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.

As an Associate, Credit Risk Operations, you will be conducting credit risk reviews of Airwallex’s clients within a team environment, with a focus on the ongoing monitoring of clientele and written-off portfolio management.

Directly engage high-risk or delinquent accounts (missed payments, negative balances, credit limit breaches) to negotiate firm, mutually viable repayment structures.
Conduct deep-dive investigations into account activity and root-cause risks to design tailored recovery plans.
Partner with Commercial and Risk Operations to resolve sensitive cases, protecting revenue while minimizing credit losses.
Ensure all collection strategies comply with local and international financial regulations and debt recovery standards.

5+ years of direct experience in B2B debt collection, commercial recovery management, or credit risk operations within fintech, SaaS, or commercial banking.
Solid understanding of bad-debt provisioning, credit risk dynamics, and debt collection compliance frameworks.
Effective communication and negotiation skills.

A results-oriented mindset with strong attention to detail and consistent follow-through.
Be comfortable with complex data and analytics to draw meaningful insights.
