The Operations Team
Great ideas aren't enough. To build a truly global business, we need great experiences. Join our operations team and help build, operate, and scale our customer, financial and administrative operations across the Middle East and beyond. Yalla! let's do this
As a Tapster you will:
Conduct structured process reviews across internal teams — mapping how work currently flows, identifying bottlenecks, and documenting findings
Identify gaps in processes: steps that are missing, ownership that is unclear, handoffs that are broken, or decisions that lack criteria
Identify blind spots: risks or failure modes that the team is not currently tracking or aware of
Identify pain points: the manual work, repeated errors, communication breakdowns, or resource drains that frustrate teams
Design improved processes — proposing how workflows should evolve to eliminate identified problems, using recognised process design standards
Document current-state and future-state processes in clear process maps, flowcharts, and written SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)
Work with team leads to validate findings and gain buy-in for proposed process changes
Track the implementation of process improvements — ensuring agreed changes are actually adopted, not just approved
Feed findings into the Ops Dashboard — ensuring all identified pain points, proposed solutions, and implementation statuses are logged
Support the Ops leadership team in identifying which process problems should be escalated to product or engineering for a technical solution
Benchmark Tap's processes against industry standards where applicable — particularly for KYC, dispute resolution, and onboarding
What you will bring to the party:
2–4 years in a business analysis, operations management, or process improvement role
Proficient with process mapping tools — Lucidchart, Miro, Visio, or equivalent
Familiarity with process improvement methodologies — Lean, Six Sigma, BPM, or similar (certification a plus but not required)
Strong ability to write clear, structured documents: process maps, SOPs, gap analysis reports, and findings summaries
Comfortable interviewing team members at all levels — from frontline operators to department heads — to extract process knowledge
Ability to question “this is how we've always done it” and propose evidence-based improvements
Understanding of payment processing operations (KYC, dispute handling, onboarding, reconciliation) is a strong advantage
Comfortable reading reports, interpreting SLA data, and using numbers to support findings (not a data analyst role but data-aware)
Degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent
2–4 years — mid-level; ability to work independently on process reviews without close supervision
Operations (Ops) Analysts Do NOT Do (Scope Clarity):
Do not manage projects or own implementation of improvements — Ops delivery management handles that
Do not design technical solutions — they identify needs and define requirements, engineers implement them
Do not report on data — that is the Data Analyst’s domain; they use data to support process findings
