Over 16 million people and businesses use Wise, which processes over £9 billion in cross-border transactions every month, saving customers over £1.5 billion a year. We serve a wide range of customers from personal users, freelancers, small businesses and increasingly even to large enterprises and banks. Wise also offers over 50 currencies for customers to hold and convert money in.
As an Associate Product Manager joining the Product Academy, you will be placed in one of our teams that both power Wise and ensure our customers have a safe and convenient experience when using us. You will get to build your skills in Product Management through a tailored learning program in combination with executing on real problems.

Job Description

What is Product Academy?

  • It’s a 10 week tailored programme in which every week you will get to spend time both on dedicated sessions to learn about Product Management, and also with learning on the job by working on your own projects/products.

  • You will start working on your domain (i.e. the team you are hired into), but spend most of Monday and Friday with Product Academy.

  • Every week will have a topic - Mondays will be more for presentations, and by the end of it you will get an assignment that you need to work on until Friday. On Friday, you present your results!

  • For every topic, our goal is to talk about the generic concept, the Wise specific and also the practical bits (tools, real examples).

This will include exciting bits, such as:

  • Product vision, strategy & roadmap

  • OKRs, KPIs & Measuring

  • Stakeholder management

  • Planning

  • Agile development, working with developers

… And many others!

This role will give you the opportunity to:

  • Transition to the world of product management - you will have a tailored learning program delivered by some of the most experience product people at Wise who will cover a broad range of topics

  • Apply what you learn to real world problems - you will be working with engineers and other stakeholders to clarify the problem, decide on the best solution and build it, measure and iterate on what you have built 

  • Have a measurable impact in a PM role - While you will have tailored learning programs, you will still spend a significant amount of your time working in a cross functional team as any other PM at Wise - and through this have a measurable impact on Wise’s customers and mission

  • Work across the entire product lifecycle - you will go through the entire lifecycle of a product, from problem hypothesis and validation to solution implementation, measurement and iteration.

What the Team is Saying

The Company
HQ: Austin, TX
6,000 Employees
Hybrid Workplace
Year Founded: 2011

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
