The company operates across 27 offices globally with 2,300+ employees and is valued at $11 billion, backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Visa, Mastercard, and Sequoia.
As Senior Manager of Regulatory Operations for APAC, you will lead the operational execution of regulatory and partner obligations across Airwallex's Asia-Pacific licensed entities and products. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role within the Regulatory & Compliance team, working at the intersection of law, regulation, risk, and business execution.
Key responsibilities include: identifying and operationalizing regulatory obligations across APAC jurisdictions and translating them into governance, controls, and execution requirements; designing and implementing key regulatory controls end-to-end in partnership with Product, Operations, Engineering, and Risk teams; building and maintaining regulator-ready documentation including obligation mappings, control descriptions, RACIs, and testing approaches; engaging confidently with regulators, auditors, and financial partners on control inquiries; supporting regulatory exams, audits, inspections, and RFIs by coordinating responses and maintaining exam-ready documentation; managing governance processes for material control changes; contributing to regional regulatory reporting and obligations governance; identifying and driving remediation of gaps and inconsistencies in obligations and controls across APAC; and maintaining accurate records in GRC tooling and compliance dashboards while supporting transition to AI-native tools.
You bring 10+ years of experience in regulatory operations, compliance, internal audit, or risk management within fast-growing tech startups or financial services/fintech companies. You have proven ability to translate legal and regulatory requirements into operational controls, procedures, and testing activities—not just policy drafting. You have direct experience supporting regulatory exams, audits, and inspections. You are thoughtful, practical, and energized by solving complex problems in regulated environments. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles. You're humble, collaborative, and focused on getting things done end-to-end.
