What you'll do
As a Product Sales, SME & Mid Market (Payments & Billing), you will drive net-new revenue across a defined territory of high-potential SME and mid-market customers in Australia. You will own the full sales cycle from prospecting through to close, with a focus on Airwallex’s Payments and Billing solutions and how they connect into our broader financial stack across our other products.
You will help drive adoption across key use cases including card acquiring, alternative payment methods, invoicing, subscription management and usage-based billing. You will also work closely with Product, Engineering, Operations and other cross-functional teams to solve customer challenges, provide market feedback and help shape how Airwallex scales its Payments and Billing solutions across ANZ.
This role can either be based in Sydney or Melbourne.
Responsibilities:
Drive net-new adoption of Airwallex’s Payments and Billing solutions, including card acquiring, alternative payment methods, invoicing and subscription management, across SME and mid-market prospects in Australia.
Own the full sales cycle across your territory, from prospecting and qualification through to solution design, negotiation, close and handover to post-sales teams, while consistently delivering against net-new customer acquisition and revenue targets.
Lead structured discovery to understand customers’ billing, payments and revenue workflows, then collaborate with Product, Solutions Engineering and other internal experts to architect tailored solutions that combine Airwallex’s Payments, Billing and broader financial capabilities, including card acquiring, local payment methods, Global Accounts and FX.
Lead high‑quality presentations and demos tailored to multiple stakeholders, including CXO‑level decision‑makers, clearly articulating the commercial value of Airwallex Billing.
Leverage your industry network to open doors, secure new customers and create references, including case studies, early adopter testimonials and joint success stories.
Partner closely with Strategy, Revenue Operations and Product Marketing to build targeted campaigns, segmentation and plays that accelerate payments and billing adoption.
Maintain accurate pipeline, forecasting and CRM hygiene to give clear visibility of coverage, risks and opportunities in your territory.
