\nMin fees. Max ease. Full speed.

Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.

As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.

More about our mission and what we offer.

We are looking for an experienced, commercially driven Partnerships Manager to join our Strategic Partnerships team in London. You will be part of a tribe that is passionate about thinking differently and getting things done.

This is a new role within a Global team. We are looking for a strategic operator who is not fazed by rapid pace and loves a challenge. You will be making big decisions on where Wise invests time and resources. We will be looking for you to run targeted tests and then scale when you find out what works.

The goal will be to use your commercial talents to unlock new groups of customers who have a need for Wise, but didn't know enough about us to use us before.

We are looking for someone to hit the ground running; to develop our strategic consumer partnerships framework and to work closely with internal marketing teams (e.g. brand, PR, social, regional) to ensure this new plan fits within our regional marketing strategy.

Note: this is not a Wise Platform role.
