If you’re ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us.

Attributes We Value

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.

Our Product Designers support and shape the evolution of Airwallex products. Working cross‑functionally you will ensure consistency with, and contribute to, our brand and product architecture. We have big plans.

What You'll Do:

• Partner with Product Managers, Engineers, Product Strategists, and Writers to define problems & goals, map user flows, prototype interactions, and launch new products and services.
• Indirectly lead the work of a team of talented designers, product managers and engineers as the defacto creative director of innovative projects.
• Build strong relationships with leaders inside and outside of core product teams; show strong communication and executive stakeholder management skills.
• Have a keen understanding of research methods, technological, business and user opportunities and constraints.

What You'll Bring:

• 8+ years of experience in product design.
• Excellent UX, visual and interaction skills and craft —a master in your field.
• The ability to define direction and process, and lead others through it.
• Can effortlessly motivate and drive small to medium teams to transform a product.
• Demonstrated ability to help a team navigate ambiguity, set vision, and set strategy for global products.
• Systems‑thinker with the ability to think beyond the pixels and design for offline experiences.
• Experience with making complex information, tools, and services easily digestible for your audience.
• Strong storytelling, presentation, communication and stakeholder management skills.
• 0 to 1 experience experience redesigning major elements of product, experience, or service design.

At Airwallex you’ll have the ability to make an impact in a rapidly growing, global fintech. We want you to share in our success, which is why you’ll be offered a competitive salary plus valuable equity within Airwallex.
