Descripción del empleo

Were partnering with a fast-growing, venture-backed fintech operating across Latin America that is reimagining how small and medium businesses access financial solutions.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and go-to-market execution. You will be responsible for building a high-impact communications function from the ground up, shaping how the company is perceived by partners, media, and the broader ecosystem. Youll work closely with Business Development, Strategic Partnerships, Product, Risk, and Data teams, and collaborate directly with executive leadership.
