Chief of Staff, CFO

As Chief of Staff to our Group CFO, you’ll be the CFO’s right hand across three divisions: Finance & Corporate Development, People & Talent, and global Operations.

You will run the operating rhythm that keeps those teams aligned, own the CFO’s most important projects from first framing to delivery, and help build a CFO-led programme that brings Airwallex closer to the finance leaders we serve.

Responsibilities:

• Run the CFO’s operating cadences: Ensure the smooth running of the Finance, People & Talent and Operations divisions, driving divisional OKRs, business reviews, leadership team meetings and offsites.
• Own strategic projects end to end: lead the CFO’s highest-priority cross-divisional projects, from problem definition to delivered outcome.
• Shape executive and Board communication: Support the CFO in the creation of internal and external-facing materials, including Board, Exec and Investor materials.
• Build the CFO go-to-market programme: partner with GTM to run CFO-hosted events, roundtables and a community for finance leaders, and track the commercial impact.

Who you are: Minimum qualifications:

• Proven experience, with a foundation in top-tier strategy consulting, private equity or investment banking and preferably some in-house experience in a fast-growth environment
• Strong financial acumen: you build models, read a P&L and balance sheet fluently, and frame decisions in unit economics and return on investment.
• A track record of leading complex, cross-functional programmes to completion

Preferred qualifications:

• Prior experience as Chief of Staff to a C-Suite executive
• Experience in payments, cross-border or another regulated financial services business.
• Experience with M&A/corporate finance (including fundraising)
