Global Complaints Team Lead
Wise
Job Description
We’re looking for an experienced lead of business customers that can drive exceptional customer service, while generating high quality and actionable insights to key stakeholders, to create lasting and positive changes.
At Wise, we're on a mission to make money move as easily as information — fair, transparent, and fast. As our Business Complaints Team Lead for Budapest, you'll be central to that mission: ensuring our business customers in Budapest receive fair, high-quality outcomes when things go wrong, and leading a team that sets the standard for what great complaints handling looks like.
You'll build and lead a growing team of Business Complaints Officers in Budapest, coaching them to deliver excellent outcomes, managing day-to-day performance, and driving continuous improvement through data and root cause thinking. More than a people manager, you'll be an advocate for customers, a bridge to cross-functional teams, and a critical voice in shaping how Wise handles complaints.
If you're passionate about people development, customer fairness, and making a real difference in a fast-moving fintech, this is the role for you.
