Our Mission
Reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home by becoming the leading cross-border fintech for immigrants.

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.  Its first product, 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. 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

Taptap Send is looking for a hungry, highly analytical generalist to help us scale our Finance team for the future. Even with the help of a leading edge technology platform, moving millions of dollars a day across dozens of countries and currencies on legacy banking infrastructure isn’t easy. This role will help implement our next generation of financial systems, equipping the Financial Control and Financial Planning teams with the tools they need to support our rapid global growth.

Requirements

    • At least 5 years of high-performing experience in a data-intensive, analytical environment (professional services, fast growth startup)

    • Instinct to add ‘just enough’ process to scale without cumbersome bureaucracy
    • Nice to have: fluency in languages beyond English
    • Willingness to be based in the London area and regularly work in the office (London Bridge)
