Airwallex Sales Team in London

Our London office is scaling fast. We're a 140+ strong team and growing, and our Sales team is right at the heart of it. The momentum is real: we're investing over $1bn into the region and $590m into the UK. Revenue is up 116% year on year and volumes have surged 226%, and we’ve only captured a fraction of what’s possible. That's where you come in. You'll be selling a world-class proven product into a market that's still wide open. Global heavyweights like McLaren Racing, Arsenal, Bolt, Qantas, and Carwow already run on Airwallex. For you, that means real ownership from the start, a role you'll scale, and scope that grows as fast as you can sell. It's a rare moment to join: proven product, open market, and a team going places

Team FAQs

What's it like to work in Sales at Airwallex in London?

Hands-on, fast and high on ownership. London is our EMEA hub, so you're close to the action with lots of room to grow. You own your deals from start to finish, with real freedom in how you go after new business, and because we're still early, your career can move at the pace we're scaling at. It's honest work: demanding and best suited to people who like pace and accountability. But you're not doing it alone, you'll have a strong team around you, and what you hear from customers genuinely shapes what we do next. People here care deeply about what they're building, and with so much of the market still to win, it's a really exciting time to join.

What's the culture like in Sales at Airwallex in London?

Ambitious, collaborative, and fast-moving. In EMEA it can feel like a start-up within a scale-up: the pace is fast and the work is demanding, but you're backed by structured onboarding, your manager, and peers who raise your game. We're AI-native in how we sell and operate, and working across our 26 offices on five continents is how the job gets done. We succeed by working together, and our culture is defined by our people. We’re a team of sharp, self-starting tech professionals who genuinely love sharing what we know and helping each other grow. We do it all from a brand-new London office, with regular team events and the occasional office pup to keep us company.

What's the career growth like in Sales at Airwallex in London?

Think 10x, not incremental. Growth here is meritocratic: you earn bigger scope by delivering, not by waiting your turn, and because London is scaling fast, there's always more to take on. That's how people end up achieving in months what can take years elsewhere. You're supported along the way with structured onboarding, regular growth conversations with your manager, and AI upskilling built into the role rather than bolted on. The more Airwallex grows, the more room there is for you to grow with us.

What else should people know about Sales at Airwallex in London?

London is our EMEA hub and the investment going in right now is real: over $1bn into EMEA and $590m into the UK, with lots of hiring across the region. We work hybrid, three days a week in a new office built for the next stage. Our brand is still being built in many markets, so you're selling a world-class proven product with plenty of room to grow rather than something that's already won. Comp is competitive with front-loaded and uncapped commission plus pre-IPO equity, so you share in the growth you help create. And the timing matters: you'd be joining right as the pace and investment are building behind us.

Employee Reviews

Ashley

Ashley, Senior Account Executive


Ashley joined Airwallex for the rare combination of rapid growth and real ownership. As a Senior Account Executive in the London office, she’s close to decision-making, learning quickly and shaping her own approach rather than following a fixed playbook. Being in the London hub matters too: the energy of the team helps deals move faster and people sharpen each other. With London sitting between EMEA and North America, Ashley is on the front line as Airwallex expands into new markets, and she even brings prospects and customers into the office because the space itself helps tell the story.


Chris

Chris, Senior Sales Manager


Chris joined Airwallex over four years ago as an SDR, drawn by the chance to join a market-leading fintech before it had a big EMEA footprint. He’s since grown through Account Executive into a Senior Sales Manager role, building his team around the same hunger and curiosity that got him there. For Chris, the new London office is a marker of how far the business has come. What started as a 30-person setup is now a proper, grown-up hub for over 140 people. But it’s not just a milestone. He sees it as the springboard for the next phase of growth, as Airwallex moves to solidify its position across the UK and wider EMEA.

Eleanor

Eleanor, Associate Director


Eleanor joined Airwallex looking for the freedom to run enterprise accounts her own way without being boxed in by process. She found it. The business gave her the creativity and flexibility of a startup, backed by the technical muscle of an established company. What sealed it was the people. Every team she met during the interview process matched her ambition, and that's held true since. For Eleanor, the London office is a serious asset for enterprise sales. It gives her somewhere to host clients, connect them with product experts face to face, and show that Airwallex is genuinely investing in the region.

how our team influences company success

You're not just hitting targets: you help shape how we sell in the UK, build the playbook, and decide how we win new clients in a market that's still wide open. What you hear in customer conversations feeds directly into the product roadmap, so frontline insight shapes what we build next, not just what we close today. Because London is our EMEA hub at such an early stage of capture, with just a fraction of the market won, the deals you land now set the pattern for how we grow across the region. The scope you take on early compounds, and your impact is visible all the way up.

how + where we work

We work hybrid in London, three days a week from our new Fitzrovia office, a space built for the next stage of our growth, with a full calendar of team events. Sales works closely with product, marketing, and operations, and because we operate across 26 offices on five continents, working across markets is part of the everyday job. You get real autonomy over how you work, with structured onboarding and regular check-ins with your manager to help you find your feet. It's demanding, but flexible enough to let you do your best work.

compensation plan highlights

You’ll get competitive OTE, uncapped and front-loaded commission, and strong accelerators, so when you hit your number and then some, the plan rewards it rather than capping you. There's a genuine path to exceptional earnings for top performers, with clear visibility of your pipeline so you always know where you stand. On top of this, you receive pre-IPO equity through our RSU programme: you're an owner with a real stake in the company you're helping to build. As Airwallex grows, that ownership grows with you, so you share directly in the success you create.

how we use ai

We're taking an AI-native product to market, so for our Sales team AI is part of the pitch as well as how we work day-to-day. You're selling what comes next in global finance, and using AI yourself to get there, in how we research accounts, prepare for deals, and make decisions. AI upskilling is part of the role from the start, not an optional extra, so you keep learning as the tools evolve. For a salesperson that's a real edge: you're working at the front of how AI is reshaping finance, and putting it to use in live deals every day.
