Company Description

Your Mission At Wise, we are fully devoted to our Mission: Money without borders. Instant, convenient, and eventually free. Over 16 million people and businesses use Wise, which processes over £9 billion in cross-border transactions every month, saving customers over £1.5 billion a year. We serve a wide range of customers from personal users, freelancers, small businesses and increasingly even to large enterprises and banks. Wise also offers over 50 currencies for customers to hold and convert money in. 

Job Description

Wise Platform helps banks, software companies and large enterprises leverage Wise’s infrastructure to offer their customers world class payments products through their own channels. Our partners make up some of the world’s biggest banks and online platforms, such as Monzo, N26, and Google. Wise Platform is a start-up within a scale up. We’re based across the world - from New York, to London, to Singapore and beyond.

Our Technical Support engineers ensure that our partners get a rapid and effective response when issues arise; from general questions about the behaviour of an API or webhook, to acting as a first-responder for a major incident. The team are experts in the Wise Platform APIs, and provide 24/7 coverage - based across Singapore, Tallinn, and Austin - in order to maintain the highest quality and reliability for partners’ technical integrations.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Support Lead to scale our technical servicing capabilities for Wise Platform in EMEA. You’ll lead the EMEA Technical Support team based in Tallinn, take ownership of the tech support KPIs for the partners and team members in the region, and collaborate across the global Technical Support team to ensure rapid and always-available support for partners leveraging our APIs.

Key Responsibilities

- You’ll enable 24/7 technical escalation coverage to support critical incidents impacting Wise Platform partners; coordinating a regional team contributing to follow-the-sun global support coverage during business hours, and an emergency on-call response over weekends.

- You’ll organise the processes, workload, and team capacity to ensure that the team remains compliant with our SLAs for technical support, delivering on the technical support KPI for partners globally during your region’s coverage times.

- You’ll be responsible for the health of the technical support function in EMEA; coaching and mentoring your team and providing feedback on their approach, helping them make data-driven decisions, and helping them identify and solve the challenges they experience in their role.

- You’ll plan the growth and scaling of your team using a clear roadmap, impact, and near-term executable milestones.

- You’ll develop a deep expertise in the Wise API products and capabilities, and solid understanding of how Wise Platform partnerships have integrated with the solution.

- You’ll build strong internal and external relationships to maintain high-quality support and shape cross-functional collaboration.
