Senior Regulatory Compliance Officer - Pacific

Since 2011, Wise has had a clear mission: money without borders. Built by and for people who live global lives, we're the fairest, easiest way to manage your money across borders.

We're just at the beginning of our story and we're growing at an incredible pace. We won't stop until anyone, anywhere can send, spend and receive money wherever they are, whatever they're doing. There's still heaps to do and we can't do it alone.

We're looking for a Senior Regulatory Compliance Officer - Pacific to strengthen our compliance team. Based in Singapore or Sydney, you will work with a growing team of multidisciplinary specialists (Product, Treasury, Wise Platform) to help build world class products in New Zealand and Australia. You'll also manage and strengthen the teams' relationships by being the Regulator's first point of contact, keeping everybody informed and protecting our most valuable asset - our customers.

This role can be located in Singapore or Sydney

Your mission:

• Develop and execute regulatory strategy in line with our mission to be instant, convenient, transparent and eventually free.
• Provide oversight on our regulatory compliance control environment and ensure this environment is conducive to us responsibly achieving our mission in the Pacific.
• Manage our regulatory licences in Australia and New Zealand: (i) regulatory liaison, (ii) regulatory reporting and filing, (iii) regulatory change management, and (iv) policy development.
• Build trust with our regulators: manage and coordinate meaningful reporting internally and externally, respond to information requests, and proactively communicate product changes and notifiable events.
• Maintain compliance frameworks, policies and documentation and support teams to defend our program in regulatory audits.
• Develop systems to track and monitor our regulatory risk, compliance with regulatory requirements, audit findings and internal policies.
• Work with the Pacific tribe, Treasury and Wise Platform to educate them about Pacific regulatory requirements, and empower teams to build risk based processes which are clearly documented.
• Work with teams in Singapore, Tallinn and London to develop our risk based approach, provide constructive feedback and be responsible for resolutions, including addressing any regulatory audit findings.
• Adapt your focus on different compliance issues depending on growth plans and compliance needs.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Develop an in-depth knowledge of Wise's business and get to know many teams across the company as you liaise with them to help them understand the regulatory framework and bring together the information that our regulators need.
• Help keep compliance right at the heart of our product development with the Pacific tribe and cross-team.

A bit about you:

If you have a background in payments or other financial regulation, great communication and organisational skills, tons of motivation, then this role could be perfect for you!

• Theory. You are an expert in regulatory compliance, with a strong preference for experience working at an Australia or New Zealand regulator.
• Practice. You have demonstrable experience designing and challenging processes, ideally across multiple products. You have thought deeply about the Wise mission and how it intersects with compliance.
• Passion. You get a kick out improving current practices and processes and can apply different compliance strategies to develop multiple compliance frameworks.
• Get the job done. You have a sense of urgency and an ability to work well under pressure, prioritising, taking responsibility and working to tight deadlines.
• Detail. You have meticulous attention to detail and if you've skimmed through without reading this bullet point, I'm sure a bank would love to have you.
• Development. You've considered the challenges and development opportunities of working at a fast growing organisation or in payments compliance.
• Location. This role is located in Sydney or Singapore.

We're people without borders - without judgement 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, where and what you studied isn't important to us. If you've got great experience, the right skills for the role and you're great at articulating your thinking, we'd like to hear from you.
