This dynamic role is ideal for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats and solving complex issues for our clients, is detail oriented, willing to take on challenges and changes, obsessively curious and intellectually honest, thrives on taking actions and delivering impactful results, and aims to inspire and be inspired.

  • Review and update manuals, policies and procedures to ensure compliance with laws and regulations in the regions in which Airwallex operates

  • Liaise with senior stakeholders of the Airwallex group, located around the world.

  • Manage external counsel and consultants on regulatory matters.

  • Develop and manage Airwallex’s regulatory submissions and filings, and report on regulatory requirements internally and in regulatory filings

  • Negotiate complex and novel agreements with our strategic and banking partners

  • Support government relations outreach to legislators and regulatory agencies

Who you are

We're looking for people who meet the minimum requirements for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Juris Doctor and 5+ years of post-qualification experience

  • Strong regulatory experience gained in the fintech industry, reputable law firms or financial institutions

  • Sound knowledge of the financial services regulatory environment

  • Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to deal with a range of internal and external stakeholders

  • Proactive, results-driven, and take ownership of your work.

  • Ability to multi-task and a team player with strong communication skills

  • Strong drafting skills

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience working with stakeholders across the globe
