Job Description
At Wise, the Staff Analyst is a pivotal technical leadership position, acting as a force multiplier for our Operations Analytics team. This isn’t about running queries or building dashboards; it’s about owning complex, ambiguous challenges from end to end, from identifying critical business opportunities to architecting the scalable data solutions that will power our future. You will be one of Wise’s most senior individual contributors, working with a high degree of autonomy.
We’re looking for a true analytics technical leader who thrives on autonomy and is driven to make a tangible impact. You will be a trusted partner to senior leadership, using your deep technical expertise and strategic insights to influence decisions and drive outcomes. You will not only lead our most critical analytical projects but also mentor a talented team of analysts, setting the standard for technical excellence and fostering a culture of continuous growth.
What You’ll Do
* Drive Strategic Impact: Lead analytical roadmaps and strategic initiatives that align with Wise’s long‑term goals, identify high‑impact opportunities, cut through ambiguity on critical projects, and drive outcomes in leadership forums.
* Own Complex Problem‑Solving: Take ownership of large, complex analytical projects from conception to delivery. Define project structures, align senior stakeholders, and navigate technical ambiguity to execute at pace.
* Influence and Lead: Act as a trusted partner to senior leadership. Prepare and deliver high‑level presentations, tailor communication to influence diverse audiences, and resolve conflicts decisively by leveraging data to build consensus.
* Champion Technical Excellence: Pioneer efficient, high‑performing SQL development and lead the design of scalable data infrastructure and workflows using tools like dbt. Establish and enforce best practices in coding, data analysis, and system design across the team.
* Mentor and Develop Talent: Grow the analytics function by mentoring other analysts, identifying and closing gaps in technical and domain knowledge, and promoting a culture of continual learning and development.
What You’ll Bring
* Strategic Mindset: Proven ability to think strategically, connect analytical work to broader company objectives, and drive projects that deliver significant impact across multiple teams.
* Flawless Execution: Track record of leading large‑scale, complex projects with a high degree of autonomy. Create multi‑quarter roadmaps and execute on time‑sensitive, critical initiatives.
* Advanced Technical Skills: Full independence in technical abilities, expertise in SQL, data pipeline tools (e.g., dbt), and data analysis, with the ability to design scalable, future‑proofed solutions.
* Leadership and Influence: Experience mentoring and developing analysts, strong communication skills, and ability to build partnerships with senior stakeholders, drive consensus, and foster constructive feedback.
* Proactive Ownership: Deep sense of ownership and proactivity, identifying opportunities, championing new tools and frameworks, and setting the example for the analytics community at Wise.
