Account Manager - SME & Growth

About Airwallex

Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.

We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,700 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do.

How you'll make impact

Our SME portfolio is growing as businesses expand across borders, and this role helps them get more value from Airwallex as they do. You'll own customer growth across a portfolio of small and mid-market businesses, combining commercial judgment, consultative selling and strong execution.

• Own and grow a portfolio of small and mid-market customers in Singapore, helping them solve cross-border financial challenges and expand their use of Airwallex.

• Build trusted, multi-threaded relationships with stakeholders across commercial, finance, operations, e-commerce, product and leadership teams.

• Use customer activity, transaction data, product adoption and business developments to identify whitespace, upsell and cross-sell opportunities across cross-border payments, collections, FX, payouts, Global Accounts, cards, spend management and other financial infrastructure.

• Lead consultative discovery and commercial discussions, translating customer challenges into relevant solutions that increase wallet share, revenue and product usage.

• Partner with customers as they expand into new markets, driving activation, adoption and ongoing customer value while identifying and addressing churn risks early.

• Work closely with Sales, Product, Operations, Marketing, Strategy, Risk and Compliance to resolve issues and deliver solutions through to completion.

• Maintain accurate account plans, pipeline, forecasts, activation milestones and customer notes in CRM tools, using data, analytics, automation and AI-enabled tools to improve portfolio prioritisation.

You'll work from our Singapore office five days a week.

What we're looking for

Essentials

• 4+ years of experience in account management, relationship management, customer success, sales or a similar commercial role.

• A demonstrated track record of driving revenue growth, expansion or wallet share within existing accounts.

• Strong commercial drive and motivation to identify and pursue growth opportunities.

• Confidence engaging directly with customers and business stakeholders to understand their needs and recommend relevant solutions.

You'll thrive here if

• You own the outcome and you don't wait for permission to fix what's broken.

• You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.

• You communicate clearly and directly across cultures, and you're thoughtful about how context shifts meaning across borders.

Learn more about your team

SME & Growth at Airwallex is about more than closing deals. We help small and mid-market businesses solve real financial challenges across borders: getting paid globally, managing multi-currency accounts, paying suppliers, and running spend across markets from a single platform. You're not selling a feature. You're helping founders and finance leaders replace fragmented financial operations with one global system that actually scales.

It's a function for sellers who like to build, not follow a script: curious, resourceful, and comfortable figuring things out in markets that are still wide open. You get real autonomy to create value, build relationships, and move opportunities forward.

If you want to sell a serious product, solve real problems for ambitious businesses, and build your career fast, this is a place to do it.
