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

We are building a new Enterprise Spend team – a dedicated motion focused on winning and expanding large enterprise customers around Airwallex’s spend management and expense solutions. This is a greenfield opportunity: you will be among the first Enterprise AEs in the Enterprise team, helping define the sales playbook, shape GTM strategy, and close the deals that put Airwallex on the map in the enterprise spend category.

As a Senior Enterprise Account Executive, you will own the full sales cycle for complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities – targeting CFOs, Finance Directors, and Heads of Operations at companies with significant spend complexity. You bring a consultative, value-led approach and the gravitas to lead conversations at the C-suite.
