Job description

SadaPay is transforming financial services in Pakistan with a digital-first experience that makes managing money simple, transparent, and hassle-free. With millions of Pakistanis still outside the formal financial system, we believe financial services need a radical shift. All you need to get started with SadaPay is a CNIC, a phone number, and a smartphone: no paperwork, no long waits. Our 3 million+ users have left their worst banking frustrations behind, with no hidden fees, free local transfers, and a payment experience that’s actually enjoyable. Pair that with friendly customer service and a vibrant debit card, and finance doesn’t just work; it feels fun!

Why is this role important?

Investing is SadaPay’s next big step. You’ll build our investing business from the ground up and bring investing to our 3 million+ users, many of them first-time investors.

This is an individual contributor role reporting directly to the CEO, with no direct reports initially. You’ll own the initiative end to end, working across marketing, product, technology, and finance, with support from legal, compliance, and operations. There’s no playbook to follow here, which is why we need someone who has already done this at a digital stock trading or brokerage app.

As a Sadanaut, you will:

• Define the launch proposition. Identify the customer segment, validate demand, and recommend the first investing experience we bring to market.
• Shape the investing journey. Use your digital brokerage expertise to design account opening, funding, portfolio views, order execution and withdrawals around the needs of first-time investors.
• Build investment partnerships. Evaluate brokers and other providers, coordinate due diligence and negotiate commercial and operational terms.
• Drive delivery across teams. Work with product and technology on requirements, integrations and launch dependencies. Work with marketing on positioning, education and acquisition, and with finance on pricing and unit economics.
• Get us launch-ready. Work with legal, compliance and operations on the right structure, permissions, disclosures and support processes.
• Own performance after launch. Track account-opening completion, first deposits, first investments, repeat contributions, retention and customer issues. Prioritize improvements using data and customer feedback.

As a Sadanaut, you will bring:

• Direct experience at a digital stock trading app or digital brokerage (required), in a product, growth, business operations or partnerships role.
• Personal ownership of a meaningful launch or improvement to the investing customer journey, with measurable results.
• Practical knowledge of brokerage onboarding, account funding, trading, settlement, custody and withdrawals.
• Strong analytical and commercial skills, including conversion funnels, pricing, acquisition costs and partner economics.
• A track record of delivering with engineering, product, marketing, finance and compliance. You influence without formal authority, resolve dependencies and still do the detailed work yourself.
• Clear communication and an instinct for making investing understandable to beginners.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with Pakistan’s capital markets, embedded brokerage, social investing, copy trading, or model portfolios.
• A finance qualification. This helps but isn’t required.

Perks of being at SadaPay:

• USD-denominated salary: Your salary is set in USD and converted to PKR when paid, so it holds its value if the rupee weakens. If the rupee strengthens, you’ll still receive at least the PKR salary in your offer. All applicable taxes and deductions apply.
• Hybrid work: 2 days a week in our Karachi office and 3 days remote, balancing collaboration, flexibility, and focused work.
• Flexible leave: No fixed number of leave days and no leave categories. We trust Sadanauts to plan their time off responsibly.
• Comprehensive medical insurance: Outpatient and inpatient cover for every team member, regardless of grade, including immediate family and parents.
• Provident fund: Contributions for every team member to support your long-term financial growth.
• Tech and resources: A laptop and any additional resources your role needs to work efficiently and comfortably.

Equal Opportunity Employer

At SadaPay, we’re committed to an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome, respected and valued. Discrimination of any kind has no place here. Our recruitment process is built on fairness and equality for all, irrespective of race, age, gender, colour, religion, social status, disability or ethnicity.
