  • Advise on the overall commercial strategy of Greater China, and plan and coordinate internal resources for key commercial initiatives and deals

  • Lead and contribute to internal cross-team projects to standardize and improve commercial processes and systems, including but not limited to commercial SOPs, CRM systems, data analytics toolkits, training programs, etc.

  • Taking direct accountability for driving the most critical/complex special projects

  • Co-ordinating with colleagues across functional areas and Airwallex globally to enable us to deliver against our commercial, product and operational priorities

What you will bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree or above from a top institution

  • 4-8 years of work experience with relevant background in a top-tier consulting firm, VC or investment bank

  • Passionate about startup culture, with a strong ownership mentality, high resilience under pressure, and abilities to navigate through a global organization
