Job Description

Customer Support is the largest customer-facing area in Servicing. It is also where cost to serve, AI and automation, and the alignment between Operations and Product meet. We're looking for a Head of Customer Service Analytics who is passionate about our mission of Money Without Borders. You will lead all analytics for Wise's customer support operation: CS Ops, CS Product, and WFM and capacity planning.

You'll be accountable for the CS metric tree and for measuring the impact of automation and AI. You'll also build a team that improves CS cost and customer outcomes together, rather than trading one off against the other. Analytics at Wise is a core leadership engine, not a service desk. You'll be a strategic peer to CS Operations and CS Product leadership. You'll co-author OKRs, broker trade-offs between Ops and Product, and be the analytical voice in the room.

You'll lead a team of around 9 analysts and WFM specialists across London, Tallinn and Budapest, and build its first layer of analytics leads (AL2). You'll sit within the Ops & Mitigation analytics leadership group, as part of the 86-strong Servicing Analytics community and a wider community of 150+ analysts at Wise.

This is an AL3 role. For more information on our Analytics Career Map and levelling structure,click here.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Own the CS metric tree: contact rate → channel → first response → resolution → CSAT / repeat contact → cost per contact. It should roll up cleanly into Servicing's Cost and Convenience toplines.

• Make sure every CS metric has one definition and one owner in the metric store, and retire conflicting legacy dashboards.

• Set and govern CS targets with Ops and Product leadership, so we can show whether targets are being hit, not just set them.

• Own impact measurement for AI agents, self-serve and contact deflection: addressable volume, actual deflection, cost saved, and the effect on CSAT, repeat contact and quality.

• Run the experimentation and causal-inference approach for CS. Use A/B tests for customer-facing changes. Use diff-in-diff, RDD or synthetic control for ops rollouts.

• Keep automation quality trustworthy through calibration and drift monitoring on quality scoring.

• Own CS capacity planning and forecasting with WFM: demand forecasts, staffing models, SLA and wait-time trade-offs, and regional and outsourcing mix.

• Hold the three-way trade-off of customer outcomes, operational cost and team capacity, and make it explicit in every channel and staffing decision.

• Lead, coach and grow the team, and build its first AL2 layer. Set the bar for analytical quality and stakeholder impact.

• Own the CS analytics headcount plan and hiring. Sit on Servicing Analytics leadership and hiring panels.

• Shift analyst time from recurring reporting towards decision-driving work, by moving reporting into the metric store and self-serve.

Qualifications

• Significant experience leading analytics teams, ideally including leading other analytics leads or managers. You have a track record of building and developing high-performing teams.

• Strong strategic and product thinking. You can structure ambiguous business problems with minimal supervision, prioritise with senior stakeholders, and shape direction instead of just answering questions.

• Strong quantitative background (statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering, computing or a related field). You have hands-on experience with SQL, ideally dbt, and complex data models. You can review and challenge the technical work of your team.

• Experience with experimentation and causal inference, and with defining metrics and KPI frameworks.

• Excellent communication and influencing skills. You can build persuasive narratives from data for senior and executive audiences and drive real change.

• Experience with data visualisation tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI, etc.) and strong data storytelling.

• You are proactive, take ownership of your impact on customers, and go beyond the analysis to get things done.

NICE TO HAVE BUT NOT ESSENTIAL

• Experience in customer support, customer experience or operations analytics (contact demand, WFM, QA, CSAT, cost-to-serve).

• Experience applying AI or LLMs to support or analytics workflows.

• Fintech or payments experience.
