Airwallex is a unified payments and financial platform serving over 250,000 global businesses. The Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) team operates as an independent second line of defense, owning the global AML/CTF program, sanctions framework, and risk assessment methodology across all entities. As Manager of FCC Monitoring & Testing for APAC (excluding China and Hong Kong), you will lead the design and execution of Airwallex's financial crime compliance monitoring and testing framework. You will independently validate the design and operating effectiveness of AML, Sanctions, and KYC/KYB controls across production environments, establish monitoring frameworks and KPIs, and ensure control operating effectiveness supports executive decision-making and regulatory confidence. Key responsibilities include: developing and evolving the Global FCC Monitoring & Testing Programme with risk-based testing methodologies; designing comprehensive testing frameworks for customer onboarding, periodic reviews, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting; overseeing the APAC monitoring program with KPI establishment; advancing from sample-based to continuous, data-enabled assurance using analytics and automated testing; validating system-encoded controls including transaction monitoring thresholds and risk-rating models; translating testing outcomes into clear reporting for leadership and governance; 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. This is a key role in a global team driving consistent FCC standards across regions as Airwallex scales into new markets.
