We are looking for a Payment Operations Senior Specialist to join our APAC Payment Operations Regional team in Tokyo! 

Your mission: 

Wise has already pioneered new ways for people to transfer money across borders and currencies. Our customers can also give their money a boost by choosing from different investment options within the Wise Account.

In this role, you will be supporting Payment Operations for currencies in the APAC Region - executing on operational tasks, optimising operational processes and the operationalisation of products. This ensures that new and current products, features and processes scale efficiently and securely. 

This ranges from automating operational tasks or manual processes, lowering or eliminating operational risk areas, supporting product & engineering teams with improving new or existing products or features, & more. You will collaborate with various Wise functions (e.g. Product & Engineering, Risk, Compliance, Customer Support, Finance, Treasury etc) as you work to translate evolving customer and Payment Operations challenges into scalable, automated systems and processes. 

This role is a unique opportunity to have an impact on Wise’s mission by contributing to building and supporting operationally sustainable cross-border products and help save millions more people money. 

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to the APAC Payment Operations Team:

  • Maintaining consistent and high level execution of recurring tasks & responsibilities within the designated domain;
  • Investigating, solving and escalating any issues connected to respective domain in a timely manner;
  • Acting as the first level escalation point on the cases and crisis level within own domain, and handling incidents in your area of expertise;
  • Supporting stakeholders in solving complex problems related to their area of ownership and ensuring timely and relevant communication;
  • Driving product and process improvement in their domain in collaboration with stakeholders;
  • Coordinating product and processes related risk assessment and mitigation initiatives;
  • Supporting or owning training and mentoring responsibilities of new and existing specialists.

This role will give you the opportunity to: 

  • Make an Impact - You’ll help to identify and automate manual processes that complicate our customers’ lives, while increasing the efficiency of the whole operations organisation, driving us towards Mission Zero!
  • Challenge Yourself - You’ll be working with teams that face complex situations. You get the chance to question the norm and drive to make things happen instead of wondering why things happened. Through that you can learn more about yourself and what you are capable of when given the right tools and mentoring.
  • Inspire Teams - You’ll fuel the revolution with your ideas, knowledge, self-starter attitude, and customer insight, which you’ll use to work with product development engineers and other operational teams to help solve our customer’s problems!
  • Work Globally - You’ll work closely with internal and external partners and help to figure out ways to make our customers’ lives better. We’re wisers with 120+ nationalities located in offices from Tampa to Tokyo, and much like our product, we operate without borders across teams and locations. We get it done!
