Mobile Engineering Manager

About the Spend Squad

We build products that allow our customers to spend their money anywhere in the world. We currently process about £26 billion annually and issue cards to over 40 countries. We are also building out features which localise the spending experience no matter where you are.

As the lead of the mobile team you would be responsible for shipping the direct customer touch points on one of Wise’s most impactful products.

• The opportunity to lead the new mobile team in one of Wise’s most influential and recognisable products. The mobile requirements of the squad have been growing dramatically recently and this is the chance to influence the product that is used by millions of customers.
• The chance to shape and determine how our mobile engineers work within our Spend product for both iOS and Android
• A collaborative, no‑blame culture built on transparency, ownership, and trust.
• The autonomy to build and scale the team how you see fit, and to grow and incubate new products within the squad.
• The ability to grow and shape the careers of our talented and eager mobile team.

• The mobile engineers are currently embedded in our various product teams. We would like to bring them together in a new team led by you to optimise our mobile engineering resources, and facilitate the growth and development of our team.
• The engineers currently support 5 individual product teams within our squad and do very close work with the wider teams / squads / tribes within Wise.
• The engineering team will support the card product across all stages, card order, transacting, 3ds, bill split, recurring payments, dispute resolution and much more.

• Proven experience leading and mentoring one or multiple high‑performing engineering teams.
• A strong product mindset and passion for customer experience, you prioritise work with the customers in mind and make data‑driven decisions to fix customer pain‑points
• Strong technical skills in either iOS or Android development.
• Great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex, technical concepts to non‑technical audience
• You are able to pivot effectively when priorities change, quickly re‑prioritising and adjusting workflows to meet objectives, and you are impactful when doing work in the weeds with the teams.
• You are comfortable working in a globally distributed squad and tribe, and driving projects across multiple teams and disciplines.
• You are not just a people manager, you’re a technical and product passionate contributor who can grow teams, individuals, initiatives and empower our ICs to expand their industry presence
• Ideally you’ve grown a team from incubation to high performance state before.
