We’re looking for a hands-on and highly motivated Senior Editor to build and lead our global editorial team. You have a passion for technology (ideally fintech) and a proven track record of creating and editing high-quality content across multiple formats. You’ll be responsible for overseeing the editorial process, recruiting and managing a team of writers, and ensuring that all content meets our rigorous standards for quality and accuracy. You obsess about editorial integrity, ensuring comprehensive editorial reviews, and delivering engaging content that aligns with strategic priorities. You’ll be responsible for driving the creation of copy and content for all platforms–expect to cover a variety of areas, including thought leadership pieces, white papers, user stories, digital and OOH advertising, product videos, SEO-optimised blog posts, case studies, and more.
You’ll join the Airwallex Marketing team during a critical period. Following rapid growth, we’re building a team that enables both global consistency in process, tooling and methodology and local flexibility and speed in execution. This is a great opportunity to join that team and help shape the next phase of Airwallex’s growth.
