Job Description
More about our mission and what we offer.
The Role
We are looking for a Product Manager to own our new data lake: the platform that will hold the data behind analytics, reporting and AI at Wise. We are moving from systems we have outgrown onto a modern lakehouse, and you will own that move as a product, from roadmap to adoption. You will work with a dedicated engineering team and be guided by the Product Lead for Data Products & Insights, but the roadmap will be yours.
This role suits someone with around 3 to 5 years of product experience and a background in data infrastructure, who wants to own a large, visible project end to end.
What You'll Do
- Own one of Wise's biggest product bets: the data lake at the core of our data infrastructure, behind real-time fraud detection, workforce management, analytics, financial reporting, and the big data use cases nobody has built yet
- Treat the teams who run on that data as your customers: understand what they need from the platform, decide what it should be great at, and shape the roadmap around the value each step creates
- Win adoption one workload at a time: every dataset that moves should be faster, cheaper or more trustworthy than where it lived before, so teams choose your platform rather than being told to use it
- Onboard teams onto the platform, watch where they struggle, and turn that into product improvements
- Define and track the measures that matter: adoption, query performance and cost, data quality incidents, and whether users trust what they find
- Build metadata, ownership and access controls in from the start, so trust in the platform grows as fast as usage

- The ability to turn ambiguous technical work into a clear, staged roadmap with measurable outcomes
