Role
Who you are
- Experience: 5+ years of Program Management experience in a high-growth technology environment
- Domain Expertise: Proven track record in delivering programs related to global regulations & drafting of audit controls (e.g., AML, KYC, reporting requirements across NAM, EMEA, or LATAM)
- Execution Excellence: Expert-level mastery of program management methodologies and tools like Jira, Confluence or Monday
- Mindset: You thrive in ambiguity and are comfortable making decisions that balance speed-to-market and risk management
What the job involves
- As a Senior Program Manager in the Regulatory Tech domain, you will lead high-stakes programs that enable Remitly to enter new markets and launch new financial products while maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance.
- This is a strategic execution role where you will bridge the gap between complex legal/regulatory mandates and scalable solutions leveraging technology
- You’ll report to the Head of Regulatory Tech, and will play a pivotal role collaborating closely with Engineering, Product, Legal, and Compliance stakeholders across North America, Europe, LATAM and APAC. You will work hybrid from our Vancouver office in this role
- Program Leadership: Own the end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional programs within the RegTech domain, including maturing and scaling regulatory tech audit such as NY 500, licensing expansion, and regulatory change
- Regulatory Roadmap: Partner with the Head of Regulatory Tech and internal teams to implement global regulations leveraging technology for scalability and velocity for our products while ensuring compliance with global regulatory expectations
- Stakeholder Orchestration: Drive alignment across distributed teams in Seattle, Vancouver, London, and other strategic geolocation. Influence priorities and resource allocation without direct authority
- Risk & Dependency Management: Proactively identify program, delivery, and cross-functional risks and dependencies, establishing mechanisms to ensure early issue identification, clear ownership of mitigation and implementation, and on-track delivery of project commitments
- Data-Driven Execution: Define and track program health metrics. Use data to identify bottlenecks in project workflows and drive continuous process improvements
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.
