Headquarters: South Africa, United Arab Emirates
URL: https://www.tutuka.com/
Over many fast-growing years at Tutuka, we’ve created products that our clients and partners love. While our strategy has been successful to date, we are looking to take our approach to Product and Communications to a fundamentally new level. If you are a dynamic, ambitious Global Product & Communications Leader, who is excited by the payments market and experienced in working in a remote team, then keep reading.
As Global Product and Communications Leader, you will be working directly with the CEO of Tutuka and will have the unique opportunity to shape Tutuka by seizing the reigns of a key part of our strategy, as well as growing the products that are already disrupting payments in emerging markets. This is a role where you will have lots of opportunity to experiment and help the team find solutions, and then scaling and integrating them into our business.
This involves working closely with the client service and new business teams to launch new products that differentiate Tutuka and highlight Tutuka’s user-friendly payment services. Building out Tutuka’s product roadmap with a commercial view, while working with various teams throughout the business ensuring everyone is moving towards the same goal.
At Tutuka we thrive on making things happen and this is reflected in our approach and culture. This role would suit a self-sufficient product leader who also has some communication and pricing experience. As a fast-growing company you will need to grow a team while rolling up your sleeves up on the various product initiatives. You will have the opportunity to travel as a key part of this role, in order to see our teams in Johannesburg, Dubai and Bangkok as well as our international clients (up to 25% of your time).
In a nutshell:
This is an opportunity to work directly with our CEO and the rest of our management team to define how Tutuka grows products and sets our strategic direction for communications and pricing. You will lead and grow a team. There would be the possibility for this position to be fast-tracked to the global management team – that’s in your hands.
