Business Development Senior Manager

Job Description: 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. About the role: We're hiring a Business Development Sales Manager to own deal origination and execution across two sides of our ecosystem. This is a quota-bearing role: you'll build pipeline, run complex multi-stakeholder deals, and close agreements that drive real payment volume across both sender-side (embedding Remitly into financial platforms) and receiver-side (becoming the preferred payout rail for marketplaces, EOR platforms, and regional wallets) motions.   What You'll Do Sender-Side Partnerships Identify, pitch, and negotiate partnerships with SMB financial platforms — AP tools, spend management, accounting software — where cross-border payment is a product gap. Structure commercial terms covering volume thresholds, revenue share, and API integration SLAs. Build relationships with commercial and digital-first banks (UK, Europe, US) that serve SMBs but lack deep EM corridor infrastructure. Navigate complex procurement and compliance processes across product, treasury, legal, and risk stakeholders. Receiver-Side Partnerships Close disbursement partnerships with gig and freelance platforms that have high concentrations of EM-based workers, tying commercial terms to payout volume and account activations. Own the EOR and payroll vertical: source and close disbursement API partnerships with global EOR and contractor management platforms; build pipeline across staffing and outsourcing providers with EM contractor bases. Deepen receive-side rail partnerships with regional wallets and neobanks in priority corridors: Pakistan, Philippines, Bangladesh, Colombia, Nigeria, Kenya, and others. Deal Execution Own the full deal cycle: origination through contract execution and early partner success. Coordinate across Legal, Compliance, Finance, Product, and Engineering to keep deals moving. Maintain a stage-gated CRM pipeline with accurate forecasting; contribute to a scalable partnership playbook. What You'll Bring 8+ years in business development, partnerships, or B2B sales with majority in fintech, payments, or financial services. Proven track record closing B2B commercial agreements with product or API integration components. Direct experience with at least one of: SMB financial platforms, digital/commercial banks, EOR/payroll platforms, or freelancer/gig marketplaces. Working knowledge of cross-border payment rails (ACH, SWIFT, FX, local disbursement) and the EOR/payroll ecosystem. Strong commercial instincts: ability to construct and evaluate deal economics including rev share and volume commitments. High independence, structured communication, and a builder's mindset — the playbook doesn't fully exist yet. Warm network in partner categories actively exploring cross-border payout upgrades. Prior experience at a global payroll or EOR platform (Deel, Remote, Rippling, etc.). Experience with receive-side disbursement partnerships or API-first BD deals. This Role Isn't For You If: You come from enterprise SaaS without fintech depth, prefer inbound-heavy or SDR-supported motions, or are primarily a relationship maintainer rather than a deal closer.   Compensation Details The starting base salary range for this position is typically $168,000–$210,000.
