Our Mission
Reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home, and become the leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets.

The Team
-> Founded by Harvard grads / 3rd-time founders --- also founded Segovia (successful exit) and GiveDirectly (>300M revenue, fastest-growing NGO).
-> Top performers from top and varied organizations (e.g., Bain, Bolt, Google, McKinsey, SafeBoda, Uber, Zipline) --- we like moving fast, and we hire people that do as well.
-> Driven by mission, guided by values (see below) – in deed, not just word.
-> Team as global as the mission, >30 languages from 25 countries (i.e., if you’re interested in learning to make Chicken Moambe, we’re the place).

About Us
Taptap Send is backed by top VCs (Spark, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital, etc.), rapidly growing and a great place for those looking for both impact and a fast-paced tech startup environment. Read more about the journey in Reid Hoffman’s words or TechCrunch article

Launched in 2019, Taptap is tapping into a transformative shift in global finance: from banks to phones. While this has affected wealthier countries as well, it has been nothing short of a revolution for the emerging markets where the overwhelming majority of population had been unable to access digital finance previously. Taptap Send allows immigrants to send money home instantly and with no fee*, saving money in the process. With a formal market size of >700B alone, we’ve got a lot more saving to do for our users. Our mission is to reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home, and become the leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets. And that’s just the beginning...

*We charge fees for transfers on fixed exchange rate corridors (e.g., XOF, XAF).

We’re building the fastest launch team in fintech. Our mission is to take new markets live faster than anyone else. To do that, we need people who thrive under pressure, make smart decisions with incomplete information, and own outcomes end to end.

We’re looking for a finance-rooted operator to own and execute the finance side of our launches. You’ll lead forecasting, compliance, bank accounts, and external relationships, while shaping the business model as data comes in. Your job is to keep launches moving by unblocking anything finance-related and ensuring we have control and visibility over economics from day one.

This isn’t a narrow finance role. You’ll anchor in finance but work across operations, compliance, product, analytics, and commercial to remove blockers and drive execution. If it matters for launch, it’s in scope.

What you’ll do

• Own all finance aspects of market launches — forecasting, modelling, structuring, controls, reporting, and compliance.

• Be the point person with internal teams and external stakeholders to unblock execution and keep launches moving.

• Shape and refine the launch business model as data emerges — surfacing insights, improving cost visibility, and safeguarding unit economics.

• Ensure finance infrastructure is launch-ready — reconciliations, reporting, and scalable processes in place from day one.

• Step into broader commercial and operational issues where needed — from contracts to partner negotiations — to accelerate launch and protect economics.

What we're looking for

• A finance-rooted operator who thrives in ambiguity and high stakes.

• Experience in launching new markets from the ground up, and managing those launches from a finance perspective.

• Autonomous and decisive — you make fast, well-judged calls without waiting for perfect information.

• Obsessed with ownership — problems don’t sit unattended when you’re in the room.

• Able to simplify complexity into clear, actionable steps and drive them to completion.

• Equally comfortable shaping strategy and diving into execution.

• A trusted communicator — concise, clear, and able to align stakeholders without slowing things down.

If you want predictability or a narrow remit, this isn’t the role for you. If you want to push yourself as part of a high-performing team that launches markets faster than anyone else, we’d love to hear from you.
