  • Support and govern Wise's employee communities (ERGs), ensuring alignment with business goals

  • Manage global regulatory reporting (pay gap, EEO, workforce diversity) across jurisdictions

  • Track progress against DEI goals and surface insights to inform strategy

Strategy & Influence

  • Advise on risk, reputation, and opportunity related to DEI and take steps to mitigate.
