The Team

The Passbook team is a startup within Remitly, and we think combines the best parts of working in a startup with the best parts of working in a later stage technology company.

Passbook is banking designed for immigrants. It's easy to open an account with documents immigrants already have, built for travel back home and abroad, has no monthly fees, and makes remittances faster and cheaper than ever. Our mission is to create the most loved and trusted banking partner to immigrants globally. And we're just getting started.

About the Role

As a Risk Program Manager at Passbook by Remitly, you scale our customer protection efforts. Our team's goal is to tell good customers from bad actors so we can provide a smooth experience for the former and put friction in front of the latter. You will help achieve this goal by understanding customer and fraudster behavior, defining data-driven policies that balance superb customer experience with acceptable risk exposure, and implementing efficient and scalable processes that enforce them. You will work with product managers, engineers, data analysts, customer behavior investigators, customer success leaders, external vendors, and executive leadership. You will report directly to our Head of Risk.

• Own sound decisions grounded in data, with direct impact on our customers and to our business
• Establish metrics to monitor risk performance and customer friction, measure success and identify opportunities for improvement
• Establish risk policies and service level agreements, partner with the Investigations Team to implement processes that enforce them, and iterate to simplify and scale
• Prioritize and manage complex projects across multiple teams and external partners
• Produce clear reporting documents and communicate to all partners

Who You Are

• Empathize with our good customers but also think like a fraudster
• 3+ years of experience building and scaling process improvement and analytics projects in a large organization
• Excel (can perform complex functions) and SQL knowledge. You have a mind towards scaling operations
