Product Analyst Placement (6 months) 2022

Wise is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe.

Current banking systems don’t let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply.

So, we’re building a new one.

We’re on a mission: to make money without borders the new norm. We’ve got 10 million customers across the globe and we’re growing. Fast.

We’re building a scalable, high performing platform for our customers. And we’re looking for Product Analyst interns to join us on our mission.
