Job description

We're looking for a Head of FP&A to lead financial planning and analysis for our Colombia operations. You'll partner with the Group Head of FP&A to turn financial data into clear, actionable insight, and you'll play a key role in how the business plans, forecasts, and grows.

As Head of FP&A, you'll own the financial planning process end to end — from budgeting and forecasting to scenario modeling and investor reporting. You'll be the person leadership turns to for a clear read on the numbers, and the person who helps translate that read into decisions across the business.

 

Challenges that await you:

  • Lead and manage the financial planning process including budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling
  • Prepare regular management reports for senior leadership and investors
  • Consolidate financial data across business units and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs)
  • Build and maintain financial models to evaluate business scenarios, new products, and strategic initiatives
  • Monitor budget execution, analyze variances, and recommend ways to improve efficiency
  • Support fundraising activities: prepare investor materials, analyze key metrics, and coordinate due diligence processes
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Sales, Marketing, Risk, Operations, Product) to align financial objectives with overall company strategy
  • Drive automation and optimization of FP&A processes, implementing best practices and tools

What makes you a great fit:

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or a related field
  • 7+ years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or corporate finance
  • At least 2–3 years in a managerial FP&A or similar leadership role
  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel
  • Experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar)
  • Excellent analytical skills and the ability to work with large datasets
  • Strong communication skills, with experience preparing and presenting materials for executives and investors
  • Solid understanding of financial and management accounting, including P&L, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet
  • Professional English proficiency (written and verbal) to prepare reports and interact with investors

Nice to have: 

  • Experience in fintech, banking, or high-growth startups
  • Track record in capital raising or debt financing
  • Familiarity with SQL and analytical databases
  • Knowledge of IFRS or US GAAP

Our ways of working:

  • Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions
  • Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication
  • Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community
  • Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together
  • High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who date to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances

Our benefits:

  • Relocation support to our hub in Colombia — with assistance for the employee and their family
  • Flexible work from our office
  • Healthcare Coverage
  • Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certifications
  • Wellness Budget: Mental health and fitness activity reimbursements
  • Vacation policy: 20 days of annual leave and paid sick leave
