More about our mission and what we offer.

We’re looking for a Senior Compliance Manager to help scale our LATAM Compliance team. In this critical leadership role, you’ll partner deeply with Product and cross-functional teams to deliver compliance programs that not only manage risk, but directly support our business growth and performance.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for managing regulatory compliance in one of our most complex regulatory markets. You will empower our local entities to meet regulatory expectations through a robust compliance strategy, high-level team leadership, and strategic engagement with local regulators, including the Central Bank of Brazil. You will act as a key business enabler, balancing innovation with governance to protect our operational licenses and support sustainable growth.

If you're passionate about building systems that make financial compliance smart, scalable, and transparent—and you’re excited to work at the intersection of tech and regulation—we’d love to hear from you.

As a Compliance Senior Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring Wise's adherence to regulatory requirements while sustainably growing the business. Your responsibilities will include:

• Stay on the forefront of key regulatory changes, managing impact analysis of changes applicable to Payment Institutions and FX Brokers, keeping a robust framework to manage and track changes.

• Ensure proactive and effective communication with stakeholders on regulatory changes relevant to our Brazilian entities.

• Drive coordination and follow-up with internal stakeholders to ensure regulatory implementations are tracked until conclusion.

• Provide strategic support and advice to stakeholders on local regulations.

• Oversee regulatory assessments for new products.

• Oversee regulatory reporting obligations.

• Ensure local policies are in place and up to date, reflecting local and global requirements.

• Lead, mentor and develop a Regulatory Compliance dedicated team.

• Support on liaising with local regulators, including the Central Bank of Brazil.

About you:

• 6+ years of relevant experience in Regulatory Compliance, Financial Crime Compliance (AML/CTF/CPF) or a related internal/external audit function within the Financial services or Fintech sectors.

• Demonstrated experience in managing compliance programs or relevant compliance projects, particularly in a cross-border or multi-jurisdictional context and in-depth knowledge of the Brazilian regulatory landscape for payment institutions and foreign exchange (FX).

• Proven leadership experience and an experienced strategic thinker, being able to mentor and develop a team.

• Excellent communication and inter-personal skills, being able to articulate complex compliance concepts, risks, and solutions clearly and concisely to diverse audiences.

• Ability to adapt rapidly to an evolving regulatory environment and business priorities, effectively managing change and its impact on compliance programs.

• Experience in interaction with regulators.

• International certifications on Governance, Compliance or Financial crime prevention is a plus.

We’re people without borders — without judgment 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.

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.
