Job Description

The role of a Wise Platform Enterprise Support Team Lead is a blend of team management, strategic oversight, and hands-on operational support, all focused on ensuring Wise's business-to-business partners have a seamless experience. This is a crucial position that sits at the intersection of leadership and customer service, with a strong emphasis on data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement.

Core Responsibilities and Daily Tasks

As a Team Lead, your primary responsibility is to lead and nurture a team of up to 10 Enterprise Support Specialists. This isn't just about managing tasks; it's about fostering a high-performing and motivated team.

• Team Leadership and Development: You'll be a coach, mentor, and manager. This includes setting clear performance and quality targets (KPIs) and holding the team accountable. You will be responsible for tracking individual progress, identifying skill gaps, and providing training to ensure the team is well-equipped to handle all partner inquiries and complaints. You'll also be involved in hiring and onboarding new team members and conducting regular one-on-one meetings and performance reviews.

• Operational Management: You are the key to a smooth and efficient support workflow. You'll ensure the team is effectively managing the flow of inquiries and complaints, ensuring that service level agreements (SLAs) are met. This also involves managing work schedules, particularly for a team that provides global coverage, and ensuring there's a fair balance of on-call duties if applicable.You will also be the account owner of the long-tail accounts for the Wise Platform.

• Data and Insights: A significant part of the role is using data to drive improvements. You'll be responsible for collecting and analyzing partner feedback through satisfaction surveys and other channels. You'll then take these insights—the pain points, common issues, and opportunities for improvement—and present them to the wider Wise Platform team, which includes Customer Success, Account Management, and Servicing teams. This feedback loop is essential for influencing product and process changes that enhance the partner experience and reduce the need for future support.

• Strategic Collaboration: A key part of the job is working cross-functionally with other Wise teams. This is to ensure that the feedback and data your team collects are used to inform business decisions and product roadmaps. You'll be a strong advocate for your partners, using data to articulate their needs and priorities to internal stakeholders.

Qualifications

Beyond the specific tasks, a successful Team Lead at Wise Platform has a unique set of skills.

• Analytics: You must be an expert in working with partner data. The ability to dive into data, understand what it's telling you, and turn that information into actionable insights is crucial for the continuity of the partnership and the improvement of their implementation.

• Project Management: A significant part of the role involves working on projects that benefit both the partner and internal teams. You'll need to be skilled at defining project goals, creating timelines, allocating resources, and ensuring projects are completed on time and to a high standard.

• Complex Problem-Solving: You'll be the point of contact for internal teams and the person specialists escalate issues to. This requires a strong ability to diagnose complex technical and operational problems, develop creative and effective solutions, and guide your team through difficult situations.

• Communication and Presentation Skills: You must be an excellent communicator, able to articulate complex concepts and data-driven insights to a wide range of audiences, both internal and external. You will need to be a master of stakeholder management, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

• Leadership and Empathy: You must have a genuine passion for leading people and building high-performing teams. This means being a motivator, a coach, and a problem-solver who can handle difficult situations with patience and flexibility.

• Adaptability: The fintech world is fast-paced, and Wise is no exception. The ability to keep up with constant change, adapt processes as needed, and remain patient and flexible in the face of new challenges is crucial.

In essence, the Wise Platform Enterprise Support Specialist Team Lead is more than a manager—they are a strategic leader who ensures the smooth operation of support, champions the partner experience, and uses insights to drive the continuous improvement of the Wise Platform.
