About Airwallex

Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 676,000 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. We're 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.

We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,300 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.

We're looking for a sales-driven, high-energy individual to join our Enterprise Sales team in China. In this role, you’ll be responsible for identifying, prospecting, negotiating, and closing high-value enterprise deals across a range of verticals.

  • Develop and execute strategic engagement plans tailored to key prospects.

  • Own your sales pipeline with precision - managing deal flow and providing accurate, timely forecasts.

  • Anticipate client challenges and proactively offer solutions that drive business value.

  • Deliver a high-impact, insight-led experience at every stage of the prospect and customer journey

Minimum qualifications:

  • 5–8+ years of experience in complex technology sales within enterprise accounts; experience in fintech or payments is a strong plus.

  • Consistent track record of meeting or exceeding sales quotas, with experience managing full sales pipelines.

  • Outstanding communication and presentation skills, with the ability to distill complex solutions into clear, compelling narratives.

  • Results-driven, accountable, and aligned to key performance indicators and business outcomes.

  • Willingness to travel as needed and work effectively.
