What you’ll do

Airwallex is seeking a seasoned Associate Director of Revenue Strategy to lead high-stakes commercial initiatives for our Enterprise segment across the Americas. This is a leadership role designed for a heavy hitter who can bridge the gap between high-level corporate strategy and the tactical realities of winning complex, multi-million dollar deals.

You will be the strategic architect behind our Enterprise GTM motion, working directly with executive leadership to refine our competitive positioning, optimize the revenue funnel, and penetrate new markets (US, Canada, and LATAM). We need a leader who deeply understands the nuances of Enterprise Payments and Financial Infrastructure and can empower our global sales organization to win in a crowded marketplace.

Responsibilities

• Lead Enterprise GTM Strategy: Define and execute the long-range strategic roadmap for the Americas Enterprise business, ensuring alignment between regional revenue targets and global product capabilities.

• Architect Commercial Frameworks: Partner with Enterprise Sales leadership to design sophisticated commercial structures, pricing models, and value-realization frameworks that accelerate deal cycles and maximize LTV.

• High-Stakes Business Development: Act as a strategic advisor on "must-win" Enterprise accounts, helping formulate bespoke value propositions and engaging with C-suite stakeholders at Fortune 500-level companies.

• Drive Cross-Functional Orchestration: Lead complex, large-scale projects involving Legal, Compliance, Product, and Finance to remove friction from the Enterprise onboarding journey and ensure seamless service delivery.

• Optimize Sales Effectiveness: Direct the development of advanced sales enablement tools and methodologies, using data-driven insights to coach frontline teams on competitive displacement and complex solution selling.

• Product-Revenue Feedback Loop: Serve as the primary commercial voice to the Product organization, translating Enterprise market requirements into prioritized roadmaps that unlock significant ARR.

• Strategic Planning & Analytics: Own the regional planning and budgeting process, establishing North Star metrics and translating them into actionable, quantitative execution plans for the commercial team.

• GTM Experimentation & Innovation: Design and oversee rigorous GTM experiments to test new vertical entries, partner ecosystems, and lead-gen channels, scaling what works across the region.
