Manager, FCC Monitoring & Testing, Americas

What we're looking for

Essentials

• Deep understanding of global AML and Sanctions frameworks, including regulatory expectations across the US regions.
• Proven experience in program monitoring and testing, with evidence of enhancing the effectiveness of a financial crime compliance program.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with demonstrated ability to engage senior executives, regulators and global business leaders on complex financial crime risk matters.
• Experience operating in a second-line financial crime compliance, risk or assurance function, with the independence and judgment to assess program effectiveness.
• Strong understanding of sanctions oversight and its role within an FCC Program.
• Ability to work autonomously, manage your own workload and deliver high-quality, well-documented work across multiple jurisdictions and time zones.
• Experience using data analytics, automation or AI-enabled approaches to improve monitoring, testing or assurance methodologies.

Preferred

• Experience working with or supporting Group MLRO, Regional MLRO or Country MLRO functions, including governance committees, regulatory engagements and risk oversight activities.
• Risk and controls experience.

You'll thrive here if

• You're comfortable owning the roadmap yourself.
• You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.
• You hold yourself to a high standard even when no one is watching. Quality and accountability aren't external expectations; they're internal ones.
• You enjoy working closely with people across multiple countries and time zones as part of one connected, global team, including flexing your hours occasionally to make that connection work.
• You come to the table with a point of view, not just a problem.

• Learn more about your team
• Regulatory & Compliance is where we build the trust, discipline, and operational resilience required to scale a generational financial platform.

As Airwallex grows across 30+ markets, this team turns regulatory complexity into strategic control. You'll lead compliance, enterprise risk, and regulatory engagement in a way that protects the business while letting it move with conviction. Our ambition goes beyond meeting expectations: we're building a risk posture that acts as a competitive moat, grounded in ownership, proactive regulatory partnerships, and frameworks that scale globally while respecting local nuance.

• It's a team for strategic operators with sharp judgment, high standards, and the confidence to execute at pace in a high-stakes environment. You'll thrive here if you can balance rigor with progress and influence across functions.
• If you want to architect the benchmark for trust and resilience in global finance, your work here will have a massive impact.
