More about our mission and what we offer.


Job Description

We are looking for a brilliant problem-solver to lead the transformation of our entire third-party management and procurement landscape. This isn't about writing code; it's about deeply understanding our business challenges and designing elegant, automated solutions using our powerful suite of platforms.

You will be the one of the key figures who connects our Third-Party Risk, Legal, Procurement, and Finance teams, acting as the expert translator between their business needs and our technology's capabilities. You'll break down complex needs into logical steps and then use your deep platform knowledge to build seamless, intelligent workflows. While you won't manage people, you will lead the most critical cross-functional processes in Wise, making us faster, smarter, and safer.

What You'll Do

Your responsibilities will span the full lifecycle of a solution, from initial idea to long-term success. Your key activities will include:

  • Strategize & Design: You will lead initiatives with senior stakeholders to map some complex, end-to-end processes, identify the true sources of friction, and design simpler, scalable workflows that create a great user experience.

  • Build & Automate: You will perform hands-on configuration of our platforms to build, test, and deploy the automated solutions you designed, leveraging practical AI capabilities where they can make a real impact.

  • Integrate & Report: You will oversee the flow of data between our key systems by collaborating closely with integration teams, and build the data solutions that give leadership clear, real-time insights into risk and efficiency.

  • Enable & Govern: You will be responsible for the solution from creation to ongoing management, including documentation, team training, driving adoption, and overseeing platform health and governance.

Success in This Role Looks Like:

  • A dramatic reduction in manual processes and a shorter, simpler vendor onboarding and procurement process.

  • High user adoption of, and satisfaction with, the new platforms and processes.

  • Stakeholders have clear, reliable data and dashboards, with a focus on KPIs to drive decisions.

  • You effectively collaborate with key stakeholders, learn from their feedback, and are seen as the trusted advisor for improving all third-party processes.


Qualifications

You are a natural problem-solver who excels at turning complex business challenges into simple, automated solutions. You thrive on untangling messy workflows and are a master of both process design and platform technology. This role is a great fit if you have:

  • Deep Process Expertise: Proven skill in mapping business processes (e.g., BPMN) and redesigning them from a user-centric perspective.

  • Domain Knowledge: Demonstrable expertise in the procurement and/or third-party risk management lifecycle. You know the key steps, challenges, and control points inside and out.

  • Hands-On Platform Mastery: Experience configuring and administering major enterprise platforms (like CLM, TPRM, or Procurement systems) without writing custom code. We’ll help you get up to speed on our specific internal tools.

  • A Systems Integration Mindset: The ability to see how different systems should connect and to collaborate effectively with technical integration teams.

  • Exceptional Communication Skills: You excel at listening to stakeholder needs, articulating complex ideas in simple terms, and guiding diverse groups toward a common solution.


Additional Information

Why Join Us?

  • You’ll be stepping into a dynamic role that offers new challenges and opportunities to make an impact.

  • With our supportive team environment, you’ll have the freedom to propose new ideas and see them come to life.

  • We are a small but fast-growing team that allows great performers to advance quickly and be highly visible.

  • You can learn and directly contribute to program and process enhancements.

  • You are ready to face challenges in a dynamic environment where we view challenges as opportunities.

If you're interested in the position, please apply at the latest by 6th of Oct 2025 by submitting your CV and Cover Letter. In your cover letter, please answer the following questions:

Imagine Wise already uses a modern tool for our vendor InfoSec (Information Security) assessments. However, the process is still slow. Our key bottleneck is that it takes vendors a very long time to fill out the security questionnaires, which delays the end to end onboarding process.

Your first task is to solve this. Instead of jumping to a final answer, please outline your approach:

  1. What are the first few steps you would take to diagnose why the vendors are so slow to complete the assessments?

  2. Based on what you might find, briefly describe two different types of solutions you would propose. (For example, one solution might be a process change, while another could be a technical change within our existing tool).

For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.
Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
