What is a Risk Analyst at Wise?
At Wise, the mission is to make money move across borders instantly, transparently, and eventually for free. Operating a global financial network of this scale requires maintaining absolute trust with regulators, banking partners, and millions of active customers. As a Risk Analyst, you are the frontline defender of this ecosystem, ensuring that the platform remains secure, compliant, and hostile to financial criminals while maintaining a seamless experience for legitimate users.
You will sit at the intersection of operations, compliance, and product. Your decisions directly impact Wise's ability to operate in various jurisdictions, as you will actively identify, investigate, and mitigate risks associated with money laundering, fraud, terrorist financing, and sanctions evasion. Whether you are analyzing complex corporate structures or investigating anomalous transaction patterns, your work ensures that Wise grows safely without compromising its core values.
This role is highly dynamic but demands exceptional operational rigor. You will navigate a fast-paced environment where compliance guidelines change rapidly, requiring you to make high-stakes decisions under tight time constraints. It is a challenging but deeply rewarding position where your analytical skills directly contribute to the safety and integrity of global financial infrastructure.
