    • Partnering with 'first line' teams - primarily the CTO organisation and supporting Wise Platform teams as well as our Product squads, to provide risk support in the assessment of systems and infrastructure risk and security risk, including in the development of new products and features by embedding good risk practices and finding solutions to problems, identifying risks and recommending controls.
    • Playing a key role in the management of technology and security related risk incidents and issues that occur
    • Supporting the development and implementation of technology risk policies, procedures, key risk indicators, and appetite statements
    • Conducting in-depth reviews of different areas of the business, their adoption and implementation of technology, and reporting on risk matters to oversight committees
    • Reviewing and assessing changes to Wise's technology platform and products that affect our company risk profile
    • Promoting and helping embed a strong risk culture, making risk meaningful and relevant to everyone at Wise

    • You have deep expertise in technology platforms and products used by financial services organisations
    • Experience of digital and technology risk and control assessments
    • Experience working with working with technology teams to improve system security, develop incident response plans, and implement data protection measures
    • The ability to think creatively when resolving problems to identify alternatives where established procedures may not exist
    • You are confident and credible in interactions with business stakeholders (engineering, product, security, operations) with deep technical expertise to provide challenge, support and oversight of risk matters.
    • You are comfortable with data analysis and data-driven problem solving and solutionising
    • You have experience supporting risk assessments and/or operational risk event capture and analysis and finding new and innovative ways to do things.
    • You're resilient and comfortable working in a fast paced environment where the day to day job differs
    • You are hands-on, a strong influencer, stakeholder manager, great at execution, and focussed on the detail
    • You're curious and collaborative - you're great at asking incisive questions to pick things up and act on them quickly outcomes
