About TransferWise

TransferWise was founded in 2011 with a clear mission: Money without borders - so people and businesses can send and receive any currency effortlessly, whenever, wherever.

Sure, the heart of what we do is international money transfer. And we’re committed to making it instant, convenient and fair for millions of people, all over the world. But we’re growing our other products and our teams at an exciting pace.

Position

TransferWise's Treasury and Finance teams work with similar financial data, but do very different things.

Treasury manages liquidity and foreign currency exposure. Their focus is on minimising the risk and cost of offering our currencies to customers. They make sure accurate funds are in our currency accounts whilst keeping us compliant.

Finance looks after financial accounting, business monitoring and represents TransferWise financials to board, investors, regulators and auditors. Their focus is making sure financial processes are controlled in an efficient and scalable way and make sure our financial reporting is timely and accurate.

Although the goals of the teams are different it’s essential they’re aligned in their decision-making and both contribute to making our business financially sustainable.

That’s where you come in. Your mission is to help us design and build a unified environment across these domains and make sure financial movements from our systems are aligned.
