This is vital for upholding regulatory requirements and internal policies. This position is ideal for individuals looking to develop their expertise in operations and contribute to the safety and integrity of Wise's services through robust information management.

Job Responsibilities

You'll ensure these responses are detailed, of high quality and accuracy and articulated with precision, providing valuable insights to both internal and external stakeholders. Ensure timely internal escalation to other teams in strict accordance with Wise policies and guidelines, and manage communication with partners with utmost care.
• Data Analysis: Review and interpret data to identify patterns and potential risks associated with financial crime. Support the team in making informed decisions based on data insights. Consolidate sets into clear, concise, and actionable reports suitable for submission, meeting all content and formatting standards.
• Documentation and Record Keeping: Maintain meticulous, accurate, and timely documentation for all RFI reviews and decisions. Ensure compliance with data privacy regulations, internal data security protocols, and keep comprehensive and clear audit trail of all actions taken, that can also withstand internal and external scrutiny.

• Team Collaboration: Develop and maintain productive and professional working relationships with colleagues, contributing to a positive and collaborative team environment. Participate in team meetings and training sessions.
• Communication: Communicate clearly, professionally, and empathetically with customers via approved channels to obtain necessary details or clarifications for reviews, always upholding our high customer experience standards. A key part of this involves avoiding unnecessary customer contacts and preventing delayed case resolutions. All communication must be precisely tailored to ensure clarity and efficiency. Maintain the highest communication standards with Wise's banking partners, ensuring professionalism and timely engagement, and extending the same professionalism and responsiveness to all internal communications.
• KPIs: Take a proactive approach to consistently achieve individual and team targets (KPIs, SLAs), demonstrating a strong commitment to both quality and speed. This includes meeting deadlines reliably, optimizing processing times, and taking full ownership and accountability for all responsibilities to deliver exceptional results.
• Other: Perform additional tasks as assigned by your lead, demonstrating adaptability and a proactive approach. This includes actively participating in meetings, training, and internal events to support broader team and company objectives.
