What you’ll do

We're looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to support hiring across our commercial and GTM functions in the Americas — with a heavy focus on Sales. You'll work closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and Sales leadership to help build out our revenue-generating teams, from SDRs and AEs to Sales Managers.

This is a hands-on, high-volume role for someone who is hungry to grow, knows how to source and engage great sales talent, and takes pride in running a tight, organized process. You bring energy and attention to detail to every search, and you're building the instincts to become a true talent advisor over time.

This hybrid role is based in San Francisco or New York.

Responsibilities:
  • Execute full-cycle recruiting for Sales and GTM roles under the guidance of senior recruiters and TA leadership

  • Build and manage sourcing pipelines for quota-carrying roles using LinkedIn Recruiter, Ashby, and other tools

  • Conduct initial candidate screens and deliver clear, structured assessments to hiring managers

  • Support offer preparation and candidate communication through the close process

  • Maintain clean, accurate data in the ATS and contribute to pipeline reporting for stakeholders

  • Develop working knowledge of the fintech and payments talent landscape, including key competitors and candidate profiles

  • Contribute to process improvements and share learnings with the broader TA team

Who you are

We’re looking for people who meet the minimum qualifications for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory.

Minimum qualifications:
  • 3+ years of full-cycle or high-volume recruiting experience, ideally with exposure to Sales or GTM hiring

  • Solid sourcing skills with hands-on experience engaging passive candidates

  • Organized and detail-oriented, with strong ATS hygiene and process discipline

  • Clear communicator who can represent Airwallex well with candidates and hiring managers alike

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and managing multiple open reqs simultaneously

  • Coachable and growth-oriented, with a genuine interest in building expertise in commercial hiring

Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience hiring for fintech, payments, or B2B SaaS sales roles

  • Experience with Ashby.
