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 ROLE

Airwallex is looking for a Head of Product Design to lead our global team of product designers and leaders across Australia, the UK, the US, and Singapore.

We are scaling quickly as a design organization, one with a track record of building teams and sophisticated products across domains, functions, and geographies. The right candidate will have exceptional product taste and attention to detail, and the ability to scale it across the org.

This role carries real organizational authority: a seat on the Global Leadership Team, ownership of the product design budget, and a design org that is a peer to product management and engineering.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead a global team (40+) across all product verticals: Spend Management, Business Accounts, Payments, Billing, Platform, Growth, and Design Systems.

• Continue to scale our product design organization’s practice, quality standards, systems, and culture globally.
