The Role

Taptap Send Business is early and growing fast. Businesses are already using us to pay people and suppliers across emerging markets, and we are launching a wider set of products and geographies.

• Structure complex and ambiguous problems by conducting ad hoc analysis

• Act as Product Ops for the Business line: turn what customers tell us into evidenced product priorities, and get them built

• Work across highly technical and specialised product, engineering and data colleagues to deliver an experience business customers stay for

Requirements

• Comfortable using SQL to drive decisions daily

• Willingness to build and iterate on AI-powered workflows and automations

• No task too small, willingness to dive in and sweat the details regardless of the tool or problem

• Comfortable in a regulated, 24/7 business where the stakes for the customer are real

• London, office based
  

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.
