Job Description
The Corporate PR Lead, US will play a pivotal role in further shaping Wise’s US reputation as the global technology company that is building the best way to move and manage money around the world.
This is a unique opportunity for someone that is passionate about corporate and financial communications, as you will help strengthen Wise’s brand engagement among key business and finance stakeholders. You’ll have the chance to work with different functions across the business to craft compelling narratives and unlock the business press stories that instill confidence in our US strategy, our customer-centricity and our culture.
Overview:

Wise is looking for an experienced communications professional who is eager to develop high-quality storylines that elevate Wise and the work we’re doing to build ‘the’ network for the world’s money.
This role will be focused on managing Wise’s reputation in the US, particularly across key national and financial press. You’ll be comfortable handling complicated and tricky issues when they come up, and working with internal teams and journalists to ensure that Wise’s reputation is upheld. You’re familiar with industry jargon and know how to dive into the product or a topic to understand the details, and then simplify them for your audiences. You have strong press contacts in national and financial media. You’re proactive, creative and enjoy working in a fast-paced global team and organization. Your primary focus will be on the US, while also working with members of the global Communications team to deliver projects and brand engagement narratives globally.
What's in it for you:
This is an opportunity to support one of the world's foremost tech companies and a chance to truly be a part of something great. It goes without saying that you'll be a part of a fun, friendly atmosphere, with plenty of opportunities to grow personally and professionally. You'll get a competitive salary, flexible work hours and the opportunity for international travel. Everyone gets shares in the company too, because we believe that what we're building belongs to each of us.
What you'll do:

• Content development and execution: Support the creation of high-quality financial communications materials from scratch—including scripts, press releases, presentations, messaging and Q&A documents to support financial results and other relevant corporate announcements. You’ll ensure all materials are accurate, easy to understand and aligned with broader company messaging as a dual listed company on Nasdaq and the London Stock Exchange.

• Drive media engagement: Execute press relations by building and maintaining relationships with financial and business media, owning these connections and prepping our executives for secured meetings and speaking opportunities. You’ll lead on the development of briefing materials, drafting responses to reporter inquiries and contributing to communications plans that enhance the company's reputation with key business and financial media.

• Crisis and issues management: Assess, establish and maintain a crisis communications program that keeps our team a step ahead of the next news cycle. Lead rapid response communications during sensitive situations, coordinating with global teams and providing steady leadership under pressure.

• Reputation building: Oversee media relations, executive visibility, and thought leadership for select corporate functions—identify opportunities to strengthen Wise’s global reputation through disciplined messaging and proactive communications.

• Partner cross-functionally: Develop relationships with stakeholders across IR, Legal, Marketing, Product, and Regional and Global Leadership teams to ensure communications efforts are aligned and reflect consistent brand voice. Provide communications counsel and deliver feedback that shapes how Wise shows up externally.

• Think creatively: Bring outside the box thinking to traditional communications. Whether it’s LinkedIn or Substack, you’ll monitor trends and put forward creative ideas that will help us shape the next wave of innovative storytelling at Wise.

Qualifications
What you'll bring:

• Communications experience: You've spent 10+ years building your career in public relations, with a proven track record leading communications strategy.

• Financial communications: At least 2 years in the financial communications space, you’ve spent years supporting corporate news moments, like earnings, for a publicly traded company in the US.

• Strategic execution: Deep experience independently developing comprehensive strategies and creative storytelling that builds brand engagement and trust among key audiences. You're not too senior to write a press release or brief an agency, but you're strategic enough to shape direction.

• Strong written communication skills: Crafting creative concepts, strategic briefs, press releases, and leadership communications is second nature to you. You can distill c
