Airwallex is a unified payments and financial platform serving over 250,000 global businesses including Brex, Navan, and Qantas. The company operates across 27 offices worldwide with 2,300+ employees and is valued at $11 billion, backed by leading investors including Sequoia, Visa, and Mastercard.
The Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) team operates as the independent second line of defense, owning the global AML/CTF program, sanctions framework, and risk assessment methodology across all global entities. As Airwallex scales into new markets and deepens regulatory engagement, the organization is building a world-class compliance function to manage complex financial crime risks at scale.
As Manager of FCC Monitoring & Testing for EMEA, you will shape and scale Airwallex's global financial crime compliance monitoring and testing framework, establishing a rigorous, data-driven second-line assurance function. You will independently validate the design and operating effectiveness of AML, Sanctions, and KYC/KYB controls across production environments and establish monitoring frameworks with associated metrics to support executive decision-making and ongoing program maintenance.
Key responsibilities include: developing and executing the Global FCC Monitoring & Testing Programme with robust, risk-based testing methodologies; designing comprehensive testing frameworks to validate compliance controls across customer onboarding, periodic reviews, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting; overseeing the ongoing FCC monitoring program for APAC (excluding China and Hong Kong) with KPI establishment; advancing transition from sample reviews to continuous, data-enabled assurance using analytics and automated testing; validating system-encoded controls including transaction monitoring thresholds and customer risk-rating models; translating testing outcomes into clear reporting for executive leadership; and representing FCC during regulatory examinations, audits, and banking partner reviews.
You will work closely with the broader FCC organization, Product, Engineering, Operations, and regional leadership to turn testing insights into operational accountability and a defensible compliance posture before global regulators and institutional banking partners.
