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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The CEO Office Strategy & Operations team partners directly with Airwallex's executive leadership on the company's most important priorities.

We work across regions and functions to turn complex, ambiguous problems into clear decisions and executable plans. Our work spans market expansion, new business and product initiatives, operating model design, and other strategic priorities that require coordination across multiple parts of Airwallex.

The team combines rigorous problem-solving with hands-on execution. We don’t stop at making recommendations—we work with Product, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, Risk, Finance, Treasury, Operations, and Commercial teams to turn strategy into reality.

It is a high-visibility, fast-moving environment for people who enjoy solving difficult problems, working across disciplines, and building things where the playbook does not yet exist.
