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...
Our Investors
Spark Capital, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital (Jim Breyer), Unbound (Shravin Mittal), Wamda (Fadi Ghandour), Firstminute Capital, Slow Ventures (Sam Lessin), Helios Partners (Souleymane Ba), Crossbeam Ventures (Ali Hamed), Nikesh Arora, Samih Toukan, and many other context-specific angels
*We charge fees for transfers on fixed exchange rate corridors (e.g., XOF, XAF).
The Role
You’ll join our legal team of 5 lawyers reporting to the Head of Legal and People Operations and play a key role in work as varied as reviewing and negotiating our key commercial contracts, helping with strategic projects, expansion into new markets, new product launches as well as anything else that may cross the legal desk.
You’ll work closely with all business functions and be an expert at communicating legal issues to non-lawyers and balancing business and legal perspectives. You’re a self-starter who is comfortable stepping out of your comfort zone to drive business growth by tackling the laws and regulations of many different markets (with support from local counsel of course).
Requirements- Are legally qualified with 3-7 years’ PQE, which must include in-house experience (preferably at a start-up)
- Preferably have had exposure to Fintech / payments regulatory work
- Have strong organisational skills and are able to autonomously lead multiple deliverables in a fast pace environment
- Are excited by new challenges and like understanding laws in new markets and around new financial products
- Are an exceptional communicator and able to explain complex legal concepts in simple terms
- Are comfortable operating outside your comfort zone and are solutions-minded
- Can move quickly without that affecting the quality of your work
- Are fluent in English; French a plus
Impact first.
Team next.
Accept reality.
Propose solutions.
Win with grit.
Be proactively candid, with yourself and others.
Love the particular.
Own it.
Create positive energy.
Maybe, even have fun.
