About the role:
We are looking for a tech-forward, analytical, and autonomous Finance Manager to join our Regional Finance team in Austin! In this role, you will play a critical part in scaling our North American operations, with a specific focus on supporting a growing and dynamic set of new products, including Wise Assets. You will help us navigate the complex financial, operational, and regulatory architecture of introducing cutting-edge wealth and investment features to millions of customers.
You will assist in growing our finance capabilities to steer the organization in the right direction, ensuring absolute compliance with local accounting, regulatory, and tax requirements. This is an individual contributor role reporting directly to the NorthAm Regional Controller offering immense cross-functional exposure across our global compliance, product, and data teams.
You have a genuine passion for what we’re building at Wise and our mission of money without borders, thriving in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where you remain comfortable operating with a high level of uncertainty and acting decisively. As a "roll-up-your-sleeves" operator, you are equally comfortable setting high-level control frameworks as you are digging into raw data to investigate a discrepancy, all while remaining humble, open to continuous self-development, and eager to learn new tools, frameworks, and skills.
Your mission:
Regulatory & Compliance Partnership: Partner with Accounting, Regulatory Reporting, Regional Controllers, and Compliance teams to deliver compliant and highly accurate reporting with clear definitions and robust change management.
Financial Reporting: Compile and own monthly, quarterly, and yearly reports for submission to North American regulatory authorities. Seamlessly support ad-hoc financial reporting and analysis requests.
Audit & Exam Management: Act as a key finance stakeholder during regulatory examinations and external financial audits, working closely with Compliance and Regional Controllers to provide clean, verifiable financial data.
Financial Controls: Assist the Regional Finance team in performing day-to-day oversight of our North American legal entities, analyzing financial results, and ensuring necessary internal financial controls are strictly executed.
Systems & Process Scalability: Collaborate with global finance engineering and product teams to ensure our financial systems, automated controls, and reporting processes are fully optimized for regional requirements.
This role will give you the opportunity to:
Own your path to success: Enjoy a high level of autonomy and responsibility. We trust our team to execute without micro-management.
Build for the future: Help design and build efficient automated reporting and financial control processes from the ground up, gaining elite fintech experience that opens doors globally.
Operate at the cutting edge: Work within an international, hyper-growth Finance Team and learn what it takes to drive the financial sustainability of a truly global disruptive fintech.
What You Bring:
Experience: 4+ years of relevant experience in financial controlling, financial audit, financial reporting, or management accounting.
Technical Accounting: A strong foundational understanding of accounting principles with hands-on knowledge of both IFRS and US GAAP.
Data Literacy: Proven experience working with massive, raw datasets and building data-driven financial reports for complex, transaction-heavy businesses.
Stakeholder Management: Experience dealing with internal or external stakeholders on a regular basis, effectively communicating financial reports, data definitions, and requirements.
Beyond Excel: You are comfortable moving beyond standard spreadsheets to query and analyze data directly (experience with SQL is a plus)
Execution & Detail: Exceptional financial reporting and analytical skills. You are accurate, detail-oriented, obsessed with data integrity, and thrive on beating tight regulatory deadlines.
Communication: Able to translate complex financial, tax, and regulatory issues into clear, succinct insights for both internal executive stakeholders and external regulators.
Self-Starter Mindset: An organized professional who can independently structure their day, prioritize competing deliverables, and drive projects to completion.
Nice to Have:
Experience working within a broker-dealer, regulated financial institution, or fintech company.
Prior Big 4 accounting or consulting experience.
An active CPA, CFA, or equivalent professional qualification.

Compliance Senior Manager
Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money.
Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.
Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.
As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.
For everyone, everywhere.
More about our mission and what we offer.
At Wise, we believe the teams closest to risk should own the controls and monitoring that keep our products compliant. Strong second-line Compliance oversight helps make that monitoring sharper, more consistent, and more effective. We are looking for a Senior Regulatory Compliance Manager to join the North America Compliance team and lead 2LOD oversight of regulatory compliance monitoring. This role will focus on building a scalable, data-led, AI-enabled monitoring oversight framework in partnership with 1LOD teams, Product Compliance, Risk, Operations, and the Analytics team.
This is not a traditional compliance testing role. The role is focused on monitoring oversight: defining what good monitoring looks like, challenging whether coverage is sufficient, helping teams convert regulatory obligations into recurring indicators and workflows, and ensuring exceptions are escalated and remediated appropriately.
Duties and responsibilities:
Lead the development of Wise’s North America regulatory monitoring oversight framework, aligned with global methodology, CMS expectations, and regulatory priorities.
Define standards for effective 1LOD-owned monitoring, including coverage expectations, data requirements, thresholds, escalation triggers, documentation, evidence retention, and issue handoff.
Partner closely with Analytics and 1LOD teams to design recurring monitoring workflows, dashboards, alerts, exception reports, AI-assisted reviews, and analytics routines.
Oversee monitoring coverage across key NorthAm regulatory obligations, including Regulation E, UDAAP, E-SIGN, BSA/AML/FinCrime, state Money Transmission License requirements, MSB obligations, Reg W, complaints, disclosures, customer communications, operational processes, and remediation commitments.
Challenge whether 1LOD monitoring is appropriately designed, consistently executed, sufficiently documented, and responsive to emerging risks.
Where needed, build or co-build interim monitoring workflows with Analytics, including clear documentation, ownership mapping, training, maintenance expectations, and transition plans for 1LOD handoff.
Translate regulatory obligations, examination findings, audit/testing results, incidents, complaints, product changes, and remediation commitments into practical monitoring indicators and oversight routines.
Review monitoring outputs to identify themes, exceptions, control weaknesses, customer harm patterns, production issues, and emerging regulatory risks.
Ensure monitoring exceptions are investigated, escalated, tracked, and remediated through appropriate governance channels.
Produce clear reporting for Compliance leadership, committees, board-level materials, and regulatory examination readiness.
Help define how Wise uses AI and automation responsibly within compliance monitoring, including appropriate governance, QA, human review, and documentation.
- 7+ years of experience in compliance monitoring, compliance risk management, control oversight, audit analytics, operational risk, regulatory compliance, financial crimes monitoring, or related financial services roles.
Strong understanding of US consumer protection and financial services regulations, including Reg E, UDAAP, E-Sign, BSA/AML/FinCrime, state Money Transmission/MSB requirements, and related regulatory expectations.
Proven ability to build or enhance monitoring programs, oversight frameworks, KRI routines, dashboards, exception management processes, control monitoring, or compliance analytics.
Strong analytics fluency. You do not need to be a data scientist, but you should be able to frame monitoring questions, interpret data, challenge data quality, partner with analytics teams, and turn trends into regulatory judgment.
Experience partnering with technology, analytics, product, operations, or engineering teams to turn risk questions into repeatable workflows.
Comfort with AI, automation, or workflow tooling, including appropriate governance, documentation, QA, and human review.
Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to turn complex regulatory and data-driven insights into clear, practical narratives.
Legally authorized to work in the US
Nice to haves:
J.D., CRCM, CAMS, MBA, analytics certification, AI certification, or similar credential.
Experience with SQL, Snowflake, Lightdash, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Jira, Confluence, GitHub, AuditBoard/Optro, Archer, or similar tools.
Experience designing AI-assisted monitoring, alerting, surveillance, issue detection, compliance review, or exception management workflows.
Prior experience at a payments company, neobank, MSB, or high-growth fintech.
Financial crimes monitoring experience, especially involving analytics, typologies, alerting, governance, or cross-regional monitoring frameworks.
Familiarity with formal Compliance Management System frameworks.
Canadian regulatory knowledge: FINTRAC requirements, provincial MSB licensing
Experience managing or mentoring junior compliance staff
Former regulator, audit, regulatory remediation, or supervisory exam experience.
A bit about you:
You see monitoring as an early-warning system, not a reporting exercise.
You are a builder, but you understand that durable monitoring must ultimately sit with the teams closest to the risk. You can build, document, train, transition, and then provide effective oversight.
You are data-curious and hands-on. You are comfortable working with analytics partners, exploring data, shaping dashboards, reviewing exceptions, and asking sharper questions when the numbers do not make sense.
You understand that AI can make compliance monitoring stronger, but only if it is governed, documented, reviewed, and tied to real regulatory judgment.
You care about customer outcomes and can connect operational signals to potential regulatory risk.
You are credible with senior stakeholders, practical with product and operations teams, and willing to challenge when the evidence points to a problem.
You bring ownership, integrity, intellectual curiosity, good humor under pressure, and a strong instinct for what a modern compliance function should become.
Some travel to NYC, and potentially London for global compliance collaboration, may be required.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.
