Job Description
The LATAM & MEA team is responsible for 50+ markets across both regions. The team maintains our customer experience and infrastructure that moves billions of customer money every quarter.
We’ve seen strong growth in LATAM & MEA, and you as a PM will be responsible for:
Convenience: Making remittance as simple as domestic payments. You will build integrations and partnerships that improve end to end speed of transfers and localise the money movement experience for customers sending money to and from LatAm & MEA.
Scalability & Resilience: Build a scalable money movement platform that can grow with our customer base. Ensure seamless money transfers by enhancing our infrastructure’s resilience at scale.
Expand: Decide what new markets to launch. What use cases can we serve? How do we differentiate? You will be empowered to make decisions that shape the direction of wise.
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 for LatAm & MEA. You will be building a product that helps millions of businesses and customers send and receive money from their friends, family and partners to and from LatAm & MEA.
- 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.
