What the job involves
- This is a unique opportunity for a builder. As Remitly enters its next phase of growth, you will help design the next version of our organization - a more AI-enabled, global, and multi-product company. You'll partner closely with business leaders to create the conditions for teams to move faster, scale effectively, and win in increasingly competitive markets
- Success in this role requires strong business acumen, sound judgment, and a bias for action. You'll bring a forward-looking perspective, challenge the status quo, and help translate business strategy into organizational outcomes that enable long-term growth.

- You will serve as a trusted advisor to leaders, helping them navigate organizational design, workforce planning, talent management, performance, and employee relations. This role combines strategic partnership with hands-on execution and requires strong business acumen, sound judgment, and a data-driven approach to decision making
- Partner with leaders to translate business priorities into people strategies that improve organizational performance, engagement, and retention
- Analyze people data to identify trends and recommend improvements in organizational design, workforce planning, and talent management
- Build trusted relationships with leaders and provide coaching, feedback, and guidance on team effectiveness, leadership organizational change, and talent decisions
- Craft evidence-based cases for people investments that connect people decisions to business outcomes, including headcount, learning and development, and compensation adjustments
- Lead talent management initiatives within your assigned business group, including talent reviews, succession planning, performance management, and employee development
- Support compensation and performance processes, helping leaders make informed and equitable talent decisions
- Help leaders build high-performing, inclusive teams and foster an environment where employees can do their best work
- Advise leaders on employee relations matters, performance concerns, workplace investigations, and policy interpretation
- Proactively identify organizational trends and address issues by implementing solutions before they impact performance, engagement, or culture
- Partner with Legal and People team stakeholders to ensure consistent and compliant people practices
- Partner with Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Learning & Development, and other People teams to deliver integrated solutions that support business goals
- Support Remitly's commitment to belonging by helping leaders attract, develop, and retain diverse talent
- Mentor and guide less experienced People team members, contributing to the growth and effectiveness of the broader team
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.
That said, 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 introduction of Passbook, an app that allows customers to access digital banking through a partner bank.
