About this role

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.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

This role sits at the intersection of People Operations and Workplace Experience for our Paris/Berlin/Barcelona office. You will act as a critical “boots on the ground” partner, ensuring core HR operations for the EMEA team run smoothly while helping build a strong, engaging in-office culture during a period of rapid growth for EMEA.

You’ll own high-volume, detail-oriented work (onboarding, offboarding, payroll inputs, benefits) while also identifying opportunities to improve and automate processes as we scale. As part of the EMEA team, you will help with our build-out as well as opportunities to contribute to broader EMEA people operations work supporting the Region.
