- Coordinate due diligence processes with prospective partners and project-manage internal stakeholders through commercial and legal negotiations and on-boarding with new partners
- Work with internal stakeholders to support the relationships with our banking and financial institution partners
- Establish relationships with key banks and financial institution partners in the Americas
You Are:
- You are an exceptional communicator – able to connect with people at all levels, both internally and with external stakeholders, and communicate project expectations effectively
- You thrive under pressure – and work well with constant change and the ambiguity of a startup environment
- You have the foundation to develop strong negotiation skills – and to navigate complex commercial discussions to ensure the best outcome for Airwallex
- You are a team player - able to work cohesively with colleagues from across the organization and across the globe
- You are ambitious - and are excited to grow with Airwallex as we expand in many different areas across geographies and product lines
