Principal Product Manager

Arlington, VA, United States of America

Category: Product
Job ID: R_106923
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.

Nice to Have:

SNPL Card's growth today comes almost entirely through owned channels, and the person who unlocks it needs to think and build like a product manager. The mandate is broader than converting our existing base: as we start exploring net-new customer acquisition strategies alongside conversion of existing Remitly customers, this role owns the full front door of SNPL Card — who we bring in, how we introduce them to the product, and how we get them successfully onboarded. As we look into net-new customers, this role will also need to develop and own channel strategy and the unit economics behind it, not just the in-product experience. You'll also work on post-onboarding experience, so the handoff from onboarding into ongoing engagement, retention, and repayment is seamless rather than siloed.
This is a critical product management role on a small, high-ownership team: parts of this business are 0 to 1 and parts are 10 to 100, and you'll need to be comfortable in both — running discovery and defining strategy, writing the specs, working with engineering and design through build and launch, and owning the metrics that tell you whether it's working.

You Will:

Own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for bringing customers — existing Remitly customers and, as we expand, net-new customers — into SNPL Card, from awareness through onboarding and into early activation.
Run discovery and define requirements — talk to customers directly, synthesize qualitative and quantitative research, and translate findings into clear specs that engineering and design can build against.
Own the full product lifecycle for your surfaces — problem definition, design collaboration, development, QA, launch, and post-launch iteration.
Decide who to bring in and how — building segmentation and targeting models across existing customers and, over time, net-new acquisition channels — and prioritizing where the team invests.
Develop and own channel strategy and unit economics as we expand into net-new acquisition — deciding which channels to test, how to measure them, and what the underlying unit economics need to look like to justify the spend.
Design and ship the in-product moments that introduce SNPL Card — content cards, banners, modals, push/SMS/email nudges, and contextual placements — partnering directly with Design and Engineering to spec and ship them.
Write the copy and positioning customers see, and know when to bring in a copywriter or brand partner as this scales.
Partner with the incoming Principal PM for Borrow on the post-onboarding experience — ensuring what you build for onboarding sets customers up for engagement, retention, and repayment, and that the two roadmaps stay connected rather than siloed.
Run the experimentation engine — define hypotheses, design tests, read results honestly, and let data decide what ships next.
Define success metrics and instrumentation from day one — conversion, activation, CAC, unit economics, and cohort quality — and build the analytics to track them.
Work in an AI-first way — using AI to accelerate research, spec writing, segmentation, and content production.
Operate across functions — Product, Design, Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, Credit, Risk, Compliance, and Legal — to ship in a regulated lending environment without losing speed.
Communicate roadmap, trade-offs, and results clearly to cross-functional partners and leadership.

You Have:

6+ years of experience in Product Management, Growth PM, or Product Marketing in a data-driven consumer (B2C) environment, with demonstrated ownership of a roadmap or specs from discovery through launch.
Experience running product discovery — user research, requirements definition, and writing specs/PRDs that engineering and design can execute against.
Experience driving adoption or conversion through in-product experiences — onboarding flows, lifecycle messaging, content cards, or similar.
Comfort owning segmentation and targeting logic, ideally across both an existing customer base and net-new acquisition channels.
Strong analytical skills — comfortable defining and reading funnel metrics and unit economics, running experiments, and using data over opinion.
Excellent writing skills — in-product copy that's clear and compelling without sounding like an ad.
Working knowledge of UI/UX and mobile in-app experience, and the ability to work as a true peer to Design and Engineering across the full build cycle, not just at the requirements stage.
A scrappy, resourceful operating style — comfortable in both 0-to-1 and 10-to-100 environments, and used to wearing multiple hats on a small team.
Fluency with AI-first tools and workflows, with an instinct to reach for them first.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to align cross-functional and senior stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

Experience in fintech, lending, credit, or payments.
Experience owning both acquisition and onboarding/activation for a consumer product, not just one side of the funnel.
Experience working in a regulated financial services environment alongside Risk, Compliance, and Legal.
Experience at a high-growth startup or a consumer technology company known for customer centricity and speed.

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

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.”
