Attributes We Value
We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.
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 Role
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 this 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 an 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.
