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.

We are seeking a visionary, hands-on Director of Product Design to define the future of Airwallex’s payments platform, the global infrastructure that powers how businesses accept payments online and in-person across currencies, methods, and markets. You will own the design strategy and execution of our core payments capabilities, including global e-commerce, point-of-sale, one-click-checkout, and risk and compliance-critical experiences.
You’ll partner closely with product and engineering leaders across Payments and Risk teams, and lead a high-performing team of product designers building powerful payment experiences, APIs, and workflows.
