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:

We are looking for a sharp, data-driven Regulatory Reporting Analyst to join Remitly's Finance team in Dubai. This is a hands-on execution role at the intersection of data, compliance, and financial operations.

You will own the data layer that keeps Remitly's regulatory reporting accurate, timely, and audit-ready across Middle East and APAC jurisdictions. This is not a traditional finance role — it is built for someone who is equally comfortable writing a SQL query, building a reconciliation framework automation, and coordinating with an Engineering team to resolve an upstream data issue.

You will work closely with a senior finance leader who owns regulatory strategy and stakeholder relationships. Your job is to make sure the numbers behind every submission are right — extracted correctly, reconciled fully, and delivered on time, every time.
 

You Will:Regulatory Reporting
  • Prepare timely and accurate regulatory reports for multiple jurisdictions including UAE, KSA and Bahrain.

  • Interpret and apply regulatory rulebooks to ensure reporting structures and disclosures are compliant and defensible.

  • Maintain strict oversight of regulatory reporting calendars and compliance trackers, ensuring zero slippage on recurring deliverables.

  • Own daily and weekly client fund safeguarding procedures, including reconciliations, reporting packages, and audit documentation.

  • Coordinate statutory audit and client money AUP deliverables in partnership with accounting, compliance, and external auditors.
     

Systems, Process & Licensing Support
  • Work with Engineering and Product teams to define data requirements, validate system outputs, and ensure financial data flows align with regulatory reporting needs

  • Support new licensing processes — contributing to financial roadmap inputs, regulatory reporting system design coordination, and policy and process documentation.

  • Identify gaps in existing reporting infrastructure and propose structured, scalable solutions

  • Help standardise and document financial reporting processes to support business continuity and regulatory scale

You Have:

✅Required:

  • 3+ years working with large, complex datasets in a fintech, payments, or licensed financial services environment — data extraction, validation, and reconciliation is your daily practice

  • SQL, Advanced Excel or Google Sheets proficiency — reconciliations, structured reporting, pivot analysis, and data validation as everyday work

  • Power BI or equivalent BI tool experience — you build reports and dashboards, not just consume them.

  • Comfortable leveraging AI tools to accelerate analytical workflows and automate repetitive reporting tasks

  • Experience working within a licensed fintech, payments company, e-money institution, or regulated financial services firm — you understand how data and compliance intersect in a live regulatory environment

  • Exposure to regulatory reporting processes, client fund reconciliations, or safeguarding frameworks in a fintech or payments context

  • Builder's mindset — when a process or framework is missing, you create it rather than wait

  • High accuracy discipline — you take personal ownership of the correctness of your outputs before they reach anyone for review

  • Strong cross-functional collaborator — comfortable working directly with Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and Product teams

Plus

  • Direct experience with regulatory environments submissions in GCC countries.

  • Exposure to new entity licensing processes or financial system implementation projects

  • Background in payments infrastructure, MSB or EMI licensing environments

Our Benefits:

  • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance

  • Life Insurance & Income Protection

  • Housing Allowance

  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

  • Commuter Reimbursement

  • Mental Health & Family Forming benefits

  • Learning & development benefits
