Product & Regulatory Counsel

About the role

Taptap Send, which moves billions of dollars monthly across 100 countries and is now building wallets, cards and broader financial products for diaspora communities, is hiring a Product & Regulatory Counsel. You will advise on new licensing and products from first idea to go-live, and own regulator engagement across its markets.

Key responsibilities

• Shape products before they are built: review designs, UX, flows and terms against regulatory and customer-outcome rules, including Consumer Duty.
• Turn regulation into decisions: identify what is mandatory, what is prudent and the alternative route that still allows a launch.
• Own the regulator relationship across existing and new markets, flagging regulatory changes early.
• Take products to new countries by localising what already works, with country leads and local counsel.
• Build playbooks and templates so Legal can scale without adding friction.

Required profile

• Qualified lawyer (UK or equivalent) with 4+ years' PQE in payments, e-money or financial services regulation, at a firm, regulator or fintech.
• Experience advising payments or e-money firms under the FCA or an equivalent regime, dealing with the regulator directly and helping product teams launch.
• Comfortable giving the answer first and the reasoning second, and making calls across several jurisdictions.
