Product Manager
About Us
We’re building the world’s leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets - empowering families, fueling local economies, and changing how millions access financial services.
Since our launch in 2019, we have transformed how money moves across borders with our operations spanning 6 out of 7 continents and covering both the busiest and most underserved (remittance) corridors. We tapped into a massive shift - from banks to phones - bringing digital finance to places where traditional systems never reached. The next stage of growth will fuel a network of services and products especially designed to make money more accessible to diaspora communities including local cards, and additional savings and payments features.
We’re growing fast, backed by world-class investors, and scaling a product that blends real world impact with cutting edge fintech innovation.
Here’s a little more:
Founded by Harvard grads and 3-time founders who previously built Segovia (acquired) and GiveDirectly (>$300M revenue, fastest-growing NGO in the world)
Backed by top investors including Spark Capital, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital, Unbound, Wamda, and more
Built by global top performers from Bain, Google, McKinsey, Uber, Checkout, Bolt, and beyond - we move fast, stay humble, and care deeply about our mission
Truly global team - 250+ people, 50+ nationalities, 50+ languages
Guided by our values - ownership, impact, humility, and heart - in deed, not just word
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. Perhaps most centrally, they will have an ability to think holistically, quickly identify problems, simplify and find practical solutions.
