Treasury Manager

Job Description

We’re looking for an experienced Treasury Manager to join our Treasury team in Austin. This role is a unique growth opportunity in our Treasury within our newly created Markets team, with the ability to have a direct impact on Wise's mission → Money without Borders.

Your mission:
Wise has already pioneered new ways for people to transfer money across borders and currencies. Our customers can also manage their hard-earned money with the world’s first platform to offer true multi-currency banking. Your mission is to help us manage our risks in real time, and help us keep lowering our prices

Our Markets team manages the risk on our GBP 120bn+ FX book and our GBP 21bn of customer assets.

Here’s how you’ll be contributing to the Treasury team:

• Using your risk management and execution experience, you will help us manage group wide FX risks and manage liquidity trades to ensure we have money where our customers need it.
• As part of a Global Team, manage the day-to-day FX hedging activities during the US timezone. This will include managing our hedging strategies across FX products (Spot, Forwards & NDFs in the US timezone).
• Working closely with Treasury Data Analysts & Scientists to assess risk over upcoming market events, product launches and regular assessment of existing and new trading strategies. Work on automating risk management and funding strategies once proven.
• Working closely with Treasury Liquidity Operations & Regional Banking to optimize funding and reduce Treasury costs with our partners in US time zone.
• Work alongside the wider Treasury Markets team to manage customers funds balances in the US timezone and invest excess funds in short term/Money Market instruments to optimize yield.
• Be a point of contact and help manage relationships with our panel of international banks and counterparties across the US and LatAM regions. Ensuring we are constantly negotiating on price, and optimising for both price and broader relationship whenever we trade.

• Supporting NorthAm and LatAm strategic initiatives as a Treasury representative as we expand into new markets and products in those regions.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Choose your path to impact - we believe people are most empowered when they can act autonomously. So rather than telling you what to do, you’ll work with your team to create a vision of your own. Of course, you can always gather feedback from smart, curious people across Wise but you’ll have the freedom to make your own calls.
• Be part of a rapidly growing team, in an expanding business, giving opportunities to expand the role as you grow.
• Be flexible in how you work, we understand everyone needs a little something different so we’ll do our best to make it happen.
• You’ll have the opportunity to travel and work with our teams globally.
• Grow as a leader – with our rapid growth, this role will need to be a source of markets expertise across our entire business and will be leading a small team.

Qualifications

• 8+ years FX or short term interest rates trading experience across a variety of markets with a focus on Latam/Emerging Market currencies. 

• 2+ years of experience managing a team as this role offers managerial responsibilities in charge of a small growing risk management team.

• As part of a Global Team, manage the day-to-day FX Trading hedging activities during the US timezone. This will include managing our hedging strategies across FX products Spot, Forwards & NDFs in the US timezone.
