Principal / Group Product Manager - Assets

Your Mission

Holding money with a bank is un-transparent and unfair. It is untransparent because you don’t know what the bank is doing with your money, who they are lending it to and how much they are making from it. It is unfair because they provide you with free services which you don’t know how much they cost to provide and give you almost zero return for holding your money with them. Unfortunately, as interest rates have increased around the world, this problem is getting worse as banks pocket a greater share of this income.

The Wise Account is our antidote to holding money in a bank. With our Assets product we enable our customers to decide how they want to hold their money. They can choose what it is invested in and what return it makes. We then charge a fair and transparent fee before returning the rest to them. It’s simple; it is our customers' money so they should benefit from the return it generates.

We have already launched this disruptive new product in the UK, Europe and Singapore. We need someone to come and help us take this to the next level and provide these services to millions more people around the world. 

Care to help us?

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to Wise

• Create and launch a new version of the ‘current account’ by enabling customers to get a return on their money while continuing to spend and send without restrictions
• You’ll be working closely with Designers, Researchers, Developers, Compliance and Analysts to enable the team to make informed decisions and inspire the highest standards of execution
• You’ll report to the Account product lead, whose role is to help you find your own path to having a massive impact on the Wise mission

This role will give you the opportunity to

• Directly contribute to our mission to make money without borders the new normal – you will need to figure out and build solutions so that our customers can move money instantly, conveniently, transparently, and – eventually – for free
• Build world-class products: The role is a unique opportunity to build innovative, state-of-the-art solutions with a global impact
• Choose your path to impact – we believe people are most empowered when they can act autonomously. So rather than telling you what to do, you’ll work with your team to create a vision of your own. Of course, you can always gather feedback from smart, curious people across Wise but you’ll have the freedom to make your own calls
• Grow as a leader – You will build and inspire your own team, but also other teams to contribute to our mission.
• Inspire teams from the entire company with your ideas, knowledge and self-starting attitude
