You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams and lead our efforts in delivering regulatory reporting, helping ensure Wise remains compliant as we scale. You’ll also help shape and evolve our second-line compliance framework, providing critical insights to product, operations, and leadership teams, and helping embed compliance into everything we do.

If you're passionate about systems that make compliance smart, scalable, and transparent—and you’re excited to work at the intersection of tech and financial services regulation—we’d love to hear from you.

Your mission:

Your responsibilities will include:

• Regulatory Reporting: Manage US and Canada regulatory reporting, ensuring timely and accurate submission of ongoing and ad hoc reporting requests

• License Maintenance: Lead the preparation and management of all US and Canada license renewals and annual reporting, ensuring timely and accurate submissions.

• Regulatory RFIs: Intake and coordinate response to all requests for information (RFIs), ensuring timely and accurate submission.  

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams to gather and  harmonize data

• Record Retention: Ensure all supporting records are retained in compliance with all regulatory requirements

• Regulatory Engagements: Support the Compliance team in completing periodic regulatory engagements. 

About you: 

• Knowledge of money transmission, unclaimed property, and consumer compliance regulations (Reg E, UDAAP, E-Sign Act, etc.)

• 3 years experience in licensing and / or regulatory reporting,  including experience:

  • Utilizing NMLS and US / Canadian state and territory portals and processes to deliver ad hoc and ongoing regulatory reporting

  • Working with internal cross-functional stakeholders including product, operation, finance, legal, and people teams

  • Communicating effectively with external stakeholders including auditors and regulators

• Very detail-oriented

• Ability to meet tight deadlines

• Discretion and personal integrity, especially in regards to sensitive financial, personal, and corporate information

• Ability to be both reactive and help solve problems in the moment as well as proactive, building longer term solutions using data-driven decision making

• Experience (or interest) in working at a fast-paced internet, technology, or financial services companies in risk or compliance

• Experience using G-Suite, Office, Confluence, Jira and collaborative tools (e.g. Slack, Teams)

• Willing to travel, as Wise offices are located across different countries; and

• Legally authorized to work in the U.S.

Some extra skills that would be great: 

• Experience working in the Money Services Business (MSB) industry

• Experience working with international teams and understanding of global regulatory environments.

• Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager or similar qualification

• Prior experience working with the CFPB, OCC, and/or state regulator (e.g. NYDFS, DFPI)

We’re people without borders — without judgment 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.

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.
Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
