You'll own the full sales cycle, from outbound prospecting and discovery through solution design, negotiation, close, and early customer success. Translate complex financial technology into clear business value, helping customers simplify cross-border payments, billing, spend management, and other financial operations. Build strong customer outcomes by coordinating with internal teams, representing Airwallex at relevant industry events, and engaging technology partners. Improve the efficiency and scalability of our sales motion by contributing to sales process refinement, new vertical development, and best-practice documentation.

You'll work from our San Francisco or New York City office at least three days a week.

• Experience selling to one or more of the following: ecommerce, SaaS or subscription businesses, spend management or finance teams, or other technology-enabled or professional services organizations.
• A consistent record of pipeline generation and outbound prospecting.
• Proficiency with CRM systems, such as Salesforce, and sales enablement tools.
• Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills.

• You have experience at a fintech, payments company, or other highly regulated business.
• You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.

SME & Growth at Airwallex is about more than closing deals. We help small and mid-market businesses solve real financial challenges across borders: getting paid globally, managing multi-currency accounts, paying suppliers, and running spend across markets from a single platform. You're not selling a feature. You're helping founders and finance leaders replace fragmented financial operations with one global system that actually scales.

It's a function for sellers who like to build, not follow a script: curious, resourceful, and comfortable figuring things out in markets that are still wide open. You get real autonomy to create value, build relationships, and move opportunities forward.

If you want to sell a serious product, solve real problems for ambitious businesses, and build your career fast, this is a place to do it.
