If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.About the teamT:0’s mission is to make finance run itself. We are turning accounting into autonomous infrastructure that closes the books, reconciles, and reports continuously, so the people who own the outcome can stop worrying about busy work and start focusing on strategic decisions. We're a small, elite, builder-focused team inside Airwallex, moving at startup speed with a scaled company's infrastructure and distribution behind us.What you’ll doYou'll be our first GTM hire. There's no playbook to hand you - building it is the work. In practice it looks like sending the outbound yourself, working inbound lead that comes in, getting a founder from first call to paying customer in one conversation, and figuring out which channels actually produce before we spend real money on any of them. You'll try a bunch of things every week, most won't work, and you'll find the couple that do and go hard on them.This role is based in San Francisco.Responsibilities:Build the GTM engine from scratch. Stand up and personally run our outbound motion — lists, sequences, messaging, follow-up. Triage and prioritize inbound. You're not managing this work; you're doing it.Own the CRM and the sales process end to end. Define the stages, keep the data clean, and make the pipeline something the whole company can trust.Sell to US startups, fast. Our current ICP is US-based seed-to-Series-A companies. The motion needs to be high-volume, low-friction, and ideally close in a single call - with a clear path toward self-serve and PLG. You'll design for that from day one.Expand where the business goes next. The ICP won't stand still. As we grow, you'll open new segments yourself - sourcing the leads, running longer and more considered sales cycles, and building that motion alongside the fast one. Experience with more complex, multi-stakeholder deals is a real asset here.Generate your own pipeline. In partnership with our Head of Marketing, you're responsible for making leads exist - not waiting for them to arrive.Work closely with Airwallex's Startups team to keep the two motions aligned and compounding.Who you areWe're looking for people who meet the minimum requirements for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory.Minimum qualifications:You've been the first (or only) GTM person somewhere before, and you liked it. You have a 0-to-1 mentality and real early-stage startup experience.You've built a sales motion, not just operated one someone else already proved out.You're comfortable selling to founders and operators at small companies - quick calls, quick decisions, high volume - and you've sold across deal shapes, including longer, multi-stakeholder cycles.You're the person who books the thing instead of just suggesting it. If you can get a stranger on a call and leave with a yes, and you'd rather do something scrappy today than something perfect next week, we want to talk.Preferred qualifications:Experience selling fintech products, especially in accounting, bookkeeping, or the founder finance stack.Have built out and managed a CRMHave utilized AI to automate sales outboundingApplicant Safety Policy: Fraud and Third-Party RecruitersTo protect you from recruitment scams, please be aware that Airwallex will not ask for bank details, sensitive ID numbers (i.e. passport), or any form of payment during the application or interview process.
