    • Proudly founded in Melbourne, we have a team of over 2,200 of the brightest and most innovative people in tech across 26 offices around the globe. Valued at US$8 billion and backed by world-leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Visa, Mastercard, Robinhood Ventures, Sequoia, Salesforce Ventures, DST Global, and Lone Pine Capital, Airwallex is leading the charge in building the global payments and financial platform of the future. If you're ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us. 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. The Corporate Affairs team at Airwallex is dedicated to managing the company's reputation and fostering strong relationships with key stakeholders. We handle public relations, government affairs, and corporate communications to ensure transparent and effective engagement. By advocating for Airwallex's interests and navigating complex regulatory environments, we support the company's strategic goals and growth. Reporting to the Director of Social Impact, you will be building and implementing Airwallex's impact initiatives and strategy around the world. As a fairly new function, and as the 3rd team member after the President/Co-founder Lucy Liu and the Director, you will play a critical role in building Airwallex's impact function globally - it is a "zero to one" role, a startup within a startup. The remit of Airwallex's impact function can best be understood as a question: How can Airwallex - a purpose-driven business that exists to help businesses thrive - leverage its unique constellation of business assets (e.g., product, technology, data, talent, capital, brand, network) to contribute to society, while ensuring activities help support Airwallex's long-term business objectives, whether it be strengthening brand trust, contributing to the employee value proposition, etc. A core part of the role will be leading our initiative to drive Airwallex platform adoption amongst organizations that serve the world such as social enterprises, nonprofits, and multilaterals, and thereby helping these organizations better serve the world. You will also have opportunities to lead a variety of other initiatives, and will only be bounded by your own capacity. Airwallex's commitment to impact is underpinned by its participation in Pledge 1%, a global movement for corporate impact, where Airwallex has pledged 1% of its equity, product, profits, and time toward contributing to society. The role will be based in London.
