Director, Corporate Development & Investor Relations

How You'll Make Impact

You'll shape Airwallex's global corporate development strategy in line with the company’s long-term vision and help drive strategic growth and investor engagement globally.

• Identify, assess, and develop a pipeline of actionable M&A opportunities, from tuck-in acquisitions to larger transformational transactions.
• Lead live M&A execution, including operating and financial modelling, due diligence, cross-functional coordination, and post-acquisition integration.
• Build and maintain relationships with venture, growth, and public equity investors.
• Develop clear investor materials and communicate Airwallex’s strategy, performance, and growth drivers to internal and external stakeholders.
• Partner with Finance, Legal, Data Science, the CEO’s Office, and other teams to support fundraising, strategic finance initiatives, and high-impact decisions across the business.

This role is prioritized for New York, with San Francisco also under consideration, and you'll be expected to work from the office three days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays).

What We're Looking for

Essentials

• 10+ years of experience in top-tier investment banking, private equity, venture capital, management consulting, corporate development, or an equivalent field.
• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
• Investment banking experience, including M&A and live deal execution.
• Strong analytical skills and data literacy, with the ability to create clear, concise investment memos and financial models.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to senior management and external stakeholders.
• A track record of operating as a self-starter, prioritising effectively, and managing a demanding workload.
• A strong sense of accountability for delivering important outcomes.

Preferred

• Experience in technology, financial services, and/or a high-growth environment.

You'll Thrive Here If

• You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.
• You connect dots across functions and hold the big picture without losing grip on the details.
• You simplify complexity rather than hiding behind it.
• You come to the table with a point of view, not just a problem.
• You can advocate hard for a position, then fully support the team’s direction once a call is made.
