Job Description

As a financial technology company moving billions of GBP of customer money in over 70 countries, Wise must have bulletproof financials. We need timely, accurate, and scalable financial data to be compliant with regulations and make accurate business decisions to support our growth and financial objectives.

Due to continued and rapid growth, we’re on the hunt for an experienced Anaplan Model Builder to join our FP&A team in Shoreditch, London. You’ll be part of the team that helps pilot the rocket ship by owning and scaling the modeling infrastructure we rely on.

You’ll be part of Wise’s FP&A team. The team's primary responsibilities involve supporting the finance function’s forecast and collaborating with stakeholders on both entity-specific and group forecasts. In this role, you will bridge the gap between finance and technology organising, building, and maintaining the Anaplan ecosystem that drives our capital, liquidity, and group viability forecasts.

Responsibilities

Working with oversight from senior team members, your key responsibilities will include:

• Anaplan Model Architecture & Build: Organise, build, and maintain Anaplan models, modules, lists, and dashboards. You will translate complex financial logic into scalable, efficient Anaplan architecture.

• Data Pipeline Management: Build, optimise, and maintain robust data pipelines between Anaplan and Snowflake to ensure data flows seamlessly and accurately across our systems.

• Data Input & Output Ownership: Manage the end-to-end data lifecycle within Anaplan, ensuring user inputs are easily captured and outputs are structured correctly for reporting and downstream analysis.

• Process Streamlining: Partner with reporting, FP&A, and accounting teams to streamline manual workflows, optimise data collection, and improve overall forecasting efficiency.

• Model Optimisation & Best Practices: Audit existing models to improve calculation performance, ensuring adherence to Anaplan best practices (PLANS framework) and managing workspace memory effectively.

• Strategic Financial Modelling: Support group and regional entity forecasts (including stress testing for ICARA/ILAAP and bi-annual going concern assessments) by embedding required financial structures into Anaplan.

Qualifications

Who you are:

• You love digging into data, numbers, thinking systematically, and analyzing complex technical interdependencies.

• You are a proven supportive team player who values knowledge-sharing and collaboration.

• You can translate complex business and finance requirements into clean, technical solutions.

• You are comfortable with uncertainty and can maintain high standards in a constantly changing environment.

• You are keen to roll up your sleeves, take ownership, and get the job done.

• You are passionate about what we’re building at Wise.

Mandatory:

• 5–6 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining complex models in Anaplan.

• Certified Anaplan Level 2 Model Builder (Level 3/The Master Anaplanner program courses are a plus).

• Proven experience managing data integrations and pipelines, specifically between Anaplan and Snowflake.

• Track record of delivering end-to-end model builds independently

• Strong financial acumen with a solid understanding of three-statement financial models (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) and accounting standards knowledge (IFRS, US GAAP, lease accounting, stock compensation)

• Strong communication skills with the ability to bring non-technical stakeholders along on the journey.

Bonus Points if you have:

• Anaplan Certified Solutions Architect status.

• Workday integration experience

• Experience in a fast-moving, multinational financial services or fintech environment.

• Familiarity with IFPR and regulations governing FCA-regulated financial services firms.

• Experience with Python, SQL, or automated integration tools (like CloudWorks or Anaplan Connect) to optimise data flows.
