What problems are we solving

A bit about you (attributes)

• Big Thinker - you're willing to challenge the status quo, speak up and help others see things from other perspectives
• Collaboration - relationships get you out of bed in the morning, building and fostering them over time. Also not afraid to challenge and say no, without creating damage
• Data Driven - you'll always start with data, facts and insights to help inform your approach to solving problems and analysing needs. You have a high proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint and can use data to provide insights, inform decisions and visualise it to influence others through storytelling.
• Initiative - we're not a 'one size fits all' kind of business and we're not looking for off the shelf solutions; we need you to think creatively and be flexible in your outlook
• Resilience - you need to be comfortable being challenged and keeping cool and calm through times of adversity
• Change agent - the skills and desire to change the status quo for the better. These should include the ability to manage all elements of organisational transformation, facilitation, and training.
• Employee Relations - use knowledge to coach and advise managers and drive necessary actions. With tested mediation skills, you can guide managers in supporting conflict resolution.
• Communication – You are an effective and thoughtful communicator who is able to understand diverse perspectives and vary your communication style based on the circumstance.

What you've done before Wise

• People partnered in a high growth environment - this'll help you know how to deal with ambiguity and shifting priorities, plus you'll need to have experience of working closely with a scaling, global team
• Developed a broad range of expertise and skills - so no matter the challenge (a restructure, salary benchmarking, skills gap, employee relations, etc) you can bring thought leadership and take ownership
• Project management - you'll be strongly solutions focused, able to identify problems and drive initiatives that have a measurable impact
• Regional / multi-site experience - you're experienced supporting Leads and employees split across geographies and timezones. One of your super powers is being able to adapt to many different cultures and backgrounds

We're people without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background. So if you're passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you'll fit right in.

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.
