About the team
The Financial Crimes Compliance team builds and oversees Airwallex's global financial crime framework across AML/CTF, sanctions, risk assessment, FCC operations, monitoring and testing, and investigations. The team works closely with Product, Operations, Risk, Regulatory Legal & Compliance, and regional MLROs to make sure our controls are well designed, practical, and effective as Airwallex scales globally.
What you'll do
As Senior Manager, Financial Crime Programs, you'll lead a multi-year effort to strengthen Airwallex's global financial crime framework as we scale across products and regions. This is a new role with broad scope: you'll shape the target operating model, improve processes and systems, and bring stronger discipline to FCC-wide change. You'll be the central connector across senior leaders and cross-functional teams, making sure work is practical, well sequenced, and built to stick in BAU.
This role is hybrid. Based in New York.
Responsibilities:

• Lead a global, multi-year FCC transformation across operating model, process, systems, testing, and controls.
• Build and drive the roadmap, with clear sequencing across priorities, dependencies, and risks.
• Use AI, automation, and data tools to improve FCC program tracking, reporting, and delivery across complex global workstreams.
• Run disciplined governance across working groups, SteerCos, RAID, and executive updates.
• Work hands-on with FCC and cross-functional leaders to turn complexity into clear plans, decisions, and action.
• Define success measures, evidence progress, and lead smooth transition into BAU.
