This role will own the Finance Automation pillar, defining how global customers manage spend, automate expense workflows, and eliminate manual financial processes.You will go deep into data and customer conversations to identify the highest-impact problems, build a clear case for where to invest, and move quickly from insight to shipped product. This is not a strategy-only role. While structured thinking and strong communication are essential, we’re looking for someone who can translate analysis into execution, creates prototypes as specs, partners with engineering and design, and iterates rapidly based on results.You will lead the full product lifecycle, using AI not as a surface-level feature, but as a foundational layer to redesign financial workflows from first principles—collapsing multi-step, manual processes into seamless automated outcomes.Because our customers operate across Latin America, the US, and Europe, we strongly prefer candidates based in Mexico, Colombia, or Brazil who understand the operational and market nuances of these regions.Location: This role is based out of São Paulo, Brazil, and is a full-time position where it is required to come into our office at complexo JK Iguatemi (2-3 days/week). #LI-Hybrid<h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">What you will do:</h3><h4 class="text-lg md:text-xl font-semibold mt-6 mb-2 text-gray-800">AI-Native Product Thinking</h4><ul class="list-disc list-inside my-5 pl-5 space-y-2 text-gray-700"><li class="leading-relaxed">Start from the user’s pain, not from the technology.
