United Kingdom Taptap Send group Full time

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).

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

The Role

You will be joining Taptap Send’s product team, with responsibility for the full-stack of product from product strategy (i.e., identify primary ideas for product improvement) to design (i.e., creating initial mocks; writing technical specs) and implementation (i.e., cross-functional project management and execution).

You’ll take product features from conception to implementation. Your role will be central to translating our customer and internal needs into a product roadmap, and then working with engineering to execute against it.

An ideal candidate will want to spend extensive time with our customers and be as fluent in user interviews and UX as analytics and SQL. They will have a deep understanding of product management for consumer products, experience with immigrant communities, a passion for social change, and an ability to lead multiple stakeholders to execute against the plan (fluent French is also strongly preferred). Perhaps most centrally, they will have an ability to think holistically, quickly identify problems, simplify and find practical solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Identify opportunities for product improvement through analytics and customer interviews

  • Define plan for such improvement, including timing and resource requirements

  • Design initial product mocks based on user research

  • Write product specs to improve efficiency of the build

  • Coordinate across engineering, operations, compliance, markets, etc. to execute efficiently

  • Implement systems for iterative development with regular user feedback

Requirements

  • 5 years’ experience working in product management or consulting for a top tier company

  • Experience in fintech strongly preferredExperience with immigrant communities and empathy for our customers

  • Strong analytical skills

  • Experience with SQL and/or Mixpanel

  • Outstanding project management skills, including end-to-end problem ownership

  • UX design instincts

  • Fluency in French preferred w/ additional languages a plus
