Full Job Description
About the role:

Remitly is hiring a Product Lead to own growth in our USA-South East Asia corridors (customers in the USA sending money home to markets across South East Asia). You will set the growth strategy for the region, own the product roadmap for SEA-specific experiences, and use product, pricing, and marketing levers to drive measurable results. This is a general-management-style product role, responsible for regional outcomes. You will report to our USA General Manager.

This role can be located in either our Seattle or Washington DC office, and you will be expected to work 2-3 days a week in office.

You Will:
  • Be accountable for sustainable growth in our USA-South East Asia corridors (including USA-Philippines), measured by new customers, monthly active customers, transactions, volume, revenue, and profitability
  • Develop the long-term growth strategy for the region, grounded in customer, competitive, and market insight, and translate it into clear market goals and priorities across functions
  • Own the product roadmap for South East Asia-specific features and experiences, working with engineering and design to define requirements, prioritize the backlog, and ship iteratively
  • Drive the marketing agenda for the region in partnership with our marketing teams: audience and segment priorities, campaign and channel focus, promotions, and community marketing for South East Asian diaspora audiences in the US
  • Generate and test hypotheses quickly: identify the biggest growth opportunities, run experiments across product, pricing, and marketing, and scale what works
  • Build business cases for key initiatives and influence partner teams' roadmaps (product, marketing, pricing, disbursement network) through structured, customer-centric frameworks
  • Communicate corridor performance, growth drivers, and strategic recommendations to senior leadership


You Have:
  • 8+ years of professional experience, including product leadership in a technology-driven company
  • Experience building and scaling B2C or FinTech products, ideally in money movement or financial services
  • Strong problem-solving skills, qualitative and quantitative - you can take an ambiguous problem, form high-quality hypotheses, and back your recommendations with data
  • A bias for action: scrappy enough to get things done yourself, rigorous enough to go deep on the details when it matters
  • The ability to influence across teams and with external partners - a compassionate partner who can also be constructively direct
  • Bachelor's degree; advanced degree a plus
  • Hands-on analytical skills


Preferred:
  • Deep understanding of South East Asian migrant communities in the US
  • Experience driving growth with levers beyond product - acquisition marketing, promotions, or lifecycle/CRM - and judgment about which lever fits which problem

The starting base salary range for this position is typically $176,000-$220,000. In the U.S., Remitly employees are shareholders in our Company and equity is part of our total compensation plan.
