Senior Product Compliance Manager

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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.

Requirements

You Will:

• Advise on product launches, monitor and manage change, and oversee issue management.

Qualifications

• 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.

Skills

• Preferred: JD or equivalent; experience with US money transmission licensing or BaaS/sponsor bank models; CRCM or CAMS certification.
