Standardize and optimize global operational processes and workflows to enhance speed, cost, and overall efficiency across regions.

Own the end-to-end operational readiness for new partner and product implementations, ensuring all integrations are scalable, reliable, and meet our high standards.

Define and implement data-driven KPI frameworks and monitoring dashboards (using SQL) to track performance and deliver actionable insights that influence strategy.

Partner with global Product, Engineering, and regional teams to translate business goals into scalable technical solutions and improved internal tooling.

Act as the subject matter expert and key escalation point for complex operational issues, leading incident response and proactive risk mitigation.

Champion a culture of continuous improvement, identifying and leading cross-functional initiatives to resolve operational bottlenecks and build resilient systems.

This role will give you the opportunity to

Inspire Teams - You’ll fuel the revolution with your ideas, knowledge, self-starter attitude, and customer insight, which you’ll use to work with product development engineers and other operational teams to help solve our customer’s problems!

Develop Wisers - You’ll scale culture and help to create a positive and motivating work environment for our Wisers. You’ll ensure the health and productivity of the specialists within your teams by helping to set the right culture and implement the right approaches. We don’t believe in drama, only good Karma!

Work Globally - You’ll work closely with internal and external partners and help to figure out ways to make our customers’ lives better. You’ll also occasionally travel to work and learn with our teams in other locations! We’re 6500+ Wisers with 70+ nationalities located in offices from Tallinn to Tokyo, and much like our product, we operate without borders communicating across teams and locations. We get it done!

Proven Experience: You have a background in operations management, technical implementation, or a similar role, ideally within a fast-paced FinTech, payments, or technology company.
