Senior Program Manager, Technical – Fraud Operations

Burnaby, BC, Canada

Category: Program Management
Job ID: R_106322
Job Type: Regular

Job Description:

At Remitly, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to access, move, and manage their money wherever life takes them. Since 2011, we’ve tirelessly delivered on our promise to customers sending money globally, providing secure, simple, and reliable ways to manage their money, ensuring true peace of mind. Whether it’s supporting loved ones back home, growing a business across continents, or pursuing new opportunities abroad, we’re not just here to move money— we’re here to move our global customers forward.
We’re looking for builders, reimaginers, and global thinkers who want to work at the intersection of technology, trust, and transformation. If that’s you and you’re ready to do the most meaningful work of your career—we invite you to join over 2,800 passionate Remitlians worldwide who are united by our vision to transform lives with trusted financial services that transcend borders.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Program Manager, Technical to join our Fraud Program team within the Identity & Trust organization. In this role, you will independently own and drive complex, multi-workstream programs that reduce fraud-related losses and improve our ability to prevent and detect malicious activity across Remitly's products and platforms. You will bring a strong technical foundation to your program work — engaging deeply with engineering and analytics partners to evaluate system behavior, inform solution design, and translate fraud risk into scalable controls and product improvements.

You will report to the Senior Manager, Fraud Program and Analytics and work closely with stakeholders across product, engineering, analytics, compliance, and operations. This is a hybrid role based out of our Burnaby, BC office. This role is not eligible for fully remote work.

You Will:

Own and drive complex, cross-functional fraud programs end-to-end — from problem framing and solution design through implementation, measurement, and iteration.
Translate fraud trends and risk signals into technical and product requirements, partnering with engineering and analytics to close systemic gaps and deliver scalable controls.
Lead fraud risk assessments for new products and geographic expansions, independently driving business requirements from discovery through delivery and ongoing maintenance.
Own investigations and root cause analysis for fraud incidents, identifying systemic weaknesses and driving durable improvements across systems and processes.
Lead incident response and mitigation for emerging fraud threats, coordinating across stakeholders and providing clear communication to leadership throughout.
Define, track, and report on program goals, risks, and success metrics — proactively surfacing issues and driving alignment across cross-functional teams and leadership.
Leverage AI tools and agentic workflows to increase program velocity, automate manual processes, and scale your impact across the team.

You Have:

7+ years of experience in program management, with a strong focus on fraud, trust & safety, risk, or a related technical domain.
Demonstrated ability to independently own complex, multi-stakeholder programs in a high-ambiguity environment.
Strong technical fluency — able to engage with engineers and analysts on system behavior, data pipelines, rule engines, and product architecture; capable of evaluating technical tradeoffs and contributing to solution design.
Working SQL skills; comfort querying and interpreting fraud and operational data to inform program decisions.
Experience building fraud controls from the ground up across new or evolving products.
Familiarity with fraud detection systems, rule engines, and machine learning models.
Experience applying AI tools to meaningfully scale your work — ideally including designing or contributing to AI-assisted workflows, not just tool usage.
Experience in payments, fintech, remittances, or money movement strongly preferred.
Bachelor's degree; financial crimes certifications (CFE, CFCS, etc.) are a plus.
Willingness to provide support during non-business hours during acute fraud events; this role is exempt from overtime pay.

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.”
