Senior Product Compliance Manager

Job description

Job Description: At Remitly, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to access, move, and manage their money wherever life takes them. Since 2011, we've tirelessly delivered on our promise to customers sending money globally, providing secure, simple, and reliable ways to manage their money, ensuring true peace of mind. Whether it's supporting loved ones back home, growing a business across continents, or pursuing new opportunities abroad, we're not just here to move money— we're here to move our global customers forward. We're looking for builders, reimaginers, and global thinkers who want to work at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation. If that's you and you're ready to do the most meaningful work of your career—we invite you to join over 2,800 passionate Remitlians worldwide who are united by our vision to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders. About the Role: Reporting to the Head of Product Compliance, the Senior Product Compliance Manager is a critical role responsible for building the compliance foundation for Remitly's Consumer Financial Services business. With SNPL live, no-fee debit launching in June 2026, and a roadmap running through credit, overdraft, shared accounts, and a full global banking suite by 2028, this is a build role — you'll serve as the primary compliance advisor to CFS product and engineering teams, turning regulatory requirements into competitive advantages rather than speed bumps. This role is located in Arlington VA, and will be required to work 3+ days a week from our office there. You Will: Advise on product launches: Serve as the primary compliance advisor to CFS product and engineering teams, conducting regulatory assessments of new product proposals and establishing phase gate governance frameworks to ensure compliant-by-design launches. Own the US regulatory framework: Lead product compliance across FinCEN BSA/AML, Reg E, TILA/FCBA, UDAAP, state money transmitter licensing, and emerging earned wage access laws — with an eye toward Canada (FINTRAC, RPAA) and global expansion milestones. Monitor and manage change: Track regulatory developments across applicable jurisdictions, brief product teams, and drive roadmap adjustments as needed. Manage bank and channel partners: Serve as the compliance point of contact with bank partners and PSPs, own partner due diligence RFIs, and escalate and remediate control gaps identified through partner correspondence. Build compliance infrastructure: Develop policies, playbooks, and decision-escalation protocols for CFS products; lead relevant compliance committees and deliver training to product, engineering, and marketing teams. Oversee issue management: Manage the full issue lifecycle for CFS banking products — from identification through remediation — and support the Global Testing team on product-specific compliance testing programs. You Have: Experience: 7+ years in product compliance, regulatory counsel, or compliance advisory roles in fintech or financial services, with a strong track record of enabling products in a compliant way. Regulatory depth: Hands-on experience with US banking product compliance — debit/prepaid cards, consumer credit, stored value, or payments products (Reg E, TILA/FCBA, UDAAP, BSA/AML). Cross-functional fluency: Proven ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, actionable guidance for product managers and engineers. Analytical range: Comfort navigating regulatory ambiguity and synthesizing multi-jurisdictional requirements across licensing, consumer protection, AML/sanctions, and privacy — simultaneously. Project management: Strong ability to prioritize across a fast-moving product roadmap without dropping threads. Preferred: JD or equivalent; experience with US money transmission licensing or BaaS/sponsor bank models; CRCM or CAMS certification. Compensation Details.
