Overview
At Lupa, we're hiring a Manager, Strategic Finance for a fast-growing, vertically integrated fiber internet provider serving customers across Colombia and expanding internationally. Backed by a recently closed $40M Series B and top-tier investors, this is a company building its own network infrastructure and software — a genuinely capital-intensive, high-velocity business with big strategic decisions on the table.
This is a strategic analysis and decision-support seat, first and foremost. You'll be the analytical horsepower behind the company's biggest bets — pricing, expansion, M&A, competitive response — and you'll support the VP of Finance on capital raises, diligence, and investor relations. If you love taking an ambiguous question and turning it into a defensible, board-ready recommendation, this is your kind of role.
You'll join a lean, hungry finance team at a company that's the belle of the ball in LATAM: strong brand, strong funding, and a leadership team that mixes US pedigree with LATAM roots. For the right person, this is a chance to punch above your weight and shape decisions that move the business.
What You'll Do
Lead ad-hoc analysis on major strategic questions and drive the resulting decisions through the business
Evaluate M&A, partnership, and market-expansion opportunities — and build the business case
Build competitive and market intelligence: benchmarking, market sizing, and positioning
Develop strategic frameworks (expansion IRR, unit economics at scale, scenario trade-offs) through to implementation
Proactively surface strategic risks and opportunities, with clear recommendations
Support modeling for strategic decisions — M&A cases, financing scenarios, capital-structure trade-offs
Build and maintain standalone models for initiatives outside the core FP&A model
Stress-test assumptions on major financial decisions before they reach the board
Support capital raise processes (equity and debt): data room prep, diligence responses, and potentially leading fundraising workstreams
Support investor-facing materials and board narrative
Assist with cap table and equity administration tracking
Help manage the investor and lender relationship calendar
Who You Are
Must-haves
Pre-MBA or MBA experience in investment banking, private equity, or growth equity — this is the technical-horsepower anchor of the role
Demonstrated ability to run ad-hoc financial/strategic analysis that leads to real business decisions, with strong velocity and thoroughness
Strong financial modeling skills — complex scenario and decision models
Full bilingual proficiency in Spanish and English (written and spoken)
AI-native — demonstrable use of AI in modeling, analysis, and drafting
Polished communicator, credible with leadership, investors, and lenders
Sharp analytical thinker with high editorial standards on investor/board materials
Nice-to-haves
MBA (new or recent grad), ideally with a management consulting stint layered onto the banking/PE background
Exposure to capital raise or diligence processes
Background in telecoms, ISP, infrastructure, or subscription businesses (capital-intensive, CapEx-heavy environments are a strong plus)
Experience with LATAM capital markets or cross-border financing
Experience with debt financing / credit facilities
What's In It For You
Compensation: Competitive, top-of-market pay for top talent. Target range approximately COP $25–35M/month (roughly USD $8,000–10,000/month), calibrated to experience and location.
Location: Medellín or Bogotá preferred; open to other LATAM cities, plus Miami, Houston, and NYC. Native/strong Spanish speaker required.
Work model: Remote-friendly with light, ad-hoc travel to Medellín — approximately 10–20% of time, as needed (lighter than other finance roles on the team).
Reporting & scope: Reports to the VP of Finance. Individual contributor with no direct reports initially.
Growth: High-visibility seat with direct exposure to executive leadership, investors, and lenders at a Series B company scaling fast — a strong platform for career acceleration as the company moves toward its next raise.
Benefits: Standard benefits package aligned to your hiring geography and employment model (local entity, contractor, or EOR).
