Global Complaints Team Lead

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money.

Min fees. Max ease. Full speed.

Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.

As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.

For everyone, everywhere.

More about our mission and what we offer.

We’re looking for an experienced lead of business customers that can drive exceptional customer service, while generating high quality and actionable insights to key stakeholders, to create lasting and positive changes.

At Wise, we're on a mission to make money move as easily as information — fair, transparent, and fast. As our Business Complaints Team Lead for Budapest, you'll be central to that mission: ensuring our business customers in Budapest receive fair, high-quality outcomes when things go wrong, and leading a team that sets the standard for what great complaints handling looks like.

You'll build and lead a growing team of Business Complaints Officers in Budapest, coaching them to deliver excellent outcomes, managing day-to-day performance, and driving continuous improvement through data and root cause thinking. More than a people manager, you'll be an advocate for customers, a bridge to cross-functional teams, and a critical voice in shaping how Wise handles complaints.

If you're passionate about people development, customer fairness, and making a real difference in a fast-moving fintech, this is the role for you.
