Regulatory Counsel, Americas
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should only include sections that have real specific content. We should not repeat job title. We should not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to drop Applicant Safety Policy, Equal opportunity, maybe also "Attributes We Value"? That's not a standard heading but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "Attributes We Value" is like company values; maybe we can include as a section? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings where appropriate. We can also use other headings if needed? Probably better to stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: could be a summary of the role: "What You'll Do" plus maybe "About The Team". Could combine.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skills beyond qualifications.
- Benefits: not mentioned.
- Pay: Compensation Range: $150K - $220K.
- Schedule: hybrid role based in San Francisco or New York (maybe schedule? Actually schedule not given; location is given. Could treat as Schedule? Not exactly. The instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It doesn't state schedule (like full-time, part-time). It says hybrid role based in San Francisco or New York. That's location, not schedule. So we should not create Schedule section.
- Benefits: not stated.
Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Pay.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details from each section.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use
.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: Applicant Safety Policy, Equal opportunity, maybe also "Attributes We Value"? That's not boilerplate but could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to include as part of About the role? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could incorporate "Attributes We Value" into About the role as prose.
Similarly "About The Team" could be part of About the role.
Thus About the role section will contain prose summarizing: About Airwallex, Attributes We Value, About The Team, What You'll Do.
We need to preserve all substantive information: we must not lose details. So we need to include the specifics from those sections.
Let's extract:
About Airwallex: description of company, unified payments platform, 250k businesses, etc.
Attributes We Value: list of traits.
About The Team: description of LRC team.
What You'll Do: description of primary responsibilities (support regulatory matters across Americas, advising on regulatory issues, licensing, etc.) This overlaps with Responsibilities list later.
We need to avoid duplication. The Responsibilities list later is more detailed bullet points. So we can keep the prose overview in About the role, and then Responsibilities as bullet list.
Thus About the role will include the company description, attributes, team description, and maybe a brief overview of what you'll do (but not duplicate the bullet list). We'll keep the prose from "What You'll Do" that is not bullet list: "You will be primarily responsible for supporting regulatory matters across the Americas region. This role will focus on advising on regulatory issues relating to payments and financial services, including licensing, money transmission and related requirements, and cross-border product offerings. You will support licensing, registration and ongoing compliance obligations in relevant Americas markets by helping to assess requirements, develop practical guidance, and partner closely with Regulatory Compliance and other control functions. As a Regulatory Counsel, you will provide practical legal advice to business and control-function stakeholders in the Americas. With support and mentorship from senior members of the team, you will own defined regulatory workstreams, contribute to licensing and product initiatives, and build deeper expertise in US payments regulation, money-transmitter licensing and the regulatory treatment of different payment flows. This role is well suited to someone who has strong regulatory fundamentals and wants to grow within a fast-moving fintech environment. You will work on meaningful matters across the US, with opportunities to support regulatory projects in Canada, Mexico and Brazil. The ideal candidate is curious, detail-oriented, collaborative and comfortable translating complex legal requirements into clear, actionable guidance. This hybrid role is based in San Francisco or New York."
We can keep that as prose.
Now Responsibilities bullet list: we have a list of bullet points after "Responsibilities". Let's extract them exactly:
- Support regulatory legal matters relating to Airwallex’s business across the Americas, including advice on existing licenses and registrations and potential future applications.
- Research and summarize developments in payments and financial services regulation, identifying potential impacts on business operations and strategic objectives.
- Partner with Product Legal, Regulatory Compliance, Risk and Financial Crime Compliance teams on regulatory questions involving money transmission, stored value, FX, remittance, card issuing and related financial-services products.
- Support Product, Strategy, Management and Commercial teams on new market entry, license expansion and regulatory mapping for new products and features.
- Analyze how funds move through different payment structures and help identify the applicable licensing and regulatory requirements, escalating complex issues when appropriate.
- Provide clear, practical legal guidance and risk assessments to cross-functional stakeholders, with appropriate support from senior counsel and external advisers.
- Support the management of external legal counsel and consultants, including preparing instructions, reviewing advice and tracking deliverables and costs.
- Assist with regulatory filings, submissions and responses in relevant Americas jurisdictions in partnership with Regulatory Compliance and senior legal counsel.
- Monitor regulatory developments and help translate changes into practical guidance, procedures and implementation requirements.
- Leverage AI and other tooling to improve the scale, efficiency and effectiveness of the Regulatory Legal team.
- Contribute to government-relations and policy work, including research and preparation for outreach to legislators and regulatory agencies.
