• Operate AI-Natively: Implement and evangelize the use of agentic toolchains and LLMs to accelerate research, analysis, and creative iteration across the marketing organization.
• Build the Foundation: Establish planning rhythms and measurement frameworks, tracking high-impact KPIs such as LTV, share of wallet, and retention against traditional banking incumbents.
• Champion Culture: Exemplify Remitly's Cultural Values, serving as a role model and mentor to marketers and peers across the organization.

You Have:

• Experience: 12+ years of marketing experience, with a proven track record of leading high-impact projects for financially sophisticated or premium consumer segments.
