Job Description

We’re looking for a Design & Research Operations Graduate to join our Design & Research Operations team in London.

Your mission: 

You'll be mentored by several Design & Research Operations team members at Wise, collaborating with other Wisers and fellow grads on cross-functional projects.

Here’s how you’ll contribute:

  • Operational support: Help execute Design leadership visions and keep day-to-day community operations running smoothly by setting up collaborative initiatives, coordinating across teams, and gathering feedback on impact
  • Program management: Support end-to-end program delivery across the design community (e.g., coordinating global product feature rollouts across design, research, and cross-functional teams).
  • Capability building: Support the drive for overall team maturity and continuous improvement by identifying opportunities, introducing new practices or training, and boosting the design community's efficiency.
