Head of Global Risk Mining & Strategic Investigations

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.

Remitly moves money for millions of customers across more than 170 countries. Maintaining trust at a global scale at the pace of money movement is the core mission of our Financial Crimes program. This role leads the center of excellence responsible for finding the most sophisticated financial crime actors operating today: human trafficking and forced labor networks, sanctions evasion structures, transnational fraud syndicates, terrorist financing, and professional money laundering organizations.

• Quantify and challenge coverage, identify false negative exposure, and drive remediation to closure.
• Own the strategic investigations pipeline for the highest severity, most sensitive, and most novel matters, and refer findings into the business for control, product, and customer action.
• Set the standard for how intelligence findings become durable controls rather than one-time case outcomes.

• Serve as Remitly's senior point of contact for law enforcement, FIUs, and regulatory intelligence bodies across our operating jurisdictions.
• Build trusted-partner relationships, including public-private information sharing partnerships, industry working groups, and typology forums.
• Set governance around information sharing, legal process response, and proactive referrals in coordination with Legal.

• Own reporting strategy for complex financial crime, including how findings escape into suspicious activity reporting and how sensitive…
