Aboutthe Role
We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager to join our Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) team and own how Remitly wins across the region (Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman). As a Principal Product Manager, you’ll own the GCC growth charter end to end: setting the vision, strategy, and roadmap, securing buy in from regional and global leadership, and being accountable for company level OKRs.
You’ll lead as much through influence as through direct ownership, raising the bar on product craft and helping the team thoughtfully incorporate AI into how we work, learn, and build. You’ll report to the General Manager and partner closely with regional business leaders, Compliance and Risk, and global Product, Engineering, Design, and Analytics teams.
- Own the GCC growth strategy and roadmap. Develop a deep understanding of Gulf customers, market dynamics, competitive trends, and regulatory developments to define a high impact roadmap. You will be accountable for driving acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue outcomes across the region.
- Act as the regional product leader. Partner closely with business, compliance, risk, engineering, design, analytics, and operations leaders to identify growth opportunities, align priorities, and ensure successful execution. Influence decisions well beyond your direct area of ownership.
- Build deep customer and market expertise. Develop genuine empathy for migrant and expatriate senders, understanding their needs for trust, speed, transparency, affordability, and payout reliability. Use customer insights to identify opportunities and remove friction across the customer journey.

- Run a high velocity experimentation engine. Partner with engineering, analytics, and design to build, test, and iterate quickly. Design rigorous experiments, evaluate outcomes, and scale successful acquisition, activation, retention, and referral strategies.
- Navigate fintech complexity with confidence. Deliver innovative experiences while operating within highly regulated environments. Work effectively across KYC, AML, fraud, risk, payments, FX, and regulatory requirements, partnering closely with Compliance and Risk teams to enable growth responsibly.
- Partner with engineering on critical technical decisions. Translate business and customer problems into clear technical opportunities, evaluate tradeoffs, and influence architectural decisions that impact speed, scalability, resilience, and long term flexibility.
- Collaborate with design to create intuitive and culturally relevant experiences. Ensure products resonate with a multilingual, mobile first customer base while maintaining a high bar for usability and…
