Regulatory Operations Program Manager

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.

As the Senior Program Manager, Regulatory Operations & Readiness, you will serve as the connective tissue between Compliance, Legal, Global Ops, and Customer Success — ensuring that regulatory changes are translated into operational reality on time and with documented controls. You will own the Compliance Readiness Framework for new launches and regulatory updates, manage ERM/REAF issue tracking, and ensure that every new country entry or product launch is supported by a complete Consumer Protection and Privacy playbook.

This is a senior individual contributor role (L3) requiring the ability to work autonomously across complex, multi-stakeholder regulatory programs.

• Operationalize global Consumer Protection and Privacy policies across Global Customer Support to ensure we are always compliant with handling and monitoring requirements.

• Develop Consumer Protection and Privacy playbooks for all new country entries and multi-product launches, in partnership with Legal, Compliance, and Global CS Operations.

• Own ERM and REAF issue management for Customer Success: track open findings, manage remediation timelines, and report on status to leadership

• Lead projects to resolve findings highlighted by the first, second, or third line teams; support internal and external audits concerning Consumer Trust programs

• Use qualitative and quantitative data to identify compliance or privacy gaps and lead projects to reduce friction for both internal and external users.

• Partner with Global Regulatory Change teams, Privacy, and Compliance Officers to ensure CS operational requirements are surfaced and addressed in regulatory planning cycles.

• Maintain all policies, SOPs, procedure documentation, and Help Articles related to Consumer Trust programs. 

• Report on global and regional regulatory trends and their operational implications to CS leadership and Compliance stakeholders. 

You Have:

• 5+ years of experience in a regulated environment related to financial services, money transfers, or compliance operations

• Understanding of consumer protection laws and global governing regulations related to money transfers and financial services.

• Demonstrated experience managing regulatory change programs: translating new or updated requirements into SOPs, controls, and operational processes

• 2+ years of experience working with both qualitative and quantitative data to make decisions and develop hypotheses

• You’re comfortable influencing others, being part of cross-functional teams, managing stakeholders, and communicating project progress.

• Proficiency with AI co-working tools (Claude, ChatGPT, NotebookLM) for regulatory research, document drafting, and gap analysis

• Strong analytical and systems thinking, you can map a regulatory requirement to every operational touchpoint it affects and identify gaps before they surface in an exam.

• Strong alignment to our mission and values
