In 2023, we founded a Design Interns programme and we’re delighted to welcome new talent to our award-winning team again. 

We are looking for eight rising stars to join our Design team for a ten week paid internship programme. Design at Wise is a multidisciplinary team and we sometimes call it capital ‘D’ Design. While our craft is varied, human-centered design and design thinking unite us. 

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money.

Whether you’re sending money to another country, spending money abroad, or making and receiving international business payments, Wise is on a mission to make your life easier and save you money. 

Since it was founded in 2010, 5,000+ people work at Wise, from 125 nationalities, in 17 global locations. Check out what it’s like working here. 

You have:

• The ability to contextualize and build a narrative around your work
• Analytical, assessment and problem solving skills
• An open attitude to feedback and willingness to learn
• Foundational knowledge of the design discipline you are applying for (we don’t expect you to know everything, but you need to have enough skill to navigate the organisation and work)

You are:

• Able to start a 10 week internship from the 24th of June 2024 until the 30th of August 2024
• Available to be in person most of the time at our Shoreditch HQ (we can support local travel costs if you need it)
• Eligible to work in the United Kingdom

Qualifications aren’t that important to us. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background.  If you’re passionate about learning new things, have a good understanding of design and are keen to join our mission, we’d like to hear from you. 

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic.

You’ll be part of Wise’s global mission to build an open, fair, and human financial system - to make money without borders the new norm. Because people without borders need money without borders.

You'll be matched with a Wise sponsor in Design, collaborating with other Wisers and fellow interns on cross-functional projects. We plot our moves every quarter, and your mission will be mapped out with your sponsor. You’ll have plenty of room to help define your scope.

Here’s how you’ll be contributing:

• You’ll get to know Wise customers, building empathy and deep understanding of their needs
• You’ll be honing and flexing your craft skills in a collaborative environment
• You’ll be connecting with your sponsor, fellow interns, and the broader design community to inject fresh creative thinking into the business

What you get back: 

• Have a real impact. Solve real customer problems
• Fun offices with social activities - have a sneak peak of our London office
• Be part of a global team with a global mindset
• Meet with some of the most influential people at Wise on this programme
• Be mentored by a Design discipline expert
• Develop your craft and experiment in a live environment

• You’ve got a portfolio that demonstrates a mix of well-crafted and user centred work
• Strong visual design skills and a passion for finding solutions that allow customers to intuitively use our products
• You’re able to clearly rationalise your decisions to other team members 
• You’re curious about learning from user testing and iterating on your work 

We're people without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive. We're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.

Every Wiser should feel that they can be themselves at work. Inclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to share their contributions towards mission zero and able to progress in their careers.

Having diverse teams that reflect our diverse customer base helps us build a better product. We can be more creative and empathetic to our customer's needs and life experiences and makes sure we leave no-one behind on our journey to mission-zero.
