You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor. You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next. About the team Legal & Licensing at Airwallex sits at the heart of the decisions that shape how Airwallex grows. This team backs the visionary builders transforming Airwallex into a generational financial company, sharing the journey of product development and sales alongside our business partners. You’ll help shape a global licensing footprint most fintechs wish they had, while making sure our brand and data architecture stay best-in-class for customers entering the agentic economy and ready for its regulatory demands. The hard part is helping the business move fast on product, revenue, and new-market expansion without compromising the regulatory discipline that protects the moat. It’s a team for lawyers, strategists, and licensing specialists with commercial instincts, sharp judgment, and an obsession with customer-first outcomes. If you want to guide executive decisions and help build the licensing, structure, and judgment behind what comes next, this is where legal has real leverage. What you'll do You will serve as lead for a product-counsel team that covers Embedded Finance, Payments for Platforms, Issuing, and Lending. These are some of the company's highest-growth and most complex product lines. You'll partner directly with Product, Enterprise Sales, Financial Partnerships, Risk, Regulatory Compliance, and Engineering to structure novel deal models, advise on multi-jurisdictional financial regulation, and ensure that Airwallex's EmFi products can scale globally with legal certainty. The work spans the full product lifecycle: from early-stage ideation and regulatory structuring through terms drafting, bank-partner coordination, and go-to-market readiness. You'll operate at the intersection of payments law, platform economics, and commercial strategy, supporting marquee enterprise customers and helping Airwallex build its global regulatory moat. This role is based in New York or San Francisco, US. Responsibilities: Support global enterprise AEs through structuring and driving forward Airwallex's most complex EmFi deals, and advise Product and other cross-functional teams on questions about various EmFi models. Provide practical, risk-weighted regulatory guidance on U.S. and international payments and financial services laws, including money transmission, AML/BSA, consumer protection (Reg E, UDAAP), card network rules, state licensing, and bank-partner/BaaS requirements, translating regulatory complexity into actionable product advice. Draft, review, and negotiate financial partnership agreements and platform terms and conditions, including contracts with banks, PSPs, and card networks, and manage publication of terms updates for EmFi product changes. Develop and maintain scalable legal playbooks, reference documents, and approved use-case repositories that enable Product, Commercial Legal, and Sales teams to move faster with less friction on standard deal patterns. Collaborate closely with Regulatory Legal, Data & Privacy, Risk, FCC, and Commercial Legal to ensure cross-functional alignment on product launches, GRC escalations, and regulatory exam responses. Contribute to Product Legal Readiness for new market and product launches across the global GTM roadmap, coordinating with Global Expansion & Licensing and regional product legal leads to deliver multi-jurisdictional regulatory assessments on time.

Minimum qualifications: JD (or equivalent law degree) and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. 10+ years of experience in payments, complex deal structuring, and financial regulation, with a proven ability to make decisions on the fly in the face of ambiguous regulation and novel fact patterns. Deep working knowledge of U.S. payments and financial services regulatory frameworks, including money transmission laws, AML/BSA, Reg E, UDAAP, card network rules, and bank-partner/BaaS program requirements. Demonstrated experience serving as an embedded legal partner to product and engineering teams, providing proactive counsel from ideation through launch in a fast-paced fintech or financial services environment. Strong drafting and negotiation skills, with experience structuring and negotiating agreements with banks, payment processors, card networks, or other financial partners. Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to discuss complex technical and regulatory matters clearly with all levels of seniority, including C-suite stakeholders. Preferred qualifications: Prior experience at a top-tier law firm combined with in-house experience at a fintech, payments company, or technology company offering regulated financial products. Experience with multi-jurisdictional product launches, including familiarity with European payments regulation (PSD2, e-money frameworks) or other non-U.S. financial services regimes. Track record of building legal playbooks, scalable frameworks, or internal knowledge resources that reduce friction and accelerate product development cycles.
