* 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.
