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 be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.
For everyone, everywhere.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Executive Assistant to partner closely with our CTO, supporting their leadership across Wise’s Global Engineering & Technology organisation and North America.

This is a high-impact role at the centre of a fast-moving, global organisation. You’ll combine exceptional executive support with strong judgement, stakeholder management and operational ownership - helping the CTO focus their time and attention on the things that matter most.

You’ll become deeply embedded in the CTO’s priorities and leadership team, building the context and relationships needed to anticipate what’s coming, make confident decisions and keep a complex global operating rhythm running smoothly.

What you’ll do

Own the CTO’s complex global calendar, balancing priorities across North America, Europe and Asia and making thoughtful decisions about where their time is best spent.

Act as a trusted strategic partner, anticipating needs, protecting focus time, preparing for key meetings and decisions, and keeping important actions and follow-ups moving.

Build strong relationships across Wise, particularly with the Engineering Leadership Team, senior executives and their support teams.

Coordinate complex domestic and international travel, creating detailed itineraries and handling changes calmly when plans shift.

Own key leadership events and offsites, including Dev Lead offsites and supporting major Engineering events such as Tech Day.

Support senior recruiting and organisational priorities, including coordinating interviews, leadership sessions and other high-impact moments.

Improve how the executive office operates, identifying recurring friction and creating smarter, more scalable processes using technology, AI and automation where useful.

Contribute to our BOSS community, sharing best practices, raising standards and supporting other EAs across Wise.

We’re looking for someone who:

Is proactive and anticipates what an executive and leadership team will need before being asked.

Builds trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and handles confidential information with discretion.

Communicates clearly and concisely and stays calm and solutions-focused when plans change.

Has experience managing complex international travel and delivering leadership offsites or events end to end.

Is comfortable using technology, AI and automation to make executive workflows more effective.

Enjoys operating with a high degree of autonomy and contributing beyond their immediate responsibilities.
