Description

  • Lead the design and build of the company’s enterprise control framework across key business and operational processes.
  • Assess existing workflows to identify control gaps, failure points, manual dependencies, and areas of elevated operational risk.
  • Map end-to-end processes and translate them into clear, scalable control points and operating procedures.
  • Design preventive, detective, and monitoring controls that are practical, auditable, and aligned with business realities.
  • Develop and formalize SOPs, control documentation, ownership structures, escalation paths, and remediation processes.
  • Partner with Risk, Product, Operations, Finance, Compliance, Technology, and Data teams to embed controls into daily operations and system workflows.
  • Drive control implementation from concept through rollout, including stakeholder alignment, documentation, training, and follow-up.
  • Establish governance around control execution, issue tracking, remediation, and evidence retention.
  • Bring structure to how control failures are identified, escalated, root-caused, remediated, and closed.
  • Support management readiness for internal audit, external review, board discussions, or broader control maturity initiatives as needed.

Requirements

  • 6–10+ years of experience in enterprise controls, operational risk, internal controls, internal audit, process excellence, or a related field.
  • Strong experience building or significantly upgrading controls in a high-growth company, fintech, startup, or similarly dynamic environment.
  • Deep expertise in process mapping, SOP development, controls design, remediation tracking, and operating model improvement.
  • Strong understanding of internal control frameworks such as COSO.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex, cross-functional initiatives with limited structure.
  • Proven ability to influence without direct authority and drive action across business, product, and technical teams.
  • Comfortable being both strategic and hands-on in a builder role rather than a purely advisory role.
  • Strong judgment in balancing rigor and practicality to create effective controls without slowing down the business unnecessarily.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complexity into clear actions and documentation.
  • Experience in regulated environments, lending, fintech, payments, or financial services is strongly preferred.
  • Experience in startup scaling, operational excellence, or transformation work is a strong plus.

Benefits

  • The chance to join a high-impact, mission-driven fintech with regional scale.
  • Leadership over enterprise controls for a fast-paced and growth-oriented startup.
  • Cross-functional collaboration with exceptional teams across Latin America.
  • Exposure to complex legal and regulatory challenges and innovation in embedded finance.
