Job DescriptionWe are seeking an experienced Threat Intelligence Analyst to join our Threat Intelligence Unit (TIU). In this role, you will analyze, synthesize, and leverage the complex tactical, operational, and strategic signals gathered through our Intelligence Collection Framework (ICF) to protect Wise and our global customer base from sophisticated fraud and financial crime.
Your Mission: Serving as the definitive analytical shield of the TIU, you will assess the scale, scope, and severity of the threats targeting our platform. You will translate raw indicators into robust, first-line defense capabilities by developing preventative controls and detective rules. Utilizing structured kill-chain modeling, you will map fraud vectors end-to-end to isolate mitigation opportunities, collaborating cross-functionally across Wise to proactively neutralize risks.
Key Responsibilities
Threat Assessment & Quantification: Analyze signals harvested by the ICF to evaluate Wise's exposure to specific vectors, leveraging large-scale datasets to quantify and qualify the nature of emerging threats.
Defensive Rule & Feature Development: Engineer and deploy sophisticated detection rules and behavioral features in response to tactical Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), actively shielding vulnerable customers and identifying accounts at risk.
Kill-Chain Modeling: Map out complex financial crime and fraud vectors using structured kill-chain frameworks, identifying strategic intervention and mitigation points across every stage of the attack lifecycle.
Cross-Functional Strategy Execution: Partner with diverse business units across Wise to design and execute comprehensive response strategies for high-impact threats, transitioning seamlessly from immediate tactical fixes to long-term strategic changes.
Framework & Investigative Support: Provide data-driven insights to steer the future direction of the ICF and support the TIU’s investigative function in identifying and tracking malicious actor activity.
Qualifications & Experience
Analytical Expertise: Significant experience in fraud and/or financial crime analysis, possessing a deep technical understanding of diverse attack typologies and their operational impact across various customer segments.
Strategic Control Deployment: Substantial experience developing counter-fraud strategies, specifically through the creation, testing, and deployment of rules, models, and features, alongside a proven ability to influence key stakeholders.
Strategic Mindset: A sophisticated, counter-adversarial approach to risk detection and threat modeling.
Technical Data Proficiency: Proficiency in extracting, manipulating, and analyzing large-scale datasets using SQL, Python, or similar data science methodologies to produce structured, analytical outputs.
Communication & Translation: Demonstrated capability to map end-to-end attacks and articulate complex threat technicalities to diverse audiences—ranging from engineering and analytical teams to product owners, policy writers, and executive leadership.
Desirable Credentials: Prior experience with external networks (industry trust groups, public-private partnerships, or law enforcement), cyber kill-chain mapping, or certifications such as SANS training, ACAMS, ACFE, or ICA are highly advantageous.
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.
