Requirements

Responsibilities

Own and maintain a complete, current, and auditable Regulatory Inventory across all Remitly entities and jurisdictions; ensure every applicable obligation is identified, classified under Remitly’s compliance program pillars, and traceable to one or more active controls.
Lead the regulatory change program: own the full lifecycle from intake through impact assessment, prioritization, implementation planning, and validated closure; ensure accountability is clear at every handoff across Horizon Scanning, Legal, RegTech, and Regional Compliance.
Drive control mapping and rationalization: maintain obligation-to-control mappings, eliminate redundancy, enforce evidence standards, and ensure gaps have documented remediation plans with named owners and due dates.
Own the configuration and operational design of the program’s technology stack; evaluate and adopt tools — including AI-enabled approaches — that can close program gaps or scale capacity.
Manage and develop a small team of direct reports; build program management capability around regulatory governance across the broader compliance function.
Operate a monthly cross-functional cadence across Regional Compliance Officers, Legal, RegTech, and Policy & Regulatory Affairs to review the regulatory register, confirm ownership, and escalate gaps.
Deliver reporting on regulatory inventory completeness, control coverage, and change management status to the CCO and, where applicable, to the Audit and Risk Committee.
