About The Position

Remitly is building the wallet and card infrastructure needed to scale globally, and we're looking for a Head of Global Expansion to own this effort end-to-end. In this role, you will be accountable for the business outcomes of Remitly's global expansion, shaping the infrastructure build-out — including the integration between Mambu, Checkout.com (CKO), and Remitly's platform — and managing the roadmap that takes it to market. You'll architect the money movement rails that let customers get money in and out of their account, lead the CRM integration, and build out the fraud and compliance infrastructure required to responsibly launch in new markets. This is an opportunity to own the technical, product, and business foundation of a rapidly scaling global product, partnering closely with engineering to build infrastructure designed to last. You will work in a hybrid capacity from our Arlington, VA office.

Deep understanding of fraud and compliance requirements for card and wallet products, including KYC/AML frameworks for global rollout.
Strong technical fluency, comfortable partnering closely with engineering on system design and architecture trade-offs.
Experience owning a roadmap and business outcomes across multiple markets or geographies, with a focus on scalability and compliance.
Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to define success metrics for infrastructure and expansion investments.
End-to-end ownership skills, with demonstrated ability to operate with autonomy on ambiguous, cross-functional, and highly technical problems.
10+ years of experience in product management, general management, or a related leadership role, specifically in payments, card, or banking infrastructure.
