With nearly half a billion dollars raised from equity and debt, we are serving millions of customers across three continents. Tala has been named by the Fortune Impact 20 list, CNBC’s Disruptor 50 five years in a row, CNBC’s World's Top Fintech Company, Forbes’ Fintech 50 list for eight years running, and Chief's The New Era of Leadership Award. We are expanding across product offerings, countries and crypto and are looking for people who have an entrepreneurial spirit and are passionate about our mission.
By creating a unique platform that enables lending and other financial services around the globe, people in emerging markets are able to start and expand small businesses, manage day-to-day needs, and pursue their financial goals with confidence. Currently, over nine million people across Kenya, the Philippines, Mexico, and India have used Tala products. Due to our global team, we have a remote-first approach, and also have offices in Santa Monica, CA (HQ); Nairobi, Kenya; Mexico City, Mexico; Manila, the Philippines; and Bangalore, India.
Most Talazens join us because they connect with our mission. If you are energized by the impact you can make at Tala, we’d love to hear from you!

  • Be a great people leader who invests in and empowers your team, unlocking more talent and impact. Strong track record building and leading healthy, impact-oriented organizations.
  • Have strong execution acumen. Understand how to strategically sequence and drive work so that vision becomes a reality, including experience driving a high-velocity test & learn culture

  • Always ensure the customer has a “seat at the table”; demonstrate high fluency for the nuances of our customer segments, the ecosystems we are operating in and ensure they are the DNA of how we do product at Tala. 
  • Elevate leadership at Tala overall. Be a role model for candor, feedback, bias-to-action, and crisp, clear communication. 


  • What You Need
  • 15+ years of product management experience, managing software products from inception through launch and iteration.
  • 7+ years experience building, mentoring, and leading global, world-class teams of product managers.  
  • Led successful global teams in both hypergrowth and scale-up environments and demonstrated skills for driving successful teams through multiple phases of growth and scale.
  • Launched and scaled consumer-facing products with a customer-first mindset, emphasizing design and innovation.
  • Proven ability to drive results and make decisions with imperfect information, and comfort managing teams through ambiguity and complexity.
  • Preference is given to the high degree of lending literacy. 


  • Our vision is to build a new financial ecosystem where everyone can participate on equal footing and access the tools they need to be financially healthy. We strongly believe that inclusion fosters innovation and we’re proud to have a diverse global team that represents a multitude of backgrounds, cultures, and experience. We hire talented people regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
