Wise•Austin, TX

5d•Hybrid

About The Position

Canada is one of Wise's fastest-growing markets and a key strategic priority in North America. Canadians increasingly use Wise as a day-to-day account – moving money internationally, spending abroad, and paying for groceries and subscriptions – and we're looking for someone to lead the next phase of that growth. You'll own the growth of Wise in Canada, accountable for new customer acquisition and contribution margin. You'll define the Canadian GTM – messaging, positioning, channel mix, and budget allocation – and work in close collaboration with channel leads based in London on campaign execution and optimization, and with the Regional Growth and Product teams on new features and promotions. You'll also be the voice of the Canadian customer, feeding insights back to the Regional Product team to shape the roadmap.

Experience partnering with Marketing Analytics and Marketing Science teams on test design.
Experience using opportunity sizing to prioritize investment.
Experience owning a marketing budget and being accountable for its return.
Influential leader capable of working cross-functionally across regional and global teams without direct authority.
Clear and persuasive communication skills with regional and global stakeholders.
Entrepreneurial and self-directed, comfortable operating in a matrix organization with ambiguity and competing priorities.
Previous experience working alongside Product.
Sufficient experience across acquisition channels to review, challenge, and improve the work of channel specialists.
