Proudly founded in Melbourne, we have a team of over 2,000 of the brightest and most innovative people in tech across 26 offices around the globe.

Rowe Price, Visa, Mastercard, Robinhood Ventures, Sequoia, Salesforce Ventures, DST Global, and Lone Pine Capital, Airwallex is leading the charge in building the global payments and financial platform of the future.

If you’re ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us.

We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.

You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.

Airwallex entered North America in 2021 and has since built strong momentum in both the US and Canadian markets. North America is a strategic priority for us. We are significantly expanding our presence in the region, with an established US entity and an expanding footprint in Canada. Our solutions are designed to be adaptable and scalable, ensuring that every client, regardless of their size or complexity, can run on our financial platform that precisely meets their operational demands and growth trajectories.

You’ll join our Global Leadership Team — a collaborative group of operators, strategists, and builders passionate about turning bold vision into execution. Together, we drive Airwallex’s mission to empower businesses to operate globally, without friction.

You will be the driving force behind our growth in North America — owning the full P&L and leading cross-functional execution across sales, marketing, partnerships, operations, and product localization. As the face of Airwallex in North America, you'll steer both the strategic direction and operational excellence required to establish us as the market leader in cross-border payments and modern financial infrastructure.

This is a high-impact, entrepreneurial role requiring a blend of strategic thinking, commercial acumen, and executional rigor.
