SEO Content Manager, Japan

Summary

We are looking for a highly motivated and driven SEO Content Manager to join our rapidly growing Owned Sites team.

Owned Sites is like a start-up within Wise. We’re part of the marketing team, and our focus is on acquiring new customers and driving revenue through a portfolio of websites. Exiap, a transparent international money transfer comparison website, is a good example of this. When a user goes to Exiap, they compare providers by route and amount. If Wise is the cheapest, we acquire new customers. When we’re not, we earn a commission by referring users to competitors. As such, you’ll also have the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of affiliate marketing.

In this role, your mission is to produce high-quality, data-driven content that engages our audience and helps us achieve our business goals. You will take full ownership of the content lifecycle, from initial keyword research and ideation to briefing, editing, and publishing. You will also be responsible for managing a team of freelance writers, ensuring all content adheres to our legal, brand, and PR guidelines. This is a role for someone who thrives on ownership and is passionate about creating exceptional content.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn all about SEO; work across multiple markets, websites, and content topics; get hands-on experience creating and optimising content at scale; contribute to the vision, and direction of, the team; be empowered to take ownership and drive impact; and learn all there is to know about running a website.

The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator with a proven ability to prioritize and get things done. You have a great eye for detail, strong time management skills, and can make decisions based on data. While you can work well on your own, you also thrive in a collaborative team environment. You have a background in SEO content creation, but we are also open to speaking with someone who has a strong willingness to learn and grow with us. As a key requirement for this role, you must be a fluent Japanese speaker with strong English skills.

About Wise

Wise was founded in 2011 with a clear mission: Money without borders – so people and businesses can send, spend and get paid in any currency, whenever, wherever.

We’re committed to making money transfer instant, convenient and fair for millions of people, all over the world. We’re also growing other products and our teams at an incredible pace. And we’re looking for the very best to jump on board.

What it’s really like to work here

At Wise, we do things a bit differently. There’s no corporate nonsense, and no old-fashioned hierarchy. Instead, we work in dozens of self-sufficient, autonomous teams. Think of them like start-ups within a start-up.

Each team picks the problems they want to solve. So, there’s no micro-management. No hiding behind fancy job titles. And no one is telling you what to do. You are your own boss. But you’ll get tons of guidance and plenty of support from your talented, super-smart teammates.

We’re going to be upfront — the way we work doesn’t suit everyone. But if freedom, autonomy, and life-affirming, head-scratching professional challenges rock your world, we could be a match made in heaven.
