Associate Director, FCC & MLRO, Americas

As the Associate Director of Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) for the Americas, you will act as the lead for one of our fastest-growing regions, currently comprised of the US, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico. You will be responsible for managing the Americas FCC team, ensuring our program is robust, scalable, and compliant with diverse local regulations while aligning with Airwallex’s global standards. This is a dual-focus role: you will enhance and operationalize our program in existing markets while providing critical support as we launch into new jurisdictions and roll out new products. Beyond regional leadership, you will serve as a key member of the global FCC leadership team, helping to drive forward strategic global initiatives such as the Enterprise Wide Risk Assessment (EWRA), defining strategic OKRs, and strengthening the global compliance framework.
