Company Description

We're looking for a Europe Money Movement Group Product Manager to join our growing Europe & UK team in London, Budapest or Tallinn. This role is a unique opportunity to have an impact on Wise's mission, grow as a product leader and empower millions more people with instant, borderless money.

Job Description

About the role

Your mission is to helpWise become the preferred choice of payments in Europe for people and businesses with international lives. You will be building and improving the money movement infrastructure for millions of customers who move money to and from Europe.

In 2025 Europe is opening up to direct access to local payment systems. As our Group Product Manager for the Europe Money Movement teams,you'll be at the forefront of figuring out how to extend the success of connecting directly to the UK's and Hungary's central payments infrastructures across the continent to deliver the best speed, price and transparency for our customers.

Here's how you'll contribute:
  1. Convenience: Removing reasons why people and businesses need to use their banks to move their money. You will build integrations and partnerships that improve end to end speed of transfers and localise the money movement experience for European customers.
  2. Scalability: Build a scalable money movement platform that reduces onboarding and offboarding time for our partners and effort required to maintain partner integrations. This allows us to ensure continuity of services for our customers.
  3. Resilience: Ensure seamless money transfers by enhancing our infrastructure's resilience at scale.


This role will give you the opportunity to:
  • 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 while being accountable for your decisions.
  • Build money without borders in Europe. You will be building a product that helps millions of businesses and customers send and receive money from their friends, family and partners in Europe.
  • Learn how European payment infrastructure works. You will get a chance to hands on build integrations directly into European payment systems and develop an expertise on how money moves in Europe.
  • Be on the forefront of solving a complex technical challenge. Wise is probably the only company integrated into payment systems of so many countries around the world, and the number will keep on growing. Scaling this infrastructure is a problem very few, if anyone, have solved before. You will be at the forefront of this problem, allowing you to flex your creative muscles to solve global money movement for our customers once and for all. You would most likely end up setting best practices not just for Wise but the industry at large.
  • Leadership. Building up scalable money movement infrastructure needs a common vision for at least 3 teams. You'll be expected to lead one of them directly and lead the Product Managers in the other two. You will start off as an individual contributor in one team, and throughout the course of the first 6-9 months start to lead the group of teams focused on money movement.
