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

Airwallex is scaling its Yield product across existing and new markets, creating complex legal and regulatory questions across product design, partner arrangements, customer documentation and launch execution. You'll be the embedded legal partner helping the product team turn those questions into practical solutions.

• Own legal support for the global Yield Product team from product design and ideation through launch, market expansion and ongoing product changes.

• Advise on the legal and regulatory requirements for launching Yield, or equivalent products, in new jurisdictions, working closely with local regulatory colleagues and external counsel.

• Translate complex, cross-jurisdictional requirements into practical product decisions, including product requirements, customer terms, disclosures and launch-readiness materials.
