Head of Business Operations — Business

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

How we work

A BizOps role at Taptap Send is a super Individual Contributor. For your topic you are the single threaded owner, the analyst, the product manager, the engineer and the operations lead. In practice you don’t wait for others, you leverage AI to get things done and build what drives the outcome you seek.

This is not a coordination role, and it is not a strategy-deck role. If your best work has been influencing other teams to build things, this will be a frustrating job. If you have been waiting for a role where you are simply allowed to go and fix it, this is that role.

This role is a launchpad — previous BizOps hires have gone on to lead functions and launch products.
