new one. If you're looking for an autonomous work environment, where you'll face cool challenges, learn and grow, you'll like working at Wise
