• You’ll be connecting with your sponsor, fellow interns, and the broader User Experience Design community to inject fresh creative thinking into the business

• Meet with some of the most influential people at Wise on this programme
• Contribute to the Wise mission in a collaborative, supportive environment
• Be mentored by a discipline expert
• Develop your craft and experiment in a live environment
• Share back your work post internship with your programme
• A competitive internship salary

About you: 

There are core behaviours we are looking for across all disciplines. You are:

• A self starter, taking initiative and keeping relevant partners in the loop
• Possess strong analytical, assessment and problem solving skills
• Have the ability to contextualise and build a narrative around your work
• Open to feedback, great at implementing it back into your work
• Interested and familiar with technology and digital products

What you get back:

🚀 Experience working in one of the fastest growing European FinTechs
🏃‍♀️ Lots of team activities
💸 Salary £28,000 (pro-rata)
🙌 Fun offices with social activities – have a sneak peak of life in our London office!

We’re people without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background. So if you’re passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you’ll fit right in.

Also, qualifications aren’t that important to us. If you’ve got great experience, and you’re great at articulating your thinking, we’d like to hear from you.

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic.
