Today, we are reimagining international payments at scale and building new products to create deeper relationships with our

About the role:
As a Global Compliance Assurance Leader on Remitly’s Global Compliance Internal Testing (GCIT) team, you will lead key compliance assurance initiatives across one or more regulatory domains, applying deep subject matter expertise to strengthen how Remitly tests and validates its compliance controls globally.

This role requires strong leadership and cross-functional influence, including direct people leadership.

Evaluate complex, non-standardized processes and control environments to deliver forward-looking assurance insights
•
Contribute to the evolution of GCIT’s testing framework and methodology through practical input and application of best practices
•
Build and maintain cross-functional partnerships with stakeholders; align testing scope and findings to broader risk, audit, and compliance priorities
•
Represent GCIT in select regulatory engagements and internal audit interactions
•
Support adoption of scalable assurance practices within your area of ownership
