Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of experience in program management within a technical domain, ideally within a fraud, trust & safety, or risk context
- Bachelor's degree, financial crimes related certifications (CFE, CFCS, etc.) or equivalent experience
- Strong technical fluency; ability to engage with engineers and analysts on system behavior and product architecture
- Proficient in Excel and Google Workspace
- Basic SQL experience
- Proven ability to operate in high-ambiguity environments, building fraud controls from the ground up for new/changing products, including extensive experience in rule design, model implementation, and tooling enhancements
- Prior experience in payments, fintech, remittances, or money movement is a plus
- Occasionally, you will be asked to provide your support during non-business hours when we are experiencing an acute attack. This role is exempt from overtime pay
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Program Manager to join our Fraud Program team within the Identity & Trust Organization
- You will develop and own high-impact programs that reduce fraud-related losses and mitigate systemic risks
- This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role best suited for a candidate who thrives in ambiguity, thinks systemically, and drives clarity across stakeholders without needing tight boundaries or explicit direction
- You will report to the Senior Manager of Fraud Program Management and work closely with stakeholders across product, engineering, analytics, compliance, and operations
- Independently define and lead the development of fraud prevention strategies that span products, geographies, and operational domains
- Translate fraud risk insights into strategic initiatives, working across product, engineering, and analytics to build scalable fraud controls and platform improvements
- Perform fraud risk assessments for new products and geographic expansions, driving the delivery of business requirements from discovery through implementation and maintenance
- Coordinate major incident response efforts, including root cause analysis, stakeholder alignment, and long-term solution delivery
- Coach and delegate workstreams to other team members or collaborators to ensure velocity and coverage across a growing fraud landscape
- Define and track program goals, risks, and success metrics; drive alignment across stakeholders
Our take
Since its inception in 2011 Remitly has focussed on helping immigrants to send money across the world faster, cheaper and easier. The company has grown exponentially since then and now operates across multiple continents. Remitly put down most of its success on putting its customers first.
The emergence of digital banks with low transaction fees cross-country has increased competition in a space where Remitly was dominant for many years. The company must continue to innovate its product to ensure it is the go-to place for these types of payments.
However, Remitly continues to partner with exciting companies and improve their service for loyal customers. The company is setting its sights beyond its core remittance service, such as through the recent introduction of Passbook, an app that allows customers to access digital banking through a partner bank.
