About Airwallex

Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.

We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,700 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do. Read our operating principles to see it in full.

Learn more about your team

Our Enterprise team helps large, often multinational organisations solve complex financial challenges. We’ve segmented the team by the problems they solve with our customers - moving money globally and managing treasury operations internally with our Spend solution, and embedding financial services across borders to expand their product offering for their customers with our Platform solution. This role will focus on the latter, helping customers understand what is possible with third-party embedded financial services, but will work closely with other roles who focus on first-party financial operations.

It’s a team for strategic sellers with a builder mindset, who combine strategic, value-driven thinking with deep product knowledge. We are comfortable with long deal cycles, multiple stakeholders, and ambiguity in processes. We are autonomous in our approach, taking ownership of our day to day approach and success, while working collaboratively within the team for best practices. We represent ourselves and the team with integrity and thoughtfulness, working cross-functionally in a respectful and cooperative manner. If you want to work on technically complex high-consequence deals that genuinely impact how customers go to market, this is the place to do it.
