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.

Requirements

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.
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).
Proven ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, actionable guidance for product managers and engineers.
Comfort navigating regulatory ambiguity and synthesizing multi-jurisdictional requirements across licensing, consumer protection, AML/sanctions, and privacy — simultaneously.
Strong ability to prioritize across a fast-moving product roadmap without dropping threads.

Responsibilities

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.

Track regulatory developments across applicable jurisdictions, brief product teams, and drive roadmap adjustments as needed.
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.
Develop policies, playbooks, and decision-escalation protocols for CFS products; lead relevant compliance committees and deliver training to product, engineering, and marketing teams.
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.
