About the team

The Legal, Risk & Compliance (LRC) team at Airwallex is a collaborative group of legal minds and risk management experts. We're passionate about safeguarding Airwallex's operations, fostering a culture of compliance and ethical conduct, and ensuring we navigate the global financial landscape with integrity. We provide expert guidance and support to all areas of the business, proactively identifying, mitigating, and managing legal, compliance and financial risks.

The Global Regulatory Compliance Team forms part of the second line of defence (2LOD) at Airwallex whilst operating within the larger LRC function.

What you'll do

As Manager, Regulatory Compliance (Mexico), you’ll lead regulatory engagement for Airwallex in the region.

You’ll assess new and existing products, provide guidance to ensure 2LOD controls are fit for purpose, and partner with the first line to strengthen customer-facing and back-office processes while ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations.

This hybrid role is based in Mexico City, and in-office attendance will be required.
