Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As an Associate Director, Growth Innovation at Airwallex, you will lead the design, execution, and scaling of high-impact growth experiments—particularly in Rewards and Campaigns—to drive measurable outcomes in customer acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue. This role is pivotal in transforming innovative ideas into scalable, data-backed programs that accelerate Airwallex’s global expansion and deepen customer engagement across markets.
• You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of growth experiments: defining hypotheses, identifying target segments, designing test frameworks, collaborating with cross-functional teams in Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Data Science to ship initiatives, and synthesizing insights into strategic recommendations for leadership. Your work will directly influence go-to-market strategies and resource allocation, ensuring experiments are not only creative but also rigorously measured and compliant.
• You will build and scale the growth experimentation infrastructure by establishing standardized processes for experiment governance, instrumentation, and decision logging, ensuring reliable data collection and consistent, evidence-based decision-making across the organization. This includes creating repeatable systems that enable faster learning and higher velocity in innovation cycles.
• You will partner closely with the Creative Lead to develop, test, and optimize growth-focused assets—including visual, copy, and video content—ensuring alignment with brand voice and product strategy while running structured creative tests to maximize conversion and engagement.
• You will lead and mentor a small, high-performing team, fostering a culture of curiosity, ownership, and execution excellence. Your leadership will focus on developing talent, raising the bar for experimentation quality, and enabling team members to take end-to-end ownership of growth initiatives from ideation to scale.
• You will operate within a collaborative, results-driven Growth team that values creativity, data-driven decision-making, and a builder’s mindset. Airwallex’s culture emphasizes first-principles thinking, humility, and relentless execution—where you’ll work alongside exceptional peers in a global environment backed by $8B valuation and world-class investors to shape the future of global financial infrastructure.
• In this role, you will accelerate your professional growth by tackling high-visibility, complex problems at the intersection of product, marketing, and data. You’ll gain deep expertise in scaling growth levers in fintech and B2B SaaS, refine your ability to influence senior leadership with data-backed narratives, and build a legacy of innovation that directly contributes to Airwallex’s mission of empowering global businesses with seamless financial tools.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in growth, with at least 3 years of people management experience leading teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline such as Business, Marketing, Economics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven track record of designing and executing end-to-end growth experiments, including hypothesis formation, testing, measurement, and scaling of successful initiatives.
• Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience in growth analytics, experimentation frameworks (e.g., A/B testing, multivariate testing), and data-driven decision-making using tools like SQL, Excel, or BI platforms.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with demonstrated ability to influence senior leaders, align cross-functional teams, and present complex insights clearly and persuasively.
• Experience in fintech, product-led growth, or B2B SaaS environments is preferred.
• Familiarity with fast-paced, startup or scale-up settings is advantageous.
• Advanced degree (MBA or Master’s) is a plus but not required.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation package including base salary and performance-linked bonuses tied to individual and company goals.
• Equity participation through stock options, allowing you to share in Airwallex’s long-term success as a valued contributor to its $8B valuation journey.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans for you and your dependents, with global coverage options.
• Generous paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, and company holidays, plus parental leave policies supporting work-life balance.
• Access to continuous learning and development resources, including mentorship programs, internal workshops, and external course reimbursements to support career growth.
