BD Manager, Institutional Payments

About the Role

Taptap Send is building a new institutional payments business. We move money across 80+ emerging market corridors and are now opening that infrastructure to institutional clients — crypto exchanges, fintechs, MTOs, and corporate treasury teams. This is an early commercial hire into that business.

The Role

You'll own a pipeline of institutional partners from first contact through to live. You'll work closely with trading and ops to structure deals and get clients across the line quickly.

What You'll Do

Source and close new institutional partnerships across crypto, fintech, and payments

Manage the full BD cycle, outreach, qualification, commercial negotiation, onboarding handoff

Represent Taptap Send at industry events and build profile in target segments

Work with internal teams to translate client needs into product and corridor priorities

Maintain a clean pipeline and report directly to senior leadership

What We're Looking For

3–5 years in BD, partnerships, or sales within payments, crypto, or FX

An existing network across crypto exchanges, MTOs, or EM fintechs

Comfortable selling a technical product to sophisticated buyers, treasury teams, CFOs, heads of payments

Organised, self-directed, and happy working without a large support structure around you

What We Offer

Competitive base + performance-linked bonus

Direct line to senior leadership and real influence over commercial strategy

A fast-growing platform with genuine EM depth and strong banking infrastructure behind it

About Us

We’re building the world’s leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets - empowering families, fuelling local economies, and changing how millions access financial services.

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 .
