  • Review and update manuals, policies and procedures to ensure compliance with laws and regulations in the regions in which Airwallex operates

  • Liaise with senior stakeholders of the Airwallex group, located around the world.

  • Manage external counsel and consultants on regulatory matters.

  • Negotiate complex and novel agreements with our strategic and banking partners

  • Support government relations outreach to legislators and regulatory agencies
