Responsibilities

  • Wise is on a mission to build money without borders, making moving and managing money instant, convenient, transparent, and eventually free. At the heart of this mission is our ability to report financials with absolute integrity and speed.
  • We are looking for an analyst to sit at the intersection of Data Analytics and Financial Reporting. You aren’t here to do traditional accounting; you are here to build the data infrastructure and automation that ensures our financial statements are accurate, consistent, and audit-ready as we scale globally.
  • What will you be working on
  • Metric Ownership & Data Logic: Define and own the logic for key performance metrics. You will ensure there is clear attribution for every line item that manifests in our financials. At Wise, analysts have end-to-end ownership of data pipelines so you will also manage orchestration and validation.
  • System & Ledger Integration: Ensure data flows seamlessly between our internal data lakes and reporting tools (like Anaplan and Planful). You’ll be the expert on how data maps from our internal systems to the General Ledger.
  • Audit Data Architecture: Act as the primary bridge for our auditors by structuring complex data extracts. You’ll build the "source of truth" queries that prove our financial integrity.
  • Stakeholder Partnership: Work closely with Finance leadership to provide structured reporting that ensures consistency across Wise’s various financial disclosures.
  • What do you need
  • Data Mastery: You have a strong quantitative foundation and are comfortable navigating massive and complex datasets. You can write optimized SQL queries to extract "financial truth". Exposure to other technical skills considered a plus (Dbt, Python, Airflow, BI tools).
  • Foundational Finance Literacy: You don’t need to have a finance/ accounting background, but you are comfortable with basic financial concepts. You understand the Balance sheet and P&L statements, and understand how transactions result in a ledger.
  • Technical Agility: You are a quick learner when it comes to tools. Whether it's internal data platforms or tools like Anaplan/Planful, you enjoy mastering new systems to improve data quality.
  • The "Find a Way" Mindset: You are an individual who thrives on autonomy. You don’t wait for a ticket; you identify gaps in reporting efficiency and you build the solution.

Benefits

  • Growth: We have a clear Analytics Career Map. There is a clear path for progression and a budget for your self-development.
  • Generous stock options (RSUs) in a growing public company.
  • Flexible working model (Office/Home hybrid).
  • Paid 6-week sabbatical after 4 years of service.
  • Annual development budget and "Me-days."
