Company Description

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money.
Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.

Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.

As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.
For everyone, everywhere.

More about our mission and what we offer.


Job Description

We're looking for a Payments Partnerships Manager to accelerate Wise's global expansion by building and managing strategic payment partnerships across acquirers and card networks that directly impact our ability to serve millions of customers worldwide. You will be the driving force behind managing acquiring and card related partnerships that enables our customers to spend their money seamlessly across borders while saving on fees. This isn't just about managing partnerships - you'll be building the card payment ecosystem that powers Wise's growth, while bringing together product, commercial strategy, and regulatory compliance to unlock new markets and capabilities


What you'll be doing:

• Lead strategic partnership management with acquiring and card network partners, negotiating commercial terms that directly impact our unit economics and market competitiveness

• Research and launch local payment scheme partnerships, focusing on opportunities that will drive the most customer adoption and revenue

• Monitor partnership performance and continuously improve our payment infrastructure based on what's working and what isn't

• Partner with product and engineering teams to turn partnership deals into product features that customers can actually use


What you'll bring:

• 5+ years in financial partnerships, payments, or fintech with real experience in acquiring, card issuance, or payment infrastructure

• You're good at negotiating deals and have actually secured good terms with payment providers, card schemes, and banks

• You understand how payments work - card issuance, acquiring, OCT processing, BIN sponsorships, and compliance requirements

• You can analyse partnership opportunities and make smart decisions about which ones to prioritise

• You've managed relationships across different countries and know how to work with varying regulations

• You're comfortable working independently and can take projects from idea to completion


It would be ideal, but not essential if you:

• Have worked at a fast-growing fintech or payments company

• Bring deep card network experience from both acquiring and issuing


Additional Information

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.
