Oversee ongoing views about competition, market, and customer trends, translating regional strategies into specific market goals across multiple functions.
Develop long-term strategies and influence leadership decisions.

Product Strategy & Roadmap Influence

Serve as the primary regional advocate into the regional and global product organisation, owning the translation of customer and market insights into clear, prioritised product requirements.
Partner closely with product managers to define and maintain a regional product roadmap that addresses local customer needs, competitive gaps, and regulatory considerations.
Drive discovery and definition of new product features by leading structured customer research, usability studies, and qualitative interviews specific to the region.
Write and review product briefs and opportunity assessments for regionally-driven initiatives, ensuring they are grounded in customer evidence and quantified business impact.
Influence product prioritisation by building compelling business cases using customer-centric and impact-driven frameworks, aligning product leadership on regional bets.
Define success metrics and acceptance criteria for product initiatives in the region, working with product and engineering to ensure outcomes are measurable and tracked.
Evaluate and provide structured feedback on product solutions during discovery and build phases, representing the regional customer perspective in design reviews and sprint demos.
Identify and escalate friction points, localisation gaps, and experience deficiencies in the regional customer journey, partnering with product and design to resolve them.
Stay ahead of competitor product developments, regulatory changes, and emerging customer expectations in the region, proactively surfacing implications for the product roadmap.

Customer Insights & Analytics

Drive customer learnings and hypotheses generation to iterate faster towards the right customer and business outcomes.
Through collaboration with analytics teams across pricing, product and marketing, create customer behaviour and market analyses to obtain insights and develop executional plans.
Define and manage a continuous feedback loop from regional customers, turning qualitative signals into quantifiable product and operational improvements.

You Have:

5+ years of experience in Fintech, consumer technology, strategy consulting or e-commerce industry sectors.
Experience working in a global matrix organisation and in fast-growth international environments.
Demonstrable experience working in or alongside product management teams, with the ability to write product requirements, contribute to roadmap planning, and operate fluently in agile delivery environments.

What our Remitlians say

Evelyne Kuo

Program Manager - Technical

On the Security & Privacy team, I reimagine what’s possible by going beyond traditional compliance to create a culture where security is part of everyone’s day-to-day — through programs like our champion network, engaging training sessions, and company-wide awareness events that make security approachable and empowering.”

What our Remitlians say

Amara Agbo

Software Development Engineer II

To me, reimagining what’s possible means constantly learning new technologies and applying cutting-edge solutions to build localized systems that scale across currencies, countries, and regulations. The challenges we solve at Remitly don’t just strengthen our platform — they expand financial access for millions of people worldwide. That’s what makes the work both exciting and impactful.”

What our Remitlians say

Rosa Castellon Herrera

Senior Team Manager - QA

Stand for excellence means to me always raising the bar, pushing through discomfort, to deliver our best to our teams and customers every time. We come together as a team to share ideas to develop a rubric that helps us deliver impactful results.”

Stephanie Cameron

Senior Product Manager

On the product team at Remitly, I’m trusted to make decisions that drive real impact—not just for my team, but for the business and our customers. I’m encouraged to take ownership of problems even when they’re outside my immediate scope, to speak up, and to bring the right people together to solve them. Lately, that’s meant working on real-time FX and funding tools that support our treasury team in lowering transaction costs—so we can pass those savings on to our customers. That trust and cross-team collaboration make it easy to stay focused on what really matters in the long run.”

What our Remitlians say

Nadav Yekutiel

Senior Manager - Analytics

At Remitly, diving deep has meant pushing past easy answers to truly understand what our customers need. I’ve seen our analytics teams uncover insights that weren’t obvious at first glance — like identifying hidden friction points in the customer journey that, once solved, improved both experience and trust. This commitment to going beyond the surface makes our recommendations stronger, and it’s a big part of how we deliver meaningful impact across the business.”
