Senior Product Compliance Manager - AML

Wise is hiring a full-time Senior Product Compliance Manager for AML, based in London and listed as on-site. The role sits in the Product Compliance and Risk team, which supports Wise's product development by making sure products are compliant by design. The manager works with the global AML product teams to set controls that balance customer experience with financial crime detection and scalable operations.

Responsibilities include setting the team's direction for AML control design and detection strategy, and helping interpret global regulation so that Wise's in-house AML capabilities remain strong. The role identifies improvements that raise detection quality, unlock growth and cut unnecessary friction and manual work, then drives them through to delivery with product and engineering teams. Using data to measure how well controls perform, and supporting an ongoing testing and assurance programme, are central to the role. When audits, regulators, incidents or third parties highlight gaps, the manager builds project plans and carries them out. The role also covers periodic reviews of controls against changing rules and guidance, and helps compile the yearly financial-crime risk review covering typologies and regions.

The posting asks for at least seven years in AML or financial crime, with a focus on designing and improving AML controls such as transaction monitoring, risk detection and alert decisioning. Experience building controls alongside product and engineering teams in an internally built product setting is required, along with automation experience that cuts manual effort without weakening detection. Strong data analytics, project coordination and a clear way of explaining trade-offs between friction, cost and risk are expected. A CAMS or ICA credential, or an equivalent one, is a plus, and candidates should be willing to travel as needed.
