About Airwallex
Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 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 2,700 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.

How you'll make impact
Enterprise finance teams rarely choose a spend platform alone. ERP vendors, consultancies, procurement and T&E platforms, and technology partners are usually involved. You'll build and run the partnerships that put Airwallex in front of those buyers, turning them into a repeatable source of pipeline and revenue across Europe. This is a hands-on commercial role with a number to hit.
Define the EMEA partnership strategy, joint business plans, and KPIs, including partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, revenue, and activation.
Source, negotiate, and close partners across consultancies and GSIs, ERP and procurement ecosystems, technology partners, and private equity firms.
Enable partner sales teams to position Airwallex with confidence, and work with Enterprise AEs to bring partners into live deals early.
Run regular business reviews with priority partners, and own commercial terms, amendments, and renewals with Legal.
Plan joint events and campaigns with Partner Marketing.
Feed partner and customer insight to Product, and document what works in repeatable playbooks.
You'll work from our London office three days a week.
What we're looking for
Essentials
6+ years in partnerships, alliances, channel, or business development, ideally in SaaS or fintech.
A quota-carrying background, with a track record of closing enterprise deals or revenue-generating partnerships.
Experience selling to or through Finance, Procurement, or IT leaders, including CFOs, FDs, and Heads of Procurement.
A network in at least one of consultancies, ERP or T&E ecosystems, or private equity.
Confidence structuring and negotiating commercial agreements, and influencing senior stakeholders.
An ownership mindset: comfortable building from a blank page and measuring the result.
Preferred
Familiarity with spend management, corporate cards, AP automation, or cross-border payments.
Experience with marketplace or integration-led partner programmes.
Additional European languages.
You'll thrive here if
You have a track record of hitting your numbers, and you're motivated by stretch goals.
You're comfortable with ambiguity. Give you a problem, not a prescription, and you'll run with it.
You own the outcome and you don't wait for permission to fix what's broken.
You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.
You know when to align and when to just decide. Collaboration isn't a way to avoid accountability.
