Company Description
How should global money work? How do you take a complex, stressful experience and make it simple, calming even? How do you challenge the way it’s always been done?
How do you collaborate in a human-centred way to ship work you’re truly proud of?
These are just a few of the challenges a Group Design Lead will work on as part of Wise’s global mission to build an open, fair, and human financial system. Right now we move £6 billion every month for over 12 million people. But we're only 2% done — because people without borders deserve money without borders.
