Account Executive, SME & Growth, France

About Airwallex

Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 676,000 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 2,300 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. Read our operating principles to see it in full.

We are searching for an experienced Account Executive, based in Paris, who will join us as part of our founding French team.

Airwallex aspires to partner with the most ambitious businesses globally. The SME & Growth sales team is where this partnership begins.

We are looking for someone who has a passion for building relationships, selling, and negotiating, and a desire to revolutionize the way companies transact globally.

If you have a customer-first mentality, are solution-focused, obsessively curious about everything, and have the desire to make an impact and grow yourself, our market, and our customers, then you have found your calling!

You will be a part of the French Founding Team and will collaborate with peers from our other European offices: London, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv and Vilnius. We are currently 170+ employees in the EMEA and more than 1,700 globally.
