  • Collaborate with broader Operations Leadership with broader market launch plans.
  • Ensure agent network readiness, including Agent onboarding, KYC etc.
  • Build scalable SOPs and compliance checklists that repeat across corridors.
  • Monitor cross-border and crypto-enabled remittance trends and evaluate fit.


What You Bring to the Table

  • 8+ years in remittance, cross-border payments, or fintech ops, ideally in emerging or frontier markets.
  • Working knowledge of cross-border regulatory frameworks - MTL, correspondent banking, AML/CTF, sanctions screening.

  • Experience negotiating and managing vendor/partner relationships (payment rails, banks, MTOs) directly.
  • Strong analytical rigor able to read corridor and transaction data and turn it into action.
  • Cross-functional experience with Product, Compliance, and local market leadership.
  • Crypto/stablecoin rail knowledge is a plus.
