Proudly founded in Melbourne, we have a team of over 1,700 of the brightest and most innovative people in tech across 26 offices around the globe. Valued at US$6.2 billion and backed by world-leading investors including Visa, Airtree, Blackbird, Sequoia, DST Global, Greenoaks, Salesforce Ventures, Lone Pine, and Square Peg, Airwallex is leading the charge in building the global payments and financial platform of the future. If you’re ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us.

About The Team

Airwallex entered North America in 2021 and has since built strong momentum in both the US and Canadian markets. North America is a strategic priority for us. We are significantly expanding our presence in the region, with an established US entity and an expanding footprint in Canada. Our solutions are designed to be adaptable and scalable, ensuring that every client, regardless of their size or complexity, can run on our financial platform that precisely meets their operational demands and growth trajectories.

You’ll join our Global Leadership Team — a collaborative group of operators, strategists, and builders passionate about turning bold vision into execution. Together, we drive Airwallex’s mission to empower businesses to operate globally, without friction.

What You’ll Do

You will be the driving force behind our growth in North America — owning the full P&L and leading cross-functional execution across sales, marketing, partnerships, operations, and product localization. As the face of Airwallex in North America, you'll steer both the strategic direction and operational excellence required to establish us as the market leader in cross-border payments and modern financial infrastructure.

This is a high-impact, entrepreneurial role requiring a blend of strategic thinking, commercial acumen, and executional rigor.

Own and Execute North America Go-to-Market Strategy

  • Develop and refine the GTM strategy for both the US and Canada across Enterprise, SMB, and Platform segments
  • Shape product-market fit by collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, and Global GTM to influence roadmap localization
  • Build and scale partnerships and ecosystem relationships (e.g., fintechs, marketplaces, banking partners, regulators)
  • End-to-End Business Ownership

  • Manage full P&L responsibilities for North America — driving revenue growth, margin expansion, and operational efficiency
  • Oversee daily operations across customer onboarding, support, compliance, and risk
  • Proactively identify and manage market, regulatory, and operational risks across US and Canadian regions
  • Report market performance and insights to global stakeholders, including Executive and Board level
  • Who You Are

    Minimum Qualifications

  • 10+ years of relevant experience in the payments, fintech, financial services, or tech industry, or in professional services with payments experience; functional experience in management, strategy, or business development
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree from a tertiary institution is preferred, and demonstrated early success in their careers
  • Experience leading and scaling a high-growth start-up, preferably in a leadership position with direct reports and responsibility over P&L, proven experience in managing complex projects or teams
  • Experience in all facets of Enterprise, SME / SMB, GTM and Growth is a plus
  • Experience as a country manager or in market entry and growth strategy formation is a plus
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Deep understanding of the US and / or Canadian fintech / payments regulatory landscape
  • Experience across full GTM motion (sales, partnerships, marketing, operations)
  • Experience with licensing, compliance, or partnerships with regulated entities in the US or Canada
  • Equal opportunity
