Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.
We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,700 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do. Read our operating principles to see it in full.
How you'll make impact
As an Account Executive, you’ll help expand Airwallex’s presence in the US SME market by building relationships with small and mid-sized businesses across ecommerce, SaaS, professional services, and other technology-enabled sectors.
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.

Learn more about your team
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.
