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.

HOW YOU'LL MAKE IMPACT
Own Airwallex’s global sanctions compliance initiatives as the second-line subject matter expert for complex sanctions matches, special investigations, potential block-and-reject reporting, and sanctions-related escalations.
Maintain global sanctions procedures and provide effective oversight of first-line sanctions controls, while using management information and dashboards to monitor the health and effectiveness of the program.
Partner with Risk Product and technology teams to design, evaluate, tune, and optimize product-specific sanctions controls, screening technologies, list management systems, and case management platforms.
Translate global sanctions and export-control developments into practical control enhancements, targeted training, written regulatory updates, and clear guidance for teams across Airwallex. You’ll also lead responses to banking partners and other external stakeholders on sanctions inquiries and due diligence reviews.
