About the team

Information Security drives risk, compliance, and security governance globally at Airwallex. The GRC function acts as the bridge between regulators, customers, partners, and the business — designing policies and controls that meet regional and global standards while challenging traditional industry norms. We partner across the enterprise, from Legal to Engineering to regional business entities, to build a security posture that scales as we grow globally.

What you'll do

As an INFOSEC Governance, Risk and Compliance Regional Specialist, you'll act as the regional anchor for Mexico City, while integrating closely with the global Information Security team. Reporting to the Senior GRC Manager, you'll be named a regional point of contact for government and regulatory bodies in Mexico, and you'll help design and implement policies that balance regional requirements with global standards. This role suits someone with an IT engineering or technology-focused legal background who has moved into information security compliance and retains hands-on security skills — someone who sees compliance as a challenge to iterate on, not a box to check.
