If you’re ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us.

The Role

We are looking for an Associate Director, Payments/Scheme Economics to own the integrity, visibility, and management of Airwallex’s payment costs, starting with card scheme fees and interchange fees across Visa and Mastercard. Reporting to the Head of Strategic Finance, you will be the subject matter expert on scheme economics, translating complex and rapidly changing network rules into accurate system configurations, financial outcomes, and business decisions. You will ensure we understand what every payment should cost, that those costs are accurately reflected across our systems and financials, and that we systematically identify opportunities to improve payment economics as we scale. Over time, the remit will expand across other card schemes, local payment methods, and the broader payments cost base.

Responsibilities

•

Own scheme economics and rule interpretation: Maintain deep expertise across scheme fees, interchange, and network rules. Interpret scheme bulletins, operating regulations, and fee schedules, translating changes into clear financial, product, and operational requirements.

•

Ensure accurate payment cost configuration: Translate complex scheme rules into fee tables, eligibility criteria, and transaction-level logic. Partner with Product and Engineering to ensure cost calculation, allocation, and customer billing accurately reflect current network rules across markets and payment flows.

•

Protect payment cost integrity: Establish robust governance, testing, and controls across scheme configurations. Reconcile expected costs against actual network charges, identify anomalies and leakage, and drive root-cause resolution.

•

Build granular visibility into payment economics: Develop robust models and analytics across markets, products, payment methods, and transaction types, creating a clear view of unit economics, margin drivers, and cost movements.

•

Drive structural cost and margin optimization: Identify, quantify, and execute opportunities to improve economics through transaction qualification, BIN routing, cost configuration, and other levers. Partner with Product, Finance, and Commercial teams to prioritize the highest-value opportunities.

•

Shape pricing and commercial decisions: Translate underlying payment economics into recommendations for customer pricing, product design, new market launches, and commercial strategy, ensuring growth is supported by sustainable unit economics.

•

Build scalable infrastructure and automation: Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data teams to strengthen cost engines, fee allocation logic, dashboards, and automated controls. Apply AI and advanced analytics to accelerate rule interpretation, detect anomalies, and surface optimization opportunities.

•

Own complex scheme economics issues: Serve as the escalation point for scheme pricing, interchange, and rule-related questions, working directly with Visa, Mastercard, and other payment partners where required.
