About Airwallex Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 676,000 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 2,300 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. Read our operating principles to see it in full. What you’ll do Reporting directly to the CFO, you will shape the future of Airwallex’s Finance team. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution. You will define and deliver the future of Airwallex’s global Finance function. Acting as the architect of the Finance systems landscape, you will diagnose gaps today, design the target state and build the solutions that get us there. You can see how processes, data, and platforms fit together; you can weigh build-versus-buy choices; and you can align stakeholders around a clear transformation journey.
