We’re looking for a Product Compliance and Risk Manager with a specialisation in financial crime to join our APAC Wise Platform team. This is a high impact, strategic role designed to move our financial crime framework beyond global baselines, deeply localising and scaling our products across APAC. This is a first line Product Compliance role, embedded in the APAC and Wise Platform Squad. You will not be managing operational alerts; instead, you will design systemic product controls that prevent financial crime at scale. Your scope includes:

Financial crime regulatory and control assessments

Own the WP control framework: Move our product compliance assessments from generic global baselines to bespoke, market-specific frameworks.

Rigorous rule testing: Execute rigorous testing of financial crime methodology and rules to verify that they are working appropriately, designing new controls where required.

Show full description

Retrospective and future-proofing: Lead deep-dive retrospectives on existing live products and partnerships while similarly setting up compliant compliance foundations for new products prior to launch.

Regional localisation and global alignment

APAC smart localisation: Specifically assess how global financial crime controls land in APAC. You will ensure local nuances, partner expectations, and regional regulations are deeply embedded into the core global WP framework.

Global voice: Act as the primary advocate for APAC Wise Platform Product Compliance within global infrastructure teams, ensuring regional risks are prioritised.

Strategic issue management and remediation

Proactive gap management: Identify, scope and resolve known and unknown gaps across our retail offering and specialised WP product solutions.

Risk-based prioritisation and resolution: Apply your financial crime and regulatory expertise to determine high impact issues to resolve on a timely basis.

Product, engineering and partner negotiation

Commercial enablement: Unblock our commercial and sales teams by applying a pragmatic, risk-based approach to institutional partner solutions.

Control design: Collaborate with global and regional Product and Engineering teams to translate regulatory needs into market-specific, technical product requirements.

Must have:

At least 6 years experience in regulatory assurance or financial crime compliance within a financial technology company; added bonus if focused on correspondent banking, remittance, financial services partnerships across APAC markets.

Ability to analyse and interpret complex regulatory frameworks and apply them effectively.

Problem solving attitude, with the ability to use regulation together with data to drive business decisions.

A natural owner that drives and delivers projects to completion proactively, timely and with attention to the details.

Nice to have:

A team player with a collaborative spirit and the ability to work effectively with different stakeholders such as Product, Commercial teams and Compliance.

Ability to effectively and clearly communicate and provide practical, actionable, and value added recommendations.

Willingness to travel, as Wise offices are located across different countries.

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.
