For everyone, everywhere.

More about our mission and what we offer.

The opportunity

Your mission

Wise is building a scalable, transparent, and cost-efficient card issuance supply chain. We’re looking for a Supply Chain Function Lead – Card Issuance to own the multi-year strategy for card manufacturing and delivery, design the operating model for a high-performing global supply chain function, and lead our partner portfolio end-to-end—from selection and governance to commercial negotiations and performance.

A core part of this role is senior partner stakeholder management: you’ll represent Wise externally, keep vendors accountable to outcomes, and influence partner priorities and behaviours to protect Wise’s customer experience, cost, and resilience goals.

What you’ll do

Set strategy & build the operating model

  • Define and drive the 1–3 year strategy for card manufacturing and delivery—balancing service levels, product experience, cost-to-serve, and transparency.
  • Design the operating model for a scalable global supply chain function (team structure, governance cadence, escalation paths, decision forums, metrics/scorecards).
  • Own the monitoring roadmap (coverage, controls, ROI) so issues are detected early and resolved through clear ownership.

Own the partner portfolio & drive vendor accountability (critical)

  • Lead the global partner portfolio strategy (manufacturer + delivery partners), including multi-vendor coverage and concentration risk management.
  • Establish high-impact vendor governance:
  • performance scorecards (SLA, quality, lead times, loss/damage, scan compliance, complaints, transparency)
  • structured escalation and remediation playbooks
  • root-cause expectations and corrective action plans with deadlines
  • Represent Wise in senior partner forums and ensure Wise priorities are executed
  • Proactively identify underperformance and lead exec-level decisions: invest / fix / replace, including transition planning and risk-managed migrations.

Lead commercial negotiation & contract strategy

  • Negotiate contracts end-to-end with a strong commercial stance: pricing models, volume tiers, indexation, cost drivers.
  • Build robust contract architecture: SLAs/KPIs with meaningful remedies (credits/penalties/step-in rights), auditability, data transparency, and strong exit/transition clauses.
  • Continuously challenge cost-to-serve while protecting customer experience.

Influence cross-functionally & deliver change

  • Partner with Product, Ops, Risk, Compliance, Finance and Customer Support to define requirements and design scalable solutions.
  • Lead cross-functional programmes for supply-chain changes (launch readiness, risk assessment, communications, stakeholder alignment).
  • Communicate clearly to senior stakeholders using data-driven narratives and crisp trade-offs.

Lead and grow the function

  • Hire, coach and develop the supply chain team; build capability, set standards, and drive performance.
  • Set a high bar for ownership, transparency and execution—internally and with partners.

What success looks like

  • A clear 1–3 year supply chain strategy and annual plan with measurable targets.
  • A resilient partner portfolio with primary/secondary coverage per region and tested transition playbooks.
  • Measurable improvements in vendor performance: stronger SLA attainment, fewer delivery exceptions, better scan/comms transparency, and reduced cost-to-serve.
  • Executive dashboards that enable fast decisions and clear accountability.

What they're looking for

What we’re looking for

  • Proven ownership of end-to-end supply chain strategy for card manufacturing and/or regulated physical product operations (payments/fintech preferred).
  • Strong track record holding vendors accountable and influencing external partners to deliver outcomes aligned with your company’s interests.
  • High-stakes commercial negotiation experience and confidence representing your organisation at executive level.
  • Deep capability in contract design: SLAs/KPIs, pricing, remedies/credits, transparency clauses, exit/transition planning.
  • Experience managing multi-vendor portfolios, concentration risk, and resilience planning (BCP/contingency).
  • Strong cross-functional programme leadership and senior stakeholder influence.
  • People leadership: building/scaling teams, coaching and performance management.
  • Operational literacy in card manufacturing and logistics / last-mile delivery optimisation.
