  • Design control testing plans and evaluate compliance with rules and regulations.

  • Audit & Examination Management: Assist with the preparation and coordination of regulatory examinations and audits, ensuring timely and accurate responses.​

  • Work with teams to ensure regulatory compliance issues are remediated in line with agreed timelines.

  • You proactively communicate solutions to address control gaps or how our processes can be enhanced. 

  • Work with teams to educate them about the US and CA regulatory requirements, and empower teams to build risk based processes which are clearly documented. 

  • Oversee and maintain a healthy compliance culture throughout the organisation.

  • Adapt your focus on different compliance issues depending on growth plans and compliance needs.

About you: 

  • Previous monitoring and testing experience in Financial Services Regulation within a Compliance/Legal department, Risk and Controls function or in a consultancy environment;  

  • Familiar with regulations and processes related to Financial Crime, Reg E, UDAAP, E-Sign Act, and state Money Transmission License regulations;

  • Ability to analyze and interpret complex regulatory frameworks and apply them effectively;

  • Ability to effectively communicate with Product Managers and Engineers and provide practical, actionable, and value added recommendations; 

  • Strong presentation skills;

  • Problem solving attitude, with the ability to use regulations together with data to drive business decisions; 

  • Experience (or interest) in working in a fast-growing environment; 

  • Willing to travel, as Wise offices are located across different countries; and

  • Legally authorized to work in the U.S.

Some extra skills that would be great: 

  • Familiarity with tools such as Excel, Confluence, Jira, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platforms.

Also, qualifications aren’t that important to us. If you’ve got great experience, and you’re great at articulating your thinking, we’d like to hear from you.

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic.
