Staff Product Designer, Spend

Design at Airwallex

Design at Airwallex sits close to the centre of the product, which is exactly what makes it a team for designers who are looking for impact, not just execution. You work side by side with product and engineering from day one, challenging the brief and shaping the solution to deliver the best outcomes for our customers. Design is an equal partner in defining what gets built and how it comes together.

Our designers have real access to senior leadership. The problems are complex, the standards are high, and the impact is visible at a global scale. Airwallex is growing fast, and our design team keeps pace. This is a genuinely exciting stage to be doing work that matters.

If you're on the steep ramp in your career and want influence, ambitious work, and the chance to grow fast, this is a rare place to do it.
