Senior GRC Specialist

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 2,300 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.

How you'll make impact

As a Senior GRC Specialist, you'll act as the regional anchor for Mexico City while integrating closely with Airwallex's global Information Security team. Reporting to the Senior GRC Manager, you'll serve as a regional point of contact for government and regulatory bodies in Mexico, helping design and implement policies that balance regional requirements with global standards.

• Manage and monitor security controls, executing to a high standard while continuously refining and iterating.

• Serve as a trusted contact for Mexican regulatory bodies, customers, partners, and vendors, helping shape external understanding of Airwallex's security posture in the region.

• Use AI and automation to streamline compliance and security work, including reporting and communications.

• Develop and maintain security documentation, including standards, policies, reporting metrics, dashboards, and evidence artefacts for internal and external stakeholders.

• Act as a subject matter expert and generalist for security compliance in the Mexico region, balancing strategic ownership with practical, hands-on security work.

• Drive initiatives independently using project management experience, without being bound to traditional solutions or methodologies.

You'll work from our Mexico City or San Francisco office three days a week.
