Proudly founded in Melbourne, we have a team of over 1,500 of the brightest and most innovative people in tech located across more than 20 offices across the globe.

You will also be responsible for ensuring we are compliant with our licensing and other regulatory requirements by implementing appropriate measures and controls. 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. Responsibilities Coordinate with local counsel across jurisdictions such as Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, the U.S., the U.K., and the European Union to discern and devise optimal paths to market from a regulatory and legal perspective. Provide advice and support to the product team, local legal teams, support functions, Airwallex management, and the Legal, Risk, and Compliance Department. Review and update manuals, policies and procedures to ensure compliance with laws and regulations in the regions in which Yield 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. Support government relations outreach to legislators and regulatory agencies. You Have Juris Doctor and 10+ years of post-qualification experience. Background in investment products, in the broker-dealer regulatory environment or its equivalent in foreign markets. Strong regulatory experience gained in the fintech industry, reputable law firms or financial institutions. Sound knowledge of the financial services regulatory environment.
