Global Complaints Team Lead

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.

Leadership & Team Management

• Lead and develop a team of Business Complaints Officers in Budapest, managing daily operations and maintaining a high-quality, high-care culture
• Coach officers on complaint writing quality, regulatory obligations, and fair customer outcomes
• Monitor team KPIs and SLA performance, addressing underperformance proactively and recognising strong work
• Act as the primary escalation point for complex, sensitive, or high-risk cases

Customer Focus & Quality

• Ensure every complaint is resolved fairly and in line with regulatory requirements
• Review and quality-check case outputs, delivering structured feedback and coaching
• Champion the customer internally — use complaint insights to advocate for product and process improvements across the business

Analytical Thinking & Reporting

• Identify trends in complaint data and translate them into actionable insights for the team and senior stakeholders
• Contribute to MBR-level reporting on complaint volumes, SLA performance, and root causes
• Use tools including Zendesk, Looker, and internal dashboards to manage workload and quality proactively

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work cross-functionally with Operations, Product, Compliance, and WFM to resolve systemic issues
• Engage with regulatory bodies as required, ensuring timely and accurate responses
• Represent the complaints team in senior forums and contribute to the global complaints strategy

About You

• You have at least 12 months' experience as a Complaints Specialist or 24 months experience as a Complaints Officer or in a senior/leadership role in customer service or complaints handling
• You're a natural people developer — you coach, challenge, and genuinely care about the growth of your team
• You're analytical — you can spot trends in data, ask the right questions, and turn insight into action
• You communicate clearly and confidently, adapting your style for different audiences — from frontline officers to senior stakeholders
• You're customer-obsessed: fair outcomes for customers are your non-negotiable
• You're organised and reliable — you manage your team's workload and your own with care and precision
• You're comfortable using Zendesk, Looker, or similar tools — or eager to build that capability

Salary for the role - 1,120,00 HUF to 1,440,000 HUF gross monthly (+RSU's)
