About the Role:

Remitly has moved $100B+ helping families send money across borders. Now we're doing the same for small and medium-sized businesses, and that starts with winning new customers, one signup at a time. That's where you come in: you'll own the two numbers that make it happen, Paid NCAs and CAC. We need someone who has built and scaled paid media engines before, and who's at home in a high-velocity, data-driven, digital marketing ecosystem.

You won't just set the strategy and step back - you'll decide where and how we invest, plan the campaigns, and run point on the results. You'll report to the Head of Marketing as the senior marketing leader managing $XX million in paid budget, deploying campaigns across the US, Canada, UK, and EU. If you want the authority and the mandate to build paid end to end, this is it.

What matters most isn't where you've worked - it's how you operate: with the rigor and platform depth to run multiple high-stakes accounts, and the instinct to own the outcome rather than hand it off. You'll carry the number, not the client.

This is a hybrid role requiring 3+ days per week in the Remitly Seattle headquarters.

You Will:

• Own the Paid new customer acquisition (NCA) outcomes and target for Remitly Business. The paid NCA number is the business's primary acquisition metric.
• Own the budget and spend decisions impacting Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). Manage CAC efficiency across channels with full budget authority and reallocation rights.
• Own the agency relationship end to end: briefing, weekly paid marketing metrics reviews, monthly and quarterly planning, roadmap alignment, and contract accountability. Hold the agency to output standards, not effort.
• Run campaigns hands-on across Meta and Google Ads with agency support: campaign architecture, bid strategy, audience segmentation, creative testing, and optimization.
• Expand into incremental channels (LinkedIn, programmatic, affiliate, influencer-led performance) based on CAC signals, not speculation.
• Drive experimentation: brief the creative team, run structured A/B tests, and feed winning signals back into production.
• Own the adtech roadmap for Remitly Business. Work directly with engineers and PMs to scope and ship integrations. Define and maintain the measurement infrastructure: pixel implementation, conversion tracking, UTM governance, and data pipeline integrity. You are the last line of defense on attribution accuracy.
• Lead incrementality testing, match market testing, and mixed media modeling with the Analytics team. Have the judgment and experience to make high-quality investment decisions, even when attribution is imperfect.

You Have:

• 8+ years in performance or growth marketing, with at least 3 years hands-on managing Meta and Google Ads campaigns at meaningful scale.
• An acquisition target and CAC number you've directly owned, with the data to back up how you moved it at scale.
• Experience owning an ongoing agency metrics and performance review - you've set the agenda, held the agency to outcomes, and made the call when the relationship needed to change.
• Deep fluency with paid social and paid search bidding strategies: Smart Bidding, Advantage+, custom audiences, lookalikes, exclusion logic, and the tradeoffs between automation and control.
• Hands-on experience with measurement infrastructure: conversion tracking, attribution modeling, incrementality testing, and the ability to QA your own data pipeline.
• Direct adtech experience - evaluating, onboarding, and managing vendors (DSPs, CDPs, creative intelligence platforms). You know what earns a place in the stack and what doesn't.
