  international money transfers for customers in Japan and across the region.

• You'll lead by example - not

  only will you lead a product team yourself, but we'd love it if you could help other diverse and autonomous product teams. This means understanding their potential and providing insights and data where necessary. As we are a data focused company, it helps to know what makes each of the teams tick to make sure they are focusing on the proper KPIs.

• Communication and inspiration - you'll be responsible for understanding the why and how of the product so you can communicate the TransferWise story to anyone - from your banker to their grandmother. As we're having many satellite teams, it's important that you communicate product changes so that they stay in the loop.

• Travelto work with our teams in Japan as well as meet various partners and organisations when needed

• Inspireteams with your ideas, knowledge and self-starting attitude

A bit about you:

• You are customer-focused.

  At TransferWise, customers always come first. You need to be enthusiastic about our customers. We are a company doing great things, but we couldn’t do it without our customers being ready to start a revolution.

• You have passion for Asia.

  The Asia region spans from India to the Philippines to Japan. It is incredibly diverse, and also you recognise that to be successful there, you'll have to do things a little differently than in Europe. You have the empathy for that.

• You are entrepreneurial,either you have run your own company or delivered high impact projects. You need to have ideas. You’re going to change the world, so we want to see what exceptional ideas you’ve had before.

• You are someone who loves to get things done -you make things happen instead of wondering why things happened. You are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and take responsibility. We do not hire people just to manage other people. We expect you to deliver results directly.

• Have a head for numbers.

  You are data-driven. You need to be able to prioritise the value you can add to customers, and numbers are the best way to do this. You can give examples of how you have moved some metrics before.

• Have excellent attention to detail.

  If you’ve skimmed through without reading this bullet point, I’m sure a bank would love to have you. Our secret word is “mayonnaise”.

• Have some technical knowledge.

  You may have started out your career as an engineer or maybe it's a secret passion. Either way you need to be able to communicate effectively with our product engineers.

Some extra skills that would be awesome:

• You speak and write Chinese, Cantonese, Korean and/or Japanese fluently

• You had experience working with debit/credit cards, banks, and payment networks, preferably in Japan
