As Group Product Compliance Lead, you will:

• Own compliance strategy and delivery across all of Wise for core domains such as payment processing, obligations to control mapping and verification standards
• Translate complex, multi-jurisdictional obligations into actionable product and engineering decisions

Requirements

We are looking for someone who:

• Has deep fintech compliance experience, with a track record of working directly in product teams, not alongside them
• Is comfortable in codebases, engineering discussions, and architecture reviews; not intimidated by technical complexity
• Can move between regulatory text and product specifications without losing either thread
• Is a strong communicator who can synthesise regulatory complexity into a clear position for non-specialists
• Is comfortable operating in ambiguity; capable of defining structure where none exists yet
• Has a track record of influencing decisions across legal, engineering, and product at senior levels
• Has familiarity with payment scheme rules (SEPA, SWIFT, domestic real-time rails)
• Has experience with multi-entity or multi-licence compliance structures
• Has working knowledge of KYC and identity verification frameworks and the product decisions that flow from them

We Offer

• Real ownership: you ship things, you don't just advise
• No regional or domain siloing; genuine cross-functional ownership spanning product, engineering, and compliance
• The chance to shape infrastructure and frameworks that will operate at company scale, affecting every Wise customer and licensed entity
• An exceptional cross-functional team across product, engineering, compliance, risk, and banking
