Job Description

Your mission:

Wise has already pioneered new ways for people to transfer money across borders and currencies. Our customers can also manage their hard-earned money with the world’s first platform to offer true multi-currency banking. Your mission is to understand the needs of our customers who use these products in order to provide them with a cheaper, easier and faster experience.

You’ll contribute by:

• Building our understanding of people with cross-currency needs among our key markets in order to ensure we are focused on solving the right things for customers

• Owning the planning, execution and delivery of research, applying the appropriate research methods to answer the teams’ highest priority questions

This role will give you the opportunity to: 

• Be part of a team - you’ll be embedded in a team where you can drive the direction and deliver the most impact. This means you can go deep and tackle the real customer problems while working side-by-side with PMs, design, analytics and engineering

• Choose your path to impact You’ll have the freedom to make your own calls about how best to support customer needs and reach mission zero

• Grow the research practice - You will be part of helping establish how we conduct research at a global scale

A bit about you…

• You have deep experience with both generative and evaluative research and are comfortable independently initiating, running and communicating research 

• You have experience leading mixed-method studies. This encompasses a strong understanding of qualitative and quantitative user research methods and analysis techniques, including for ethnography, usability, surveys and card-sorting 

• You’re comfortable working embedded in a cross-functional product team and are able to work autonomously, as well as collaboratively with your cross-functional partners (product, data, design, engineering) 

• You’re able to guide the team on how to action your rich insights and work closely with designers to ideate based on findings

• You have top-notch presentation skills, especially when it comes to sharing impactful insights

• You not only advocate for the customer but for research more broadly, and have clear examples of making research an integral part of building products

And as a heads up, this role probably isn’t for you if:

• Your experience is primarily market research and/or academia

• You don’t have demonstrable experience leading UX research within the tech/product industry

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.
