Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time intelligent economy. More than 676000 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. Were 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.

Were co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore with more than 2300 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.

About the team

T:0s mission is to make finance run itself. We are turning accounting into autonomous infrastructure that closes the books reconciles and reports continuously so the people who own the outcome can stop worrying about busy work and start focusing on strategic decisions. Were a small elite builder-focused team inside Airwallex moving at startup speed with a scaled companys infrastructure and distribution behind us.

What youll do

Youll be our first GTM hire. Theres no playbook to hand you - building it is the practice it looks like sending the outbound yourself working inbound lead that comes in getting a founder from first call to paying customer in one conversation and figuring out which channels actually produce before we spend real money on any of them. Youll try a bunch of things every week most wont work and youll find the couple that do and go hard on them.

This role is based in San Francisco.

Responsibilities:

• Build the GTM engine from scratch. Stand up and personally run our outbound motion lists sequences messaging follow-up. Triage and prioritize inbound. Youre not managing this work; youre doing it.

• Own the CRM and the sales process end to end. Define the stages keep the data clean and make the pipeline something the whole company can trust.

• Sell to US startups fast. Our current ICP is US-based seed-to-Series-A companies. The motion needs to be high-volume low-friction and ideally close in a single call - with a clear path toward self-serve and PLG. Youll design for that from day one.

• Expand where the business goes next. The ICP wont stand still. As we grow youll open new segments yourself - sourcing the leads running longer and more considered sales cycles and building that motion alongside the fast one. Experience with more complex multi-stakeholder deals is a real asset here.

• Generate your own pipeline. In partnership with our Head of Marketing youre responsible for making leads exist - not waiting for them to arrive.

• Work closely with Airwallexs Startups team to keep the two motions aligned and compounding.

Who you are
