Midweight Motion Designer

Company Overview

Wise is a global technology company, building the best way to move and manage the world’s money. We aim for minimum fees, maximum ease, and full speed in international money transfers. Whether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money. As part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money, for everyone, everywhere.

The Role: Midweight Motion Designer

We’re looking for a Midweight Motion Designer to join our newly set up APAC Brand and Creative team in Singapore. You’ll play a key part in helping our in-house agency create impactful, recognisable and effective marketing assets, helping Wise reach millions of existing and potential customers around the world.

The ideal candidate will be an ambitious, passionate, self-starter with at least 5 years experience in similar in-house teams or branding agencies with exceptional communication skills – both with peers and stakeholders. We’re looking for someone with strong design and motion skills, excellent visual communication abilities, creative optimism, and a hunger to learn and tackle challenges. Someone who is truly social-first in their thinking, with a solid understanding of how to design for digital platforms – from knowing what works across different social channels to adapting creative for various formats, behaviours and audience expectations – underpinned by an intuitive understanding of regional cultural nuances and creative formats across Asian markets. Ideally, you would also feel comfortable using and experimenting with new AI tools to enhance creativity and speed up workflows.

Our Mission

Wise exists to build money without borders. Over a decade ago, we challenged the way the world moves money – cutting out hidden fees and making international finance simpler and fairer. Today, we help millions of people and businesses send, spend and manage money across countries with ease, making money simple, accessible and smart for everyone, everywhere.

About the Brand and Creative Team

The Brand and Creative team is made up of 25+ people and based in London and Singapore. As a team our mission is to bring Wise’s story to life with clarity and creative excellence. We champion the brand across every touchpoint – making complex financial ideas simple, human and engaging. From big campaigns to everyday content, we work to ensure Wise is recognised and trusted worldwide, helping people and businesses move money faster, cheaper and more transparently.
