Opportunity

We're hiring a Finance and Automation Manager to own our day-to-day accounting engine — ledgers, month-end/year-end close, tax-compliance oversight, AP, and payroll — and to build the tooling that makes finance faster. This is a player-coach role: you personally own key accounting areas and the automation build, while managing a team (3 today) to deliver the rest. You report to the Finance Transformation Manager and partner as a peer with the Controller.

What you will do

• Own financials, month end close, ad-hoc reports and models, cash flow, budgeting processes.
• Manage, coach, and develop an accounting team — balancing hands-on ownership with delegation.
• Oversee AP and payroll delivered by the team
• Own cash oversight: monitor position and upcoming outflows, and coordinate with banking partners.
• Build and ship internal finance tooling end to end — dashboards, automations, and web apps with some internal support
• Partner with the Finance Transformation Manager so accounting operations support strategic and high level decisions.
• Act as the key point of accountability for accounting as the function scales.

What we're looking for

• Strong, hands-on technical accounting: ledgers, close, tax, AP, payroll.
• Proven people leadership — managing and developing a small team (this is half the role).
• Demonstrated ability to independently build and ship finance tools, dashboards, or automations using AI vibe coding tools— portfolio or code sample expected.
• US accounting-practice experience and exposure to US-based companies.
• Comfortable holding release-level payment authority and the controls that come with it.
• Experience with global, distributed, culturally diverse teams; fluent written and spoken English; high autonomy.
• Latam-based preferred.
