Job Description
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Squad to make a meaningful dent in global financial crime.
Wise moves £145B+ annually across borders and customers love us for how easy and how cheap it is. You know who else loves moving money cheaply across borders? Criminals looking to launder proceeds of crime.
This is where you come in. Our vision is clean money without borders. We have made great progress in developing a general crime catching machine learning model, and now we need to dig deeper, and get a whole lot more specific. You’ll dive deep into criminal typologies, become an expert in how international crime takes place, and build advanced systems that catch hyper-targeted, regional, criminal behaviour.
About the team
The AML Squad works across our offices in London and Tallinn. We are growing the Squad, and adding new teams to make faster progress in our fight against crime. You’ll be joining one of the crossfunctional product teams in the squad.
The AML Squad owns all anti-money laundering, terrorism financing and human exploitation typologies and risks. This includes customer risk scoring, live risk detection, investigations and reporting to Financial Intelligence Units across the globe.
We measure success by two metrics: AML Recall and Cost of Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).
AML Recall measures how much of the crime we actually catch. We want this to be as high as possible, and are rapidly expanding our coverage of hyper specific crime detection in addition to our already strong general model.
Cost of SAR measures how much it costs us to detect, investigate and report a criminal to the relevant authorities. We want this to be as low as possible, and are investing a lot in high precision automation including some cool stuff with LLMs.
You’ll own the challenge of
Setting new standards of preventing and live detecting hyper specific and regional crime at scale, in a way that satisfies our regulatory obligations globally and works financially for our business.
Working with regional compliance officers (known in the industry as the second line of defense) to deliver global controls that have a strong reputation with local regulators and law enforcement.
Working with data scientists, product analysts, system and product designers, and developers to ensure the team ship the best possible product.
This role will give you the opportunity to
A bit about you:
Base salary gross annually (based on experience, level & interview outcomes)
Tallinn (EUR): 69,000 -84,000
London (GBP): 88,000-118,000
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.
Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.
