Your mission

• Set a clear product direction. Develop a compelling vision for your area, grounded in customer needs, partner insight and data. Translate it into a focused roadmap, with clear objectives and a considered view of what to build, improve or stop.

• Make difficult choices. Balance customer value and commercial opportunity with technical complexity, regulatory requirements, risk and operational impact. Explain your decisions clearly and help teams move forward when priorities compete or ownership is unclear.
• Stay close to delivery. Work with Engineering, Design and Analytics from discovery through launch and iteration. Get into the detail of APIs, integrations and payment flows, challenge assumptions, resolve blockers and help the team deliver at pace.
• Lead across team boundaries. Build alignment with other product teams and colleagues in Compliance, Operations and commercial functions. Identify dependencies early and influence priorities across Wise to deliver complete solutions for bank partners.
• Own measurable outcomes. Define the metrics that guide your roadmap and show whether the product is working. Use adoption, usage, payment performance and customer outcomes to evaluate progress, understand commercial impact and decide what to improve next.
• Help partners succeed. Represent the product credibly with prospective and existing banks. Help Sales and Delivery qualify and unblock strategic opportunities, set realistic expectations and identify solutions that meet partner needs while supporting a coherent product strategy.
