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

The Role

We’re hiring a high-performing Global Business Development Lead to help drive Taptap Send’s next phase of international expansion.

Based in Dubai, London or Paris, you will work closely with the Head of Business Development as their right-hand execution partner, helping shape global priorities and turning them into commercial partnerships and successful market launches. This is a broad, high-ownership role spanning new markets, strategic partnerships, and cross-border growth opportunities.

You will own expansion initiatives at every stage - from identifying and evaluating opportunities to developing partner relationships on the ground, negotiating agreements, and coordinating execution through launch. You will work across multiple regions and corridors, with exposure to banks, fintechs, payment providers, regulators, and other ecosystem partners.

We would particularly value candidates with experience working across Africa, although the remit is global and strong experience in other emerging markets is equally relevant.

This role is ideal for someone who combines market insight, commercial judgment, and execution speed. You will bring a high bias for action, move comfortably between strategy and hands-on delivery, and maintain momentum across complex, fast-moving workstreams.

The role will involve frequent international travel and is well suited to someone who enjoys being on the ground - meeting partners, understanding how markets operate in practice, and solving problems firsthand. You should be energized by unfamiliar environments and comfortable going wherever needed to turn opportunities into successful launches.
