Attributes We Value

We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.

You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Growth Strategy – Lifecycle to own and optimise the full customer journey. In this role, you’ll turn data into insights and insights into measurable growth — improving conversion, activation, and retention across the funnel. You’ll lead a growing team, partner cross-functionally, and evolve lifecycle from execution into a strategic growth lever.

Responsibilities

• Set and execute lifecycle strategy - Define and execute campaigns that drive conversion, activation and retention across the customer journey

• Optimise performance with data - Build a rigorous test-and-learn approach, using quantitative analysis to uncover root causes of performance shifts and continuously improve outcomes

• Lead and develop a team - Guide a growing lifecycle team, setting priorities, sharpening their analytical toolkit, and raising the bar for execution quality

• Drive cross-functional impact - Partner with Product, Data Science and Marketing Operations to ensure lifecycle campaigns are tightly integrated into the broader growth engine

• Make lifecycle a strategic growth lever across the funnel - Champion lifecycle marketing as a growth lever and help evolve the team’s scope from execution to optimisation, insights, and strategic influence across the funnel

What you will bring:

• Strategic problem solving - Experience in management consulting, growth strategy, or an equivalent analytical role where you tackled complex, ambiguous problems

• Analytical toolkit: Strong data analysis and diagnostic skills; ability to work with SQL or partner effectively with data teams to derive insights

• Marketing / Growth exposure: Hands-on experience in lifecycle/CRM marketing, customer engagement, or growth roles preferred, but a sharp consulting-style toolkit with a willingness to dive into execution is equally valued

• Leadership: Experience leading projects or teams, with the ability to coach others and raise performance standards

• Communication: Structured, persuasive communicator comfortable influencing senior stakeholders

• Bias to action: Entrepreneurial mindset with a track record of delivering results in fast-paced, dynamic environments

At Airwallex you’ll have the ability to make an impact in a rapidly growing, global fintech. We want you to share in our success, which is why you’ll be offered a competitive salary plus valuable equity within Airwallex. We also like to ensure we create the best environment for our people by providing a collaborative open office space with a fully stocked kitchen. We organize regular team building events and we give our people the freedom to be creative.
