Attributes We Value

We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.

You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.

About the team

Airwallex is revolutionising global banking, and our Embedded Finance team is building the infrastructure that enables enterprises to deliver financial products and experiences to their customers.

We work with large, complex organisations—including embedded finance customers and businesses with more than 1,000 employees—to help them launch, scale and optimise Airwallex solutions. Our work spans Payments, Business Accounts, Spend and APIs, combining deep product expertise with a highly consultative, customer-first approach.

This is an opportunity to join the founding team of our EMEA Enterprise Customer Success function. You will work closely with our existing Customer Success Manager and help shape the processes, playbooks and operating model for the team as it grows.

Our UK team is growing and currently has more than 110 employees. We operate in a hybrid environment, with three days per week required in our London office at Wells & More, Fitzrovia.
