Company Description Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.
Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.
As part of our team, you will help create an entirely new network for the world’s money. For everyone, everywhere.
Job Description
About the Role
With Wise Assets, we’ve empowered customers to grow the money they hold with Wise — giving them access to government-backed assets that track base rates or a global stock index fund. This product challenges traditional banking by putting customers in control of how their balance is held: banks keep the yield; we pass it on.
We’re expanding our offering further. We want to let customers:
- Invest in individual stocks
- Build long-term, tax-beneficial money pots
- Manage more of their financial lives directly through Wise
Your responsibility: Define this entire space from the ground up — shaping the product, the technical foundations, and every detail that makes it real.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Approach Is Unique
Wise is redefining what a current account can be:
- A current account backed by real assets
- Daily returns across the entire balance
- Instant access with no penalties or lock-ins
- Segregated, bankruptcy-protected custody
