Here, you'll tackle complex, high-visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let's build what's next.

What you'll do

As a Product Lead, AI Growth you will define and drive the strategy, roadmap, and execution for Airwallex's next‑generation AI‑powered products. You will work at the intersection of fintech, AI/ML, and global financial operations, building intelligent automation and customer experiences that scale across regions and languages. This is a high‑impact, strategic role with the opportunity to shape the future of global payments, treasury, cards, and B2B financial operations.

Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for AI‑powered features and platforms, from ideation to launch and ongoing optimization.

• Mentor and lead a team of high impact product managers.

• Define and champion the product vision and roadmap, balancing long‑term innovation with short‑term business needs.

• Partner with engineering, data science, design, compliance, and commercial teams to deliver scalable, secure, and intuitive AI solutions.

• Drive Product‑Led Growth (PLG) initiatives, including in‑product nudges, rewards, cross‑sell systems, and lifecycle automation to enhance customer adoption, retention, and revenue generation.

• Build and ship hands‑on AI/ML‑powered products (e.g., copilots, agents, chatbots, recommendation systems), not just integrate models into existing flows.

• Leverage AI‑driven technologies and data‑driven insights to innovate, improve user experience, and reduce operational friction.

• Lead the development of customer service and support automation (e.g., bots, self‑serve flows, deflection journeys) to deliver intelligent automation across payments, onboarding, and support.

• Ensure compliance, transparency, and responsible AI practices are embedded in all products, especially in regulated domains like payments, treasury, and cards.

• Launch products across multiple regions and languages in a fast‑paced, global environment, collaborating with local teams to ensure market fit and regulatory compliance.

Minimum qualifications:

• 7+ years of product management experience owning core product areas end‑to‑end for complex, multi‑surface products (e.g., platforms, marketplaces, productivity tools), including 0→1 or early‑stage products in high‑ambiguity environments with a clear builder mindset.

• Hands‑on experience building and shipping AI/LLM‑powered products, with deep technical fluency in how modern ML systems are trained, evaluated, deployed, and monitored.

• Data‑driven, growth‑oriented problem solver with strong analytical rigor (dashboards, SQL or product analytics tools) and a track record of running experiments (e.g., A/B tests) to improve activation, adoption, or retention.

• Builder mindset, stakeholder management skills, able to align engineering, data, design, operations, CS, and GTM partners around strategy, roadmap, and execution.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in fintech, payments, treasury, cards, or B2B financial operations, including working within compliance/risk/role‑based access constraints.

• Prior work on growth, lifecycle, or PLG products (e.g., in‑product nudges, rewards, cross‑sell systems, lifecycle automation).

• Technical background or prior role in AI/ML, data science, or engineering.

• Experience building customer service/support automation (e.g., bots, self‑serve flows, deflection journeys).

• Experience launching products across multiple regions and languages in a fast‑paced, global environment.
