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.
