ABOUT THE ROLE

Reports to: Associate Director, Global Employer Branding

Scope: Global, with a primary focus on APAC and strategic support for priority hubs like London and San Francisco.

Join Airwallex and shape how high-caliber talent sees us, understands us, and ultimately chooses us.

This is not a generic brand awareness role. It is a sharp, high-impact mission focused on four critical outcomes: attracting highly qualified candidates, building technical credibility with senior talent, strengthening employee advocacy, and controlling the narrative candidates see before they ever meet a recruiter.

If you crave real ownership, the ability to influence multiple markets, and the chance to build something iconic at a global scale, this role delivers exactly that. You will own the APAC employer brand, partner closely on crucial engineering and commercial hiring priorities, and launch high-trust programs across key markets. This includes driving curated recruiting dinners, a channel we trust to win top-tier talent over broad top-of-funnel events.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Drive Strategy: Own the APAC employer brand playbook. Build narratives that help the right people opt in and less-qualified candidates self-select out.

- Craft the Narrative: Create and localize high-trust content across career pages, blogs, recruiter assets, and targeted social channels. Give senior engineers real proof of how we work and why it matters.

- Empower Recruiting: Partner with Talent Acquisition to sharpen pitch packs, job descriptions, and pre-qualification language. Build a stronger funnel, not just a bigger one.

- Lead Advocacy & Reputation: Equip employees with practical toolkits for authentic storytelling. Own APAC review responses and candidate-facing talking points that address what people actually care about.

- Own the Digital Footprint: Maintain critical surfaces like Built In and location pages to control our narrative in AI searches and candidate research journeys.

- Curate Key Moments: Plan and execute a select number of high-quality recruiting events, including VIP talent dinners.

- Measure & Iterate: Use data to track impact, guide decisions, and focus your energy on what actually converts.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Our APAC employer brand feels credible, specific, and highly useful to our target candidates.

- Employee advocacy feels authentic and far removed from generic corporate posting.

- Recruiter materials are tight and screen for fit early.

- Priority engineering and commercial stories are live and driving real hiring conversations.

- Our digital presence is strong and implicitly trusted by top talent.

- Strategic in-person moments yield warmer pipelines and elite candidate engagement.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

- 8+ years of experience in employer branding, recruitment marketing, brand strategy, or a closely related field.

- Exceptional storytelling skills. You make complex concepts feel clear, human, and compelling.

- Proven experience targeting senior, hard-to-convince tech or fintech talent.

- A track record of turning business priorities into focused programs with measurable outcomes.

- Confidence partnering with cross-functional
